Although the workload was sometimes heavy and I had to speak directly with the manager to set some boundaries, I met people with truly beautiful hearts. I found interesting workliving with volunteers from all kinds of backgrounds and ages. They taught me how to stop being such a grandma! I even left with my first tattoo♥️ Michael o' leary will be proud of this company and that is a shame! So l wish all the good workers the best. Bon courage, guys! 💪 Today, I can say that I have a house and a job in CPH thanks to those who encouraged and help me during my stay🥰 Thank you, Irayda

Great things about the hostel: The schedule is very well respected (sometimes you can even finish earlier). The group of volunteers I was with was amazing. The hotel staff are super friendly and fun—they help you with everything. And you have a lot of free time to explore the city. Negative/room-for-improvement things: Volunteers work just as much as the paid staff (sometimes even more). The people in charge don't seem to value that help at all. They can be quite stingy—e.g., they don't restock food or refuse to clean the volunteers' room. The kitchen available is too small and always dirty.

I had an amazing Time there! I met great people and as first volunteering that was great ! But it's not a hostel, that is a hotel with shared bedrooms, so the vibe is different. Also, it's little bit far from the city center but transportations are great so that was okay! Amalia has a special vibe but the rest of the staff is great, I loved them ! you can also ask to change your shift if needed, and the tasks are not that hard. Beautiful experience, I'll never forget it ! ❤️

I really had a great time in Copenhagen, mostly of the friends I met there. I felt really lucky for my roomates. I felt like the hostel was dirty and at first they didn't allow the cleaning staff to clean the volunteers' room. Also sometimes I felt like as volunteers we were working more than we should. The schedule was respected and flexible, so that was nice. Another thing I didn't appreciate is that the manager didn't allow the buffet to be restocked for the staff and volunteers. She was very stingy. Finally i want to thank Modrick and Daniel for being so helpful

My second time here and sadly it has not improved. The environment is NOT welcoming at all. The host hotel manager (Amailia) sadly does not care/has any interest in the volunteer group. Karin is a sweet heart but even she cant keep the experience positive enough to enjoy ( she's not a manager just a full time employee ) No proper training, you get thrown and learn on your own through trail and error.Most staff does not have time or patience to teach ( the managers should doing it! ) World packers shouldnt be treated as actual workers but support help. They dont deserve the WP program at all

Overall it was a good experience. Karin is very nice and always willing to do shift changes if you need particular days off. The room is big and has two bathrooms. I got along very well with the volunteers and I really had a good time. For half of my stay we also had free dinner, which is definitely a plus. The work itself isn't difficult, but often we were asked to clean things that I don't think it was our duty to clean, such as the floor with the sponge or the trash cans and the walls around on all floors. In spite of this the workers are very nice.

My stay in the hostel was very pleasant. The tasks and amount of work hours can make it feel like a job, however, I met amazing people that made my experience much better :) Would overall recommend it!

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I had a great time volunteering at the hostel. The work felt more like a job, but it was manageable - the tasks were general and easy to learn. The staff was very friendly and helpful; you could always ask for assistance. Our room was comfortable, though not always clean. The schedule was fair, with reasonable hours and respected time off, leaving plenty of time to explore the city. Other volunteers were nice and welcoming. We also had dinners for most of my stay, which was a great bonus. Overall, I'd recommend this place!

For my first Worldpackers, it was a good experience. Work rotates between the kitchen and reception. It's fairly standard but sometimes demanding tasks, plus a few odd cleaning jobs! Most staff were friendly, took the time to get to know me, and offered support during shifts (shoutout to Raquel and Larisa!). With 7 volunteers during my stay, making friends and exploring Copenhagen on days off was easy. Karin managed the schedule well, allowing flexibility if I needed specific days off or if we wanted to plan activities together. Our room was comfortable, though housekeeping could be better.

The hostel is a Hotel that have shared dorms, but isnt a hostel. Guests are families, workers.. Some staff were very helpful, other not much. I guess they also don't get a proper training, so they don't know how to deal with volunteers.My advice is to have a person to welcome the volunteers and explain the main stuff. I got lucky, my first shift was w/ other volunteer who walked me through the tasks. For me this should be about meeting new people/culture but sometimes I felt like a worker who was there to do what they dont like. Accommodation is nice. Mudrike and Jirka were great! Any doubts msg me
