O hostel é confortável e bem localizado. É muito fácil se locomover pela cidade, principalmente de bicicleta. Não é uma cidade com muitos atrativos turísticos, mas tem muitos bares e clubes pra quem gosta desse tipo de programação. Achei a divisão de turnos não muito justa, mas conversei com o Joep e ele se mostrou aberto a encontrar uma solução. O gerente Erick foi muito atencioso, se preocupou comigo quando eu estava doente, e estava sempre disposto a tentar nos ajudar. A equipe de voluntários fez toda a diferença na minha experiência. Obrigada a todos!

Positive . The city's a real charm, I loved it. There's a good train station and several bus lines . The hostel's atmosphere was nice . The owner let my girlfriend and me stay, most of the time, in a private room, and it was good to practice English with him. He was flexible with the work schedule Negative . The work, especially during the weekends, was tiring and stressful . There weren't any real employees and the owner only showed himself up for a few hours during the week and he was rarely present on the weekends. Therefore, the hostel was managed by the volunteers

Hello Rafael,

I am sorry to hear again that you found it stressfull. As I said in my conversations to you I am taking the feedback on board and we are doing the same amount of work now with double the people, so it is all a lot less demanding.

I do not think your observations about the management and my hours are very accurate. But like we discussed I am looking for someone to assist over the weekends.

All the best!

Joep

Olá! Essa foi minha primeira experiência com voluntariado, fui com meu companheiro. Trabalhava 4 dias por semana, 6 horas. Um breve resumo da minha estadia: Os horarios são bem flexiveis de trabalho, o hostel é bem confortavel, tivemos um quarto privado. porém há alguns problemas: Há camundongos, mesmo Joep lutando para eliminar eles estavam presentes no dia a dia, nos dias de descansos se você ficar no hostel vai trabalhar. Não tem funcionarios, os voluntários são os responsaveis por tudo que acontece, o hostel é desorganizado, o trabalho é pesado e cansativo principalmente final de semana.

Hello Fernanda,

I am sorry to hear you feel this way. I did take some of your feedback on board already, but let me respond to what you said.

We did have some mice, but we also have an extermination company working to eradicate them and prevent them coming back. I am happy to report we have seen no activity from them in the last week.

I do not recognize that you should work outside of your work hours. Howeever, I do think the work was more heavy than anticipated and as we spoke I tried to make it better for the future. So now we do the same amount of work with more people, so it is way less demanding.

About organisation; you got there when we had just opened up so it was hectic for sure. Things are being improved on a daily basis.

My time in the hostel was just amazing!! We had a room with 3 beds for the staff and in the beginning it was just for girls, that was really nice. there is an area outside that we always spend hours talking and chilling. The work is easy and sometimes the time of ur shift change a little bit but they always told us before so we could plan our day. Elfie is the manager and she is the one that we had more contact, she is sweet and honest about what they expect from you and the rules of the job. And Jamie's food is amazing, I recommend this place 100%. I could travel a lot when I was there( :

I had a great time at the hostel, I felt so welcomed when I came here, even if I was a bit scared because it was my first tome traveling alone, my fear was gone after 5 minutes I arrived! The work is great and you still have enough time doing something else or exploring other cities. Jamie's food always made my day better and it felt like a little family when we met for dinner and ate together. Nijmegen as itself is a funny student city, with the whole going out experience but also a lot of beautiful nature. I met the best people here and I would wish coming back soon!

Estou viajando com minha esposa e foi nosso primeiro voluntariado. A experiência foi incrível, só tenho a agradecer a equipe e os voluntários do hostel e do restaurante. Aprendi muito com eles, são pessoas incríveis. Para mim Nijmegen seria a cidade que gostaria de morar, com parques maravilhosos, pessoas super educadas, e sem falar na qualidade de vida que eles tem. Minha função foi ajudar a construir um quarto novo que estavam fazendo, adorei, pois no Brasil já trabalhava com isso. Se fosse para falar tudo, iria faltar caracteres. Então muito obrigado ao anfitrião Joep pela oportunidade.

My experience at the hostel was great! Nijmegen is a wonderful place: beautiful, safe, full of parks and festivals, perfect to ride a bike. You can get anywhere in the city or visit others by bike. I wish I could live there forever! The other volunteers were fantastic. I loved to spend time talking to them. Joep, our host, was very nice. He is calm, friendly and easygoing. He allows the environment of the hostel be relaxed, he makes we feel comfortable there and gives us a lot of freedom. I am grateful for the time I spent there. I miss already. These were special days.

Nijmegen it is a perfect place if you are interesting to visit the surrounding of here. The hostel is located 10 minutes from the train station and 2 minutes from the center. You have everything very close like river, parks, shopping, bar or restaurant. So, you can be volunteering and you always can make some extra activities. Joep, is a great host and the hours of work are easy. Your duties here can be reception, clean the hostel, clean the restaurant and help in the bar/kitchen. The daily dinner( Wednesday- Sunday) was always lekker, Dankjewel Jemie. The staff was super, thanks Elfi too.
