Hostel & Bar De Basis

We’re a very relaxed and laidback hostel (not a party hostel). Everything is clean and neat. We have a cozy bar/restaurant on the first floor.

We have an amazing staff already! At De Basis and Bennies (the restaurant) work about 30-40 people. You’ll get a discount at the bar for your drinks, join us for parties now and then. We treat each other with respect and we’re one big family :) We welcome travelers and volunteers who are here for an unforgettable experience, socialising with others, learning new things and are eager to explore new places around the Netherlands. Unfortunately we don't look for volunteers who have a job at the same time as they are volunteering.

Unfortunately, my volunteering experience at BENNIES Hostel was deeply affected by unfair management practices, lack of accountability, and serious issues around respect and safety.
One of the main problems was the behavior of management/supervision. On multiple occasions, the supervisor entered the volunteers’ room without proper consideration and took photos of personal spaces, sometimes while volunteers were asleep after working night shifts. These photos were then posted in the main hostel WhatsApp group. Meanwhile other volunteers just left during their nightshift to party, haha.

Hi Mika, we had a private meeting to evaluate your time here at De Basis, giving you an opportunity to raise any issues with us in person, but we haven't heard about these problems until now.
In terms of the room inspections, prior notice was always given through a WhatsApp message indicating what time the receptionist was going to check the room, and photos were never taken of volunteers sleeping but only of the messes that needed to be cleaned.
This 1 star review feels quite unreasonable.

I had a great time in Zwolle. The Host and the people in general were so lovely. The tasks were as agreed on. The provided food was amazing. Zwolle in general is a very small but lovely city. Especially the nightlife is quite fun.
Gonna miss everyone and can’t wait to be back. Would definitely recommend it!

Our stay at Bennies and de Basis was great! We met a lot of new people within our short stay. The work was always as agreed, most days even less and especially the breakfast was very good! Everyone around was nice and helpful. When we wanted to change shifts or our day to leave it was never in problem. All in all we had a good, but sadly short time and would love to come back one day!💛

Hostel de Basis became another kind of family during my stay here. Everyone is so kind, the work is well organized and easy to understand, and the friends I have made along the way are just an added bonus. Zwolle is a great city if you are looking for something young, international, student friendly. It’s not too small a city or to large, and serves as a great central point to travel from on your days off. I will be coming back:)
