I had the best time at De Basis and can really recommend going there! It was my first volunteering experience and for that there couldn't have been a better place! I got to know so many kind new people. The hours were exactly as communicated and the tasks were more than alright! I had a really great time in Zwolle! ☺️

I absolutely loved my stay! Everyone at both the hostel and Bennies was amazing, welcoming, and always willing to help. I really appreciated how spacious the volunteer room was, and the food at Bennies was delicious. Whenever I had any problems or needed help with something, they always did their best to find a solution and make sure I was okay. I'm truly grateful for all their support and kindness. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone considering volunteering or staying there. Thank you all for making my stay so special! ❤️

I had the most wonderful stay here in September!! From day one, the staff and the other volunteers made me feel so welcome and appreciated.
I worked the night shifts, and I would say that the tasks were quite easy to complete. If I had any questions, there was always someone ready to help me.
My experience in Zwolle has also been great. There is always something going on in the city, so you do not have to travel far to immerse yourself in the culture.
The overall atmosphere and the people I met here were genuinely amazing, so I would definitely recommend this opportunity to others!!
