Join One of Europe’s Top Hostels – Where Community, Respect & Cleanliness Matter Hey! We’re a multi-award-winning hostel in the heart of Berlin — proudly voted Best Hostel in Germany and Top 3 in Europe. But what truly makes this place special is the community we’ve built — and the people who help us keep it alive. This isn’t just a hostel — it’s a space that feels like home for travelers from all around the world. As the manager (hi, I’m Caroline!), I’ve worked in hostels for over 10 years — and I actually started out just like you, as a volunteer. So now, as someone running the place, I do my best to make sure every volunteer feels appreciated, respected, and well taken care of. I run this space with heart and high standards — especially when it comes to respect, inclusion, cleanliness, and responsibility. We believe in: Taking care of each other and the space we share Keeping the hostel super clean at all times — this is a big one Being kind, real, and proactive — no drama, no ego Creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone Giving your best effort every shift — no laziness here Volunteers work just three shifts per week, so there’s plenty of time to explore and enjoy Berlin. But during your shifts, I expect full motivation, presence, and care. Cleaning is part of every shift — and it’s how we keep this place top-rated and loved by guests. Your tasks include: Helping with check-ins and guest support Cleaning shared areas, bathrooms, and dorms Being a positive, respectful, and engaged part of our small team If you’re someone who values community, enjoys meaningful work, and wants to be part of a place that feels like home — we’d love to hear from you!

One of the best travel experiences of my life! Caroline and the team are all amazinggg and keep everything organized and running smoothly. EastSeven is a super comfy, clean hostel in such a beautiful area and is a great base to explore Berlin. The guests are all wonderful and the vibes here are just the best. The tasks are clear and easy to follow since everything’s written down, and they never feel like work because the atmosphere is always so much fun. I also loved the 3 weekly 8 hour shifts that give you plenty of free time and flexibility to enjoy Berlin. Already miss it so much!!!

Had the best time at Eastseven! The team felt like a second family and I’ve made some friends for life here. One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in, the work requirements are easy to follow and the environment is so supportive and fun! Couldn’t recommend it any higher <3

Volunteering at EastSeven was my first volunteering experience and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Berlin. Caroline is an experienced manager and strives to ensure the hostel runs smoothly, with responsibilities clearly defined and a focus on a positive experience for guests and volunteers alike.

The hostel is in a great area and is set up in a way where, as a volunteer, you can take time for yourself and be social with others. I became close with the other volunteers here and it was sad to leave, I feel like I have made some friends for life!

I have the best memories of my time at EastSeven - from day 1 the team was super inclusive, supportive and fun and made settling in as easy as possible. EastSeven feels like a big family home, there’s so many spaces to chill and the vibes are so friendly and open. Responsibilities on shift were made clear and Caro makes sure everyone works together and pulls their weight, which means the hostel is kept super clean&organised. Would come back in a heartbeat <3

There’s a reason this place is like a top 5 hostel in Europe. The building is amazing as are the staff and other volunteers. This was the experience of a lifetime and I’ll cherish it forever. Caro and Georgia are amazing. It’s 3 8 hour shifts which are super manageable and they are very flexible if you want to travel for a few days or have things going on in life. I was able to visit Prague, find a full time job all the while easily handling my shifts and enjoying Berlin. Wish I didn’t have to leave
