I had so much fun at the hostel, the work was really chill, and Tahsin is one of the nicest people I've ever met. It was such a good experience to stay here and I'm super sad that it's over now, I already miss Istanbul. And thank you to Shems for making everything so much easier for me.

It was a wonderful experience. The hostel is simple, but its location and, above all, the warm hospitality make it a truly welcoming place. I was very happy to spend these days there and be part of the team for a while. Thank you so much for everything!

This experience was awesome! Tashin is so kind and welcoming, always making sure everything is alright, and his cooking is amazing. The task is pretty much just reception for 5 hours per day, 6 days per week, showing people their room and such. It was very easy and you have so much time to explore beautiful Istanbul. Would highly recommend!

My experience as a volunteer at the hostel has been very good. I met people from many different places, and Tahsin is very kind, patient, and welcoming. The volunteer work has flexible hours and is not hard, so it is easy to enjoy free time as well. The hostel is in a great location to explore Istanbul. The place is cozy and has a terrace with a beautiful view of the hostel Tower, which makes the experience even better :)

It is a great place to connect with the people staying at the hostel; there is a real sense of intimacy. The schedule is convenient, and you aren't required to do anything outside of your allotted time. Tashin is kind and very welcoming—I always felt right at home—and they have a terrace with a view of the Bosphorus

This was my first volunteering experience and it truly exceeded my expectations. the hostel made me feel safe, welcomed, and at home. Tahsin, the manager, was incredibly kind and supportive, and quickly became a true friend in Istanbul. Idris and Shems were also wonderful and created a warm family atmosphere. We shared dinners, cultures, and unforgettable moments with other volunteers and guests. I'm deeply grateful for this experience. Thank you, Worldpackers, for making this journey possible.
