I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to truly connect with the hostel's culture and meet new people from all over the world. A special mention goes to Eloise, our coordinator, who has always been attentive to the volunteers' needs, a great listener, and very flexible when it comes to organizing schedules. My time here has been incredible. It's honestly one of the best experiences I've had during my Working Holiday in Canada. I've had so much fun, met amazing people and created wonderful memories. I can only say good things about this experience!

I had an amazing time at the hostel! Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive, including the hosts, volunteers, staff, and guests. I especially loved hosting walking tours around Old the hostel and socializing during the Wednesday community dinners. The atmosphere always felt warm and full of positive energy. A special thank you to our manager Eloise, who was fantastic, approachable, and always receptive to feedback and new ideas. the hostel gave me unforgettable memories, great friendships, and an experience I will always cherish!
