The Golden Stork
We are a small hostel family with the perfect location in the city center of The Hague at a typical Dutch canal. We also have unlimited free coffee, and a cozy dorm to sleep in.
Besides all that we have an awesome staff (who will be your new best friends) and they also organize all kinds of activities in or around the hostel. Also really good for a nice conversation (with an optional beer)!
We are two brothers who started our first hostel here in The Hague. We are very involved with the day to day business. We like to help our volunteers out discovering the city and share our knowledge and skills about our coffee culture.

About the experience in: Rijswijk, Netherlands
Brazil
Volunteering at Golden Stork for a month was a challenging and constructive experience. I developed communication skills, a sense of community, and learned housekeeping. However, it's more a hotel than a hostel, with over 100 rooms and no community vibe or engagement activities. The accommodations are great, breakfast is excellent, and Johnny makes a great macchiato. But the kitchen is often messy, and there's no dedicated volunteer space. Overall, a good experience, but improvements are needed for me to consider returning.

It was a great experience, the host and the hotel staff were great.
Thank you everyone for your patience and hospitality. I also received help from some Worldpackers. chevere I learned about housekeeping. The breakfast was delicious and varied. In my free time, I visited Amsterdam and the canals. It's a very beautiful country, very well organized. I would come back and visit again. It's a beautiful country.
I wish everyone the best from your Peruvian friend.
Blessings,
Jaqueline.

My experience in Rijswijk was pleasant. I immediately felt good with all the volunteers and the team. The work is really easy, and you even have the opportunity to choose your own schedule, giving you a break. The rooms have private, comfortable beds, occupied by volunteers. The area is close to the city center, large parks, and The Hague. I immediately became fond of the staff, whom I greet warmly, Karyna, Rasim, and Hilde are wonderful people. Dennis is always present and available, and he takes great care of any issues, which makes him an excellent host. I recommend this place!

I stayed there for one month. It was great to make friendships etc. The best part of the location is you can go to delft by foot! Just 3km!!! Train station is also very close. Thanks to Rasim for his helps! :) Made experience even better!

Dennis fue un excelente anfitrión, siempre dispuesto a ver la forma de colaborar con las necesidades de uno y buscar un punto medio en que ambas partes seamos beneficiadas.
Trabajé de forma directa con la Gerente de HSK y la Supervisora de HSK, Skirmante y Karyna resectivamente, y fue muy ameno y agradable haber podido trabajar con ambas. Al igual que Dennis, siempre predispuestas a ayudar a uno cuando es merecido.
