My volunteer experience was simply incredible 💓! From day one, the team was extremely welcoming and professional, always willing to help and ensure everything ran smoothly✨. Laura and Susy, in particular, are sweethearts💖! They have an infectious energy and are always ready to help with a big smile on their faces🥰.
The place is beautiful, modern, and perfectly located. Besides the beauty of the space, time management is a strong point, with flexible and respectful schedules, which demonstrates the great respect the organization has for volunteers🫂
Thanks for my good time here💫❤️‍🔥

I didn't expect the view from the 12th floor. Torquay house has a little "secret" spots to enjoy a nice view and fresh air .

The staff where very nice and comprehensive with me and the situations that occurred in my stay at LHA.
People from reception where always nice to me and helping me with any question that I had, also they were doing everything work like a clock.

As my roommates, I did have a good chat with 2 of them one from Brazil and the other one from colombia, thery were very helpful and always happy to help.

Without question, Torquay house is a nice spot to stay...

Volunteering at Torquay House was wonderful, I got to go everywhere I wanted in London, improved my English a bit and met people from all over the world. The tasks were ok, the staff were friendly. Only a few volunteers who have been there for a while and feel like they own the place, but I would still highly recommend it to backpackers.

Volunteering here for a month was truly magical. It was my second Worldpackers experience, and I couldn't be happier. The tasks were well-organized, and the host was always supportive, making it easy to adapt. The hostel was bigger than expected, so the work felt tiring at first, but I quickly got used to it. The room was cozy with a kitchen and shared space, and the facilities like the gym and study room were a big plus. I met amazing volunteers from all over the world—kind, hardworking, and fun. I feel lucky to have shared this time with them. This experience raised my trust in Worldpackers
