I had such a wonderful stay at Ostello Bello Lake Como! The tasks were relatively easy and half the time it didn't even feel like we were working. It was such a special experience getting to live by the hostel, meet so many great travellers and befriend some of the lovely locals! The staff at the hostel were super welcoming and always helpful. I had such a blast and am so grateful for all the experiences I had during my time here :))!

This smaller beautiful hostel in Como has a special place in my heart. I would recommend it for people who seek a smaller community filled with both travellers and locals — the perfect combination.

The hostel was honestly the best choice I could have made for my first volunteering experience. The best part is definitely the staff. I genuinely loved spending time with them, and I made some great friends here. They are so welcoming that I felt at home very quickly. The work is easy to learn and the routine is very manageable, so you have plenty of time to enjoy Como. I also loved how easy it was to meet locals and spend time with them through the hostel. I'm really grateful for my time here!

I couldn't have picked a better place for my first volunteering experience. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and understanding, and I had an amazing time working alongside them. The work itself is quite simple and mainly focuses on interacting with guests, which gives you the chance to meet and talk to a lot of people. I had the best time at this hostel and genuinely enjoyed every second of my stay. I'm so grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for fun place to volunteer!

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! The staff were so lovely, and I got to meet both locals and travellers from all over the world. The work was relaxed and easy, mostly clearing glasses and running the day or night activities. A really fun, social experience that I'd definitely recommend!
