What should I say, my experience at the hostel was beyond incredible. I didn't meet a single staff member that wasn't absolutely lovely, caring and kind. Even though I was "just" a volunteer, I always felt very appreciated and my ideas fully respected by Koen, Marion, Julia and the rest of the amazing front office team. The atmosphere within the volunteers and staff members is unbelievably supportive and loving, like in a little family. I never felt lonely once! I would 100% recommend it, especially for those seeking actual deep relationships whilst being abroad. All the love for the hostel <3

The hostel was amazing! The greatest work and stay I could have asked for, working and living with the other volunteers brings a deep sense of family. The host provides exactly what was expected plus so much more. If you are ever debating on going to the hostel, just do it! You'll have a phenomenal time!

The team at the hostel is absolutely phenomenal, you will not find a better hostel volunteer opportunity. The staff and the volunteers so quickly become a little family and everyone is so welcoming and happy to have you. The work is easy and as described, theres lots of free time to explore and have fun with the team. I've seen many major sights in the Netherlands as well as tons of hidden gems and cool spots I never would have discovered on my own. I truly can't express how incredible this experience was, I will never forget all the people I've met here and Tilburg will always have my heart <3

Words can't even express how amazing this experience was. From the moment of my arrival this place just felt like home to me and by the time the people became like a second family to me, both volunteers and staff members, they really made my time at the hostel! The facilities are great, you get provided with everything you need and the work is really fair as well, working hours are always respected. I can't recommend this place more, the only negative thing is how high your standards for every other place will be. Thanks for everything guys, I'll see you all again soon!

If you are considering doing a Worldpackers experience you have to make it this one!! My experience at the hostel has been absolutely incredible! From the instant I arrived I felt so welcomed! The staff and other volunteers quickly became like family. The work is super easy and there's always so much free time after shifts. The facilities also are beyond what I expected, having a whole seperate staff area with a kitchen and living room was so great! This was really a highlight of my Europe trip and I'll never forget it :)

I have nothing to complain about the employees, they work more than they're supposed to. However, we had to leave 2 months earlier because in addition to working the night shift, without any days off, we also had 4 extra shifts during the day (not previously arranged). There also happened to be activities during free time (mandatory). We tried to talk to the owner, but what was offered was not equivalent. When we left we found out that the complaints we made weren't even broughten up to the manager. We felt disrespected. It's a pity because the hostel has potential.

Hi Luana!

We have already talked a lot about this situation with you guys, and we tried our best to solve the miscommunication and the different expectations you had. In the end you even mentioned that you would write a positive review, if I would do the same. So, I am pretty surprised that you guys did not return your end of the deal.

And again, leaving the hostel in the middle of the night is not a choice I would have made. Giving us no time to find a replacement for a nightshift while we thought the problems were solved. ;)

I had a great experience with all the other volunteers, and loved our daily dinners together! We also had lunch together everyday, which was nice. The communication and organization with the management team could've been better. The work isn't difficult, but they expect you to work a lot during the week, so it's longer hours than many other volunteer jobs. Keep in mind that the hours are quite set, so if you have other responsibilities or jobs, it can be difficult to balance at times. We were able to find a compromise so that I could still work my remote job, which I am thankful for.

Hi Kaitlyn,
Thanks for your review! ;)

I do however think it's good to clarify for everyone that the hours are as described as in the Worldpackers, and I also explain them again during a videocall. That's why it also came as quite a surprise to hear last minute that you weren't able to work 2 out of the 3 shifts that we described! Luckily we could find a agreement that worked for both of us! Besides that, after being with us for two weeks, you texted me saying that you found an apartment and was leaving us the next week...

Glad I have the opportunity to respond to your review Kaitlyn! I wish you all the best for your future. :)
