I spent six unforgettable weeks there, surrounded by amazing people and breathtaking landscapes. The atmosphere at the hostel is warm and welcoming—I felt part of a little family from the very beginning. La Spezia is the perfect spot for travelers who enjoy hiking, with plenty of incredible trails and sea views, especially around Cinque Terre. And after a long day outdoors, you can enjoy delicious local food—totally worth it! I truly recommend this volunteer opportunity to anyone who wants to connect with people from all over the world, explore nature, and enjoy good food :D

I stayed 6 weeks and enjoyed the hostel's fantastic location, and the chance to meet wonderful guests, staff, and fellow volunteers. The working hours were fair and gave me plenty of time to travel and explore. However, working with the owner, Giulia, was challenging. She often seemed stressed, which created tension for me. Sometimes communication was unclear and volunteers' needs were not prioritized. Meals promised as free on the evening shift were charged, and having limited supplies in the apartment was not nice. Still, I'm grateful for the opportunity and for all the people I met.

Thank you for your feedback. Everyone’s suggestions are valuable and help us improve.I’d like to clarify that, as mentioned during the video call, the volunteer on shift is entitled to a free dinner if there are guests signed up for the event. Volunteers not on shift are welcome to join at a 50% discounted rate.Regarding pizza nights, I also explained that if a discount is available, it can be used for the volunteer on shift, though it’s not always guaranteed. I hope this is now clearer

The location is beautiful, but the living accomodations for volunteers is below average especially when compared to the hostel. Being on the top floor without AC in the summer was unbearable at times and made it difficult to reside in the apartment. It was also dirty when I arrived as it isn't cleaned between volunteers. Next year, the volunteer may stay in the hostel which should be better. The hours are good, and you have time off to explore. The cleaning shift was more work than I expected as one volunteer is expected to clean the entire hostel when the housekeeper is off.

Thanks for your feedback. The staff accommodation was explained beforehand and is quite basic, which is common for many Italian houses without air conditioning.
After being reported the house was not well kept by the previous volunteers, we’ve put clearer rules in place, hoping it will be taken more care of.
Regarding the hostel cleaning, it’s part of the volunteer role and was explained during the video call. The receptionist also helps as much as possible during that shift.

More than a hostel, it felt like home. I couldn't have asked for more: surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, getting to know people from all around the world, located in the city center... but most importantly, working side to side with amazing and lovely people that I already miss and I just left. Thanks for making this volunteering experience so special!

My month in this little corner of Italy was a dream, the vibes of the hotel are that of a small home in the middle of a postcard landscape. The tasks were simple and leave you enough time to live your own adventure in the beautiful little towns that surround the area, the social part is greatly enjoyed if you are someone who loves meeting people from the most remote places in the world, the cultural exchange and being nourished by multiple languages ​​is what I take away the most from this place. Another of the great points in favor of this volunteering is the team at the hostel who will alway

My six weeks at the hostel were absolutely wonderful. The team is so sweet and fun to be around. The tasks are straight forward and clearly explained. You will meet a bunch of travellers from around the world and have the opportunity to share your experiences and make new ones together. There are plenty of things to do in and around La Spezia. Even on working days, going to the beach is possible. The landscapes are beautiful to see and the food is amazing. It was a summer well spent and I am thankful to have been a part of the hostel team and to have gotten to know all of you. <3

Não poderia ter iniciado minha experiência com voluntariado de uma forma melhor! o hostel oferece uma atmosfera aberta para vc conhecer pessoas incríveis. Cada membro do staff é único,tornando essa experiência tão especial 🩵 As tarefas foram explicadas com clareza e os horários e funções seguidos devidamente. A estrutura do hostel é excelente e o apto para os voluntários também era ótimo. Os arredores de La Spezia está definitivamente entre os lugares mais bonitos por onde eu já passei. É o lugar perfeito para desconectar um pouco e se aventurar nas praias e trilhas da região.

There are many opportunities you can choose from here. But I feel like I picked a four-leaf clover with the hostel. Giulia is not only an amazing person, but an incredibly fair leader and a great communicator. She has created a unique space and it shows. I was told by multiple people that it is the best hostel they've ever stayed at. La Spezia itself is charming and well connected to the rest of Liguria by train, making it incredibly easy to explore in your free time. I wish I had more space to write. Thank you for this unforgettable experience! w/ Love from SF - Chandler

Since the beggining I felt welcomed by the staff and the other volunteers like no other place, I truly felt embraced and part of something bigger. The hostel has this cosy yet vibrant dynamic, where you're able to interact and connect with guests and staff. The social part of the hostel really stands out. The organization and the cleanliness are also something worth mentioning. About the volunteer experience: the tasks were very well explained and they were respected by everyone in the hostel. You are definitely not going to be bored!
