I loved everything about my time in Istanbul. It's an incredible city and an incredible volunteer opportunity! The staff and other volunteers are so so kind, the hostel is amazing and the neighborhood it's in is beautiful, with a thriving community you are welcomed into instantly. There is no shortage of things to do and your working hours are fair and respected. Volunteers have either private rooms or share with one other volunteer, and the facilities are always clean and well kept. I have never loved somewhere so much, I never wanted to leave! Forever grateful for the hostel team 💘💘

Wonderful experience! As a social hostel, you will never get bored since you can interact with other volunteers, staff members or guests, but at the same time there are areas of the hostel and moments of the days where you can chill and take some time to stay alone. Tasks are easy and time is respected; moreover, the hostel is set in a great location. I spent a funny month and I will miss everybody.

The hostel was incredible, I couldn't have asked for a better first-worldpacker experience!! The hours/work are as described and the managing staff is incredibly kind and fun. Moreover, the hostel is an important part of the local community, and you get to meet so many incredible people while working there. It is a very open, social, and creative environment. I miss it already! the hostel became my home away from home and I would highly recommend it!

I had the BEST time volunteering at the hostel! Burak and all the staff are not just amazing at their jobs—they're also your besties. It's like working with a group of friends who genuinely care about making the hostel a great place for everyone. There's always something happening, whether it's a fun event, a group outing, or just chilling with people from all over the world. I felt super creatively inspired in Kadikoy too, so I would definitely recommend if that's your thing! I kept extending my stay lol, Istanbul is like home and I'm forever grateful :333
