My time at the hostel was super special, I got to experience a new culture and was supported by the local staff the whole time. Everyone I worked with at the hostel were incredibly special, interesting, kind, and hardworking. The work-life balance was the best I've had in a volunteering experience thus far. The only heads-up I would give about volunteering is that the accommodation is a bed in the guest dorm, and you may have to move beds multiple times based on bookings and availability, so some flexibility is required in that department.

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel. You get to meet many likeminded travellers, and the working hours were always respected. The staff were wonderful and I developed close relationships with the wonderful women in the kitchen. The accomodation is comfortable and clean, and there's plenty of time to explore the city, as well as events put on by the hostel that you can join. Thank you the hostel! 🍻

It was the most fun volunteering experience so far. I made friends that I will keep for life, I went to lots of parties and there was no shortage of good food and fun. Working at the bar was great for me because I want to improve my English, and at the bar I practice all the time. Everyone who works at the hostel is attentive, super friendly and helpful, and the work in general is easy. Thanks the hostel ❤️

I left a little earlier and at the last minute due to personal reasons. I stayed there for 3 weeks, the breakfast is delicious and varied. The kitchen girls are lovely, and the staff really care about you and make sure you're doing well. Although it’s a good place, very active and close to tourist spots, I think it’s not a volunteer experience for everyone, in my case, I prefer a quieter place to work. But overall, the volunteering is good: the tasks are simple. I recommend it more for someone who doesn’t work online and wants to be in a more social, party-oriented environment. Thank you ❤️

My first volunteering experience — and honestly life-changing! the hostel is such a social hostel, with amazing family dinners that made it super easy to meet people. The staff felt like family, and even though we had a small misunderstanding in the first week, we solved it quickly and everything after was perfect. I helped in the kitchen with two wonderful Turkish girls ❤️ Communication was fun since they spoke Russian!
It was also my first time in Istanbul, and after a month I completely fell in love with the city. Definitely recommend both the hostel and the experience!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
