I am very grateful for the two months I spent at Kinlay Hostel. I met a variety of interesting people, and my English definitely improved during this time. The workload is fair, and sometimes—if the job is done as required—shifts can even finish ahead of schedule. The managers and supervisors are demanding yet understanding, fostering a work environment that is both professional and flexible. In addition to spacious common areas for enjoying free time, the hostel boasts an excellent location in the city center, right next to transport links for exploring beautiful Ireland. I couldn't be happy!

Volunteering at the hostel was truly an amazing experience. The staff and other volunteers were extremely welcoming, and I felt quickly at home.
The hours were like described, and the work was fair and as expected. It was very easy to explore the rest of Ireland during your time off!
I would recommend this experience to anyone that wants to immerse themselves in the charming city of Galway with a group of amazing volunteers that you will cherish forever!

Had the most amazing time at Kinlay. Big shoutout to Aisling who is an absolute gem of a coordinator. She made sure we were felt at ease at the hostel and made herself available whenever we had questions, requests or feedback. She was upfront and transparent about the workload expected of us ( maybe a bit more than most volunteering experiences), but it was all very manageable, straightforward and it was a pleasure to work with the amazing staff there. Galway is stunning, ideal to experience local life and it's ideally located if you want to explore more of Ireland. Couldn't have been happier!

The hostel was a fantastic place to volunteer during my time in Ireland. The work and expectations are clear and the staff are so lovely. The other volunteers were also amazing and the two months there allowed me to connect with locals and explore other parts of Ireland. The facilities are also top-notch! Highly recommend this volunteer experience!!

As mentioned by past volunteers in other reviews, the work is a little bit more than I have experienced in other volunteering, but the tasks are simple. Aisling is very flexible with scheduling, which was really helpful. Reception staff are also very supportive and the facilities are very clean and nice. Galway is also super fun and you will meet amazing volunteers and locals!
