Help us at our hostel in incredible Italy

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 had a good time in this place with the team and guests!Everything was like the way it was told in the interview with Giulia.Nothing more or less so you can trust her word.She's an understanding person and tries to make the best shift balance for everyone in the team so you can have enough time to discover area and surroundings.You can go to hikes or spend a day at the beach even between your shifts or take day trips to Florence, Pisa, Genova etc.Only downside was the volunteer house for me it was functioning but kinda old but I think new volunteers won't stay in there so it's all good.

I had a great experience volunteering in La Spezia for a month. Giulia, the host, was very kind, polite, and flexible she is always willing to adapt to any unexpected changes or personal plans I had. She cares about making sure you feel comfortable. The accommodation was a small shared apartment, but more than enough for a few weeks or a month. The reception staff were super friendly and fun, and they really helped make the stay enjoyable. I felt completely at home. Thank you for welcoming me so warmly!

I had an excellent experience overall. The team was welcoming and respectful, with great events like Pizza Nights, Saturday Spitz, and evening "aperitivos" that encouraged connection of volunteers and travelers. Free time and days off allowed plenty of travel, the region is beautiful and it has a lot to discover. The Hostel is clean, organized, and I only had good feedbacks from the guests. The only downside was the off-site apartment—volunteer-managed, not always clean, and with old, stained linens. Still, I met amazing people, explored new places, ate well, and had lots of fun.

I had a great time volunteering in the hostel. The team is great, welcoming and friendly and the tasks were very manageable and easy. Giulia is planning the shifts very well so there is plenty of free time to enjoy and to explore the beautiful surrounding areas and Cinque Terre. Having other volunteers there at the same time also made the experience fun and enjoyable. Definitely recommend!

I had an excellent time volunteering at the hostel. The staff we're excellent, super friendly, social and welcoming. I was very fortunate as well to have two other volunteers to travel and explore with which made the experience all the better. The shifts were really reasonable and allowed you plenty of freedom to do activities during the day, even on days which you were working. During my volunteering, a family member came to visit me and Giulia kindly rearranged the shift to allow me to have time to spend them. Overall, it was a really fun and rewarding experience.

Very good environment, friendly team and prepare to live in community… is important to be considerate of the space you share… staff super helpful, workload is nice and the city is so beautiful and small… I learned Italian but there is a lot of English speakers in the city in general so not a problem when I couldn't communicate in Italian… would definitely come back and recommend.

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
