After my time volunteering at a&o I feel like I have come away with so much. It has been such a valuable experience to me and I have met the most wonderful people.
Luibov is a truly beautiful person who always works her hardest to ensure that everyone is comfortable in their environment and that everything runs as it should do.
I could not imagine a better manager or host and I am so so happy that she picked me to join the team here in Berlin.
I would happily return and I would gladly recommend this opportunity to anyone who wishes to have a similar experience :))

My experience at a&o was amazing. Liubov is fair, transparent, and genuinely supportive, I felt welcomed and respected from day one. The tasks were clear, the environment was chill, and the staff were super fun to be around. I left with gratitude, good memories, and the feeling of having been part of something meaningful. I truly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a real and positive exchange. 💙

I had a lovely time volunteering at a&o! ♥️ The team is very well-organized, professional, and at the same time very warm and easygoing. The tasks are quite relaxed — helping out at the bar or in the kitchen, which makes the work feel fun and engaging. The working hours are flexible and not overwhelming, and Liubov is always understanding when it comes to schedule changes or days off! The hostel has a lovely backyard to relax in, and it's located in a lively, authentic Berlin neighborhood — perfect for immersing up the city's raw and vibrant atmosphere!

If you're thinking about going to Berlin to stay at A&O, I can just say—do it!
The city is awesome, and the hostel is really well located, close to the train station, a market, and everything you might need.
Lubov is a very open-minded person who will listen to you, genuinely care about you as a person, and give you space to share ideas for activities or anything that might make the environment better and more fun for both guests and the team.
The team—whether volunteers or staff—you'll meet some truly amazing people. I could spend a whole day talking about them, but no more words, sorry ;) ❤
