I had a very great time in the hostel. I could have the opportunity to meet lovey people and work in a very good environment. The schedule its very good, breakfast 7am-1pm or housekeeping 10am-4pm. Its also very flexible because i could travel around and go to Highlands which was my dream to go. I only worked 3 days per week so all good. Thanks for the opportunity and i am really looking being here again.

I had a great experience at the hostel! It was my first volunteering and I couldn't wish for a better one. The hostel is very well located and the working hours are perfect, so that you can enjoy Edinburgh as much as you like. The assignments were simple and easy to learn. There was a delicious breakfast provided every day and the accommodations were cozy and clean. The managers are very friendly, attentive and flexible. I highly recommend it! :)

My stay in the hostel was amazing! I really enjoyed this volunteering because I could feel that I was a volunteer and not a worker. We help the staff and the hours are very fair and they are flexible and we need to change anything. I spent most of my time exploring the hostel Scotland and it was awesome!!! Love it and recommend for sure

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I could not have asked for a better place! The staff and other volunteers were so lovely and welcoming. The nightly events at the bar were a great way to get to know people and spend time with the other volunteers. The working hours were very flexible, with several days off, allowing you to explore Edi. A great experience overall :)

From the get-go, all of the staff including managers and other workers were all so friendly and welcoming. I was lucky enough to bartend as my volunteer position, and as having no experience bartending, I've never felt more comfortable learning something new. I wish I could've met more worldpacker volunteers, as my coworkers were all locals and fulltime staff. However this did not take away how kind and welcoming they all were.
