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.

About the experience in: Zwolle, Netherlands
Spain
Mi experiencia en hostel de basis ha sido perfecta, no podría haber sido mejor. El equipo de trabajadores se siente como una familia, siempre te ayudan en lo que pueden . Rowan, Nick y Anuska son súper cercanos. Éramos 8 voluntarios, de los cuales 6 éramos españoles. Todos nos hicimos amigos y hacíamos planes por la ciudad. También visité varias ciudades de Holanda, simplemente espectacular. Yo hacía el Night Shift, el trabajo es súper sencillo y ligero, las horas fueron las acordadas siempre y son muy flexibles si necesitas algun cambio. Me siento muy agradecida, volveré pronto. Doei <3

volunteering at hostel Debasis in Zwolle was honestly such a great experience! From day one I felt super welcomed and connected right away with the people there. Everyone is incredibly friendly, always around to help you out with anything you need. Also I have connected a lot with the other volunteers from differents parts of the world and we have been such an amazing team! I only have good words for describing this experience, I would recommend it to anyone. I will come back soon!

It was an incredible experience in which i learned a lot because not only do you get to work but you also get to know holland and its people in depth. All the people who work there are very nice and they always treated me great and i got to know the other volunteers very well. It is an experience that i would definitely repeat and that i recommend to everybody.

Experiencia increíble! Anfitriona y compañeros maravillosos! Dispuestos a ayudarte con lo que sea, además la ciudad es preciosa y tanto el bar como el hostel son increíbles y el ambiente es muy guay! Tanto la comida como las instalaciones están muy bien y también te dejan bicis para darte una vuelta cuando quieras. Son pocas horas de trabajo y se hace muy ameno ya que cualquier duda que tengas, te van a ayudar. Lo mejor que me llevo son a los voluntarios, muy buen grupo! Bennie es adorable:)
Volvería a repetir!

My experience at Bennies & De Basis has honestly been one of the best I’ve had as a volunteer so far.
Doing the night shift definitely came with its own challenges and things to learn, like any new experience, but it all felt smooth and friendly thanks to the amazing team — open, fun, responsible, kind, communicative, and always proactive. Always ready to help out with anything.
On top of enjoying my time as a volunteer here, I’m leaving not only with great coworkers, but with real friends. People I truly appreciate and will miss a lot.
Thanks, Bennie fam. See you soon. Kisses and hugs <3
