The hostel was the best experience of my life I truly had the best time with the best people I made friends for life there and met so many people I can truly call brothers and sisters I would honestly recommend this to anyone wanting to get themselves out there

As my first volunteering experience, the hostel was amazing! I've made friends for life, and I already want to go back. The managers and other volunteers put a lot of effort into making the hostel welcoming, inclusive and fun for everyone, and everybody who walks through the hostel doors immediately feels it. Volunteering tasks were clear and well organised with a spreadsheet and check list, and managers are approachable and quick to help out. The only downside was that I had to go home! I'm already planning my next trip back <3

If you're looking for a place with tons of parties but also some responsibilities, the hostel is the place. You'll feel like family, and the fun never stops. It's true that it can be tiring (because it really is a the hostel from Monday to Monday), but the experience is totally worth it.

I had a really fun time at the hostel. I did laundry tasks, tours of the hostel and lead activities and pub crawls. I also worked behind the hostel bar which I really enjoyed. If you want to lead certain activities, or take different shifts, the managers are really flexible. The biweekly 9am meetings are a bit jarring 🫠 but the staff and other volunteers are really fun and make the entire experience. The courtyard makes the hostel really social, and allows guests and volunteers to get to know each other. Will miss being here and recommend for any one who wants to the hostel a lot.
