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 highly recommend everyone to go to this hostel! The activities are so much fun, we have morning or night shifts, with the hostel trips, karaoke or sports tournaments. They send the schedule in advance, so we can organize our days off. Everyone in the staff -reception and bar- are so nice and helpful. You get to talk with locals and guests, I've learned so much here!! I talked with so many people and explore new places. Thank you so much!! I would definitely come backk :)

Joana and the rest of staff at the hostel were truly amazing, I would recommend this experience anyone looking to explore northern Italy and meet the best people along the way. The hours and tasks were respected and honestly super easy and fun. I did not feel like I was working 3/4 of the time! For me, the social aspect held the most enjoyment. I met so many amazing international travelers that had such a lastly impact on my trip. You can always find someone to explore with!

Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing summer experience and my 4th time with the the hostel chain. We worked 25 hours a week in 3 volunteers, leading city tours, the hostel activities, and social events like karaoke, beer pong, and trivia nights. The schedule was well organized, and the hostel provided excellent perks, including accommodation, meals, drinks, breakfast, and laundry. The beautiful patio and garden created a great atmosphere; the best part was the friendly and supportive staff, who made me feel welcome and part of the family from day one. Grazie!!

My experience at the hostel was amazing! The working hours were respected and also it was super fun! They have a bar and there i met many locals. Como itself is so beautiful and you can also go on hikes in your free time or eat plenty of pasta and pizza. If you look for something to have a italian cultural experience, this is the right place! The hostel and the staff are amazing! I felt very comfortable here. Thank you so much! :))
