This was a great experience! The hostel was really welcoming and quickly felt like a second home. The host was always kind and helpful, and I met so many amazing people from all over the world. The work was simple and easy to manage, and I really enjoyed being part of the hostel and its daily life. It's a great place to meet international people and enjoy Riga, also thanks to its perfect location right in the city centre. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my first volunteering experience :)

I highly recommend this experience. The host is very kind, friendly and very easy going. You just need a bit and you're feeling like home already. The proposed working hours met effectively and offers great flexibility and free time to explore the city. The place is in a great location, old town, bars, restaurants and the beautiful main park all surrounding it. And I met people will be forever in my heart. Hope to see everyone soon 💙

It was a good experience; it was a place where I felt at ease the whole time. They're flexible and stick to what's described in the advert.
