U inn Berlin Hostel

We are an ex-hostel and people all ages and color live with us now on a permanent basis. With our 30 beds we are located in one of the top hip areas of Berlin and you can find Bars, Coffee places and Clubs as well as yoga centers and health food and all kind of restaurants just around the corner. Some people living here, need help and your main job is to ensure security, quietness and cleanness in the house during your hours.

Of course we treat everyone in the house with respect. Our staff is very friendly but of course also the job needs to get done. We have no respect for wanting to have extra and special treatments than everyone else. We are all in one house and in order to work out, everyone must do their part.

Disappointing experience. The project presents itself as social, but feels impersonal. Volunteers are treated like cleaning staff, working over 50h/week with no real space for dialogue, yet we are also the ones living with the residents, supporting them emotionally, resolving tensions, and navigating delicate interpersonal dynamics. There's a lack of communication and presence from the host. What gave true meaning to my stay were the connections with residents and the hired team members at the reception. This place has potential but it needs to value people over profit to truly make an impact.

The hosts are kind and flexible, and the atmosphere with guests is also friendly. While there may be issues that need resolving, they are usually straightforward. While the hours are long, the tasks are simple and easy. For me, it was a good experience.

Pablo, we are really happy about you volunteering with us. I mean, during you long hours, which you mentioned, you can sleep. ;-) So they are not really long we believe...but we love your way with the people, your handy man skills and would 100% recommend you :-) Thanks Pablo!

The managers and everyone were super nice, and it was pretty flexible that if I needed a day off it could be arranged. The hostel is in a great area and it was a good opportunity to improve my German. The work isn’t that difficult and the accommodation was also ok. However, the hours are a lot more than they say, for example, a weekend usually includes at least a 24 hour shift. You aren’t necessarily working the whole time but you aren’t able to leave during your shift.

Dear kaya! We loved to have you as a volunteer!! Thank you for your commitment and lovely nature :-) Just for clarification: the weekend shift goes from 3pm until 8am . You don´t really have to work during those hours, you can even sleep and stay in your room. So you basically just have to be there in case for an emergency...We believe, there are much harder volunteer positions out there ;-)

The experience had its challenges. On the positive side, the location is good and it was the only available volunteer position in Berlin at the time. Communication was unclear from the start, leading to misunderstandings. A clearer explanation of tasks and more support during unforeseen situations would have helped. Security is limited, as access is granted via a shared code. They decided to end the arrangement after I missed some shifts due to illness, without prior communication to seek solutions.
