I loooooooved this volunteering experience! Everyone from the team is always ready and willing to help you teaching the job you're assigned to. The working environment is amazing and low pressure, making the job even more enjoyable. The volunteering accommodation has a huge common area, with all the utilities that one would need (and even more!). Lastly, the atmosphere that the staff and other volunteers create makes you wish to never leave the place. Would have definitely wanted to stay longer, if I could! Thank you everyone <3

Absolutely amazing time working at the hostel! Made lifelong friends with other volunteers and guests at the hostel :) The main aspect of the work here is engaging with guests and encouraging them to join hostel events. Perfect for anyone who is the hostel and wants to meet a tonne of new people! Everyone at the hostel is wonderful and I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to join a hostel family and have fun :)

This was my first volunteering experience and it truly exceeded my expectations. I extended my stay after just a couple of days. I really liked the job itself, the tasks at the reception were easy but enjoyable. You get a bed in a shared dorm with the other volunteers in a staff house, which had all the facilities you need. Everyone's friendly and I'll definitely come back if I get the chance. Thanks for an amazing stay 💜
