The Experience

In our everyday activity we need help with cleaning and preparing the rooms but it is as important as chatting with the guests and making them feel welcomed here. Everything in the place is in constant change - we are rebuilding and rearranging things all the time, so sometimes we need help with building, painting and preparing to open our roof terrace - this means growing plants and doing different craft projects!

I had a great experience at the hostel! Tadeusz and Asia mad a great working environment with a clear idea of what tasks we were all responsible for. There was a great community with the other volunteers, with several events hosted by others at the hostel, and it was a great place to meet other travelers.

I enjoyed my stay in the hostel. Kind of sad that I needed to leave, when it started to feel like home. The work is pretty easy and fair and you get lots of time off to visit other cities, participate in local activities or go to the lake. Also they provide some food for the volunteer to use aswell :) Overall very lovely place that I can recommend if you are looking for a cozy/ artsy and more or less a calm hostel <3

The hostel was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't have chosen a better place. I stayed for three weeks but wish I had stayed longer—if you're considering it, I highly recommend spending more time there. The hostel is small but cozy, and the tasks are easy to manage. Tartu has a small-town charm, yet there's always something to do. Helgur and Sigrid are kind and always available to help. I'm truly grateful for this experience and leave with great memories and even better people <3

My time at the hostel was so special, primarily because of the wonderful people: fellow volunteers, staff and visiting guests. the hostel was close-by to several arts/ culture orgs that host events and Tartu has many green spaces to walk in. The hostel itself is also very welcoming and cozy! The management is a bit disorganized communication wise, but they are open to new ideas and the work was easy and collaborative. Time off was respected and I had lots of time to explore. I am so grateful for my the hostel family!! Thank you for having me :)
