I had a great time volunteering at the hostel in Namibia. I met amazing people, made good friends, and had a lot of fun during my stay. The quiz nights were always a highlight and a great way to connect with other travelers. As a social media volunteer, I created videos and content for the hostel while also exploring the area. Volunteers don't have direct access to the hostel's Instagram, so the content is uploaded to shared files for the team to post later. The hostel is great, with a nice pool, delicious meals, and very friendly staff. Thanks for the experience!

The hostel is really a 10/10 hostel. It's a great first time solo travel. the staff(Memory, Festus, Sam, Giandro, Sophia, Coco) are literally all amazing people. the hostel isn't just a the hostel it's really a place where people feel at home. During my time I made so many new friends, had amazing experiences and made so many memories. I got breakfast every morning aswell as dinner 4 times a week(potjie, braai) it slapped btw. I got to travel to Swakop for a weekend on my own costs but a must do! Thanks so much for the experience, Jackie and the team. Lots of Love

A perfect place to volunteer in Namibia. Jackie, the owner, and the rest of the team are amazing people, including Asme, whom I didn't get to meet in person. the hostel is a place where you truly find kindness and positivity. I highly recommend it, whether you're looking to volunteer or book your stay.😊😊😊

My time at the hostel was very good… the team is amazing, can't even say how much they helped me. I had a short stay, but enough to enjoy my time there. The hostel is the one to be in Windhoek, so definitely recommend volunteering here to anyone. Braai night is the best!!!
