The Experience
We are looking for 2 volunteers to help get the Hostel ready for the season. Deep cleaning, basic DIY and some redecorating! Ideally a couple or pair of friends as the hostel is not open yet so no-one to hang out with! You can manage your on time. I will give you a to-do list to be worked through.

It was a wonderful experience Christine and her family make you feel at home. I really enjoyed the time I spent working with the other volunteers and of course with Crishtine who is always on the lookout for what we need. One of my dreams was to see Scotland and I think it was perfect to go to the Isle of Lewis and Harris, it has wonderful scenery, just like a film! Stornoway is a beautiful and peaceful place with welcoming people.

I absolutely looved the hostel!! Cristine is such a loving Manager and also her parents are really sweet and comforting. I honestly haven't felt like I worked there, it was more like beeing part of the family in which you just naturally help with the housekeeping and general tasks in the hostel. I had the impression that the volunteers and their safety and well-beeing were always Christine's first priority, which I really apreciate! To me, Stornoway is such a cute wee city. I often just wanted to take a walk and ended up on a three hour hike. So HIGHLY recommended! Fab experience<3

This was an amazing experience! the work is simple and you are shown how to do everything you need to know. the expectations of you are very clear. this was the perfect way to create new friends and explore the area as the work hours are small and easy to plan around. the host and her family are lovely and make sure that you feel very welcome! this was the perfect first volunteer experience and i couldn't be more grateful it was here at the hostel!

There are not enough stars available to rate this experience with what it truly deserves - I have found a second home within Scotland. Couldn't have asked for a more wholesome environment and family to come work with and for, it was well beyond any expectations I had for my first hostel volunteering experience and would come back in a heartbeat ❤️

My time at HebHostel felt like a dream! Everyone was so incredibly friendly! Christine is an awesome host, she always checked in with us to make sure we were fine and she truly made me feel like a part of the family. I'm so glad I got to meet her as well as her parents, her kids and her partner! The work is very straight forward and I got to meet so many friendly people from all over the world! From Stornoway, you're able to make lots of trips to other spots on Lewis or Harris and the nature is breathtaking :) Thank you so so much for everything!!
