I wanted to express how much I enjoyed my experience and time spent here. The owners have been incredibly kind and always open to discussing and resolving any questions or concerns. It was truly rewarding to work for them and to contribute to building the volunteer house. I feel like I have left a piece of myself in this place, and I would love to return someday if the opportunity arises. Thank you for everything, it has been an unforgettable experience.

This was my first time as a solo traveler and first volunteering experience! It was just the thing I needed to get out of my comfort zone and forget about my problems! Naoko and Robin are really nice and caring hosts, they helped with everything we needed as volunteers. The working hours are really flexible and not demanding, if there was any problem you could talk with Naoko to try and solve it! Tromsø is really a magical city, it has everything you could want, nature, mountains, beaches, late night party and more… And the best boy BURGER, lovely dog <3 Thank you for everything!!

Volunteering at Tromsø Activities for almost a month was a fantastic experience. The hostel is a cozy and lively place for people from around the world to meet and share good times, in the city center, which has a very special magic. Burger is the nicest and loveliest dog, and I was lucky to coincide with a big group of volunteers, with whom we made a great team and strong friendship. Robin and Naoko are so welcoming and flexible, always considering everyone's needs and preferences when organizing tasks, which are very diverse and dynamic. Thank you for everything, I definitely recommend it!💛

The best experience I've had so far as a volunteer. The hostel is in the city center, and everything you need is nearby. Robin and Naoko are amazing people and very flexible with everything. The tasks are super easy and clear to do. Most of the day is free to enjoy the city and its incredible surrounding nature. There's a very nice vibe. I felt very comfortable with the rest of the staff. I recommend it 100%.
