It was an OK experience. It depends on how THEY deal with you.
I worked 95h/month for a 6-bed dorm (every room has AC EXCEPT the one for volunteers 😅).
Others worked 3h of REALLY light cleaning, 6 days/week. I was doing 3h NON-STOP making 25 beds like an employee.
They told me about a 440€ DISCOUNT, but gave me 70€ 😅
Basically, you work to cover hostel rent. Overall it’s OK, but I DON’T recommend making deals with them.
Btw, staying in AMSTERDAM is nice , and they give volunteers a BIKE 🚲 (you’ll need it , it's far from city center)
All the team and even owners are nice people🤍

Hi Fateme, first and foremost thank you for your work with us, we appreciated your help.

I would like to point out that from the get go, before you got to us, we have been completely transparent about what the hours would be and what it would look like - you had every possibility to refuse then.

Overall, we were happy with you as a volunteer and wish you the best.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and overall, it was good. I worked morning shifts, which gave me time to explore the city in the afternoons.

However, I felt a bit uncomfortable when some of the cleaning staff disapproved of my work, even though I followed the manager’s training. One even tapped me, which felt unnecessary.

Aside from that, the manager was kind and the other volunteers were great. I’m grateful for the experience.

My experience with Dutchies Hostel was amazing. Merel welcomed me with great hospitality when I first arrived. Everyone was very friendly and respectful. The task wasn't difficult and gave me lots of free time to explore the city center. The train,tram&bus stations are super close to the hostel so transportation is not a problem at all. You can use the bikes of the Hostel as well. I met great local&international people while I was staying there. Hope to come back in the future:)
