The Experience

As a traveler and volunteer myself, I know how much volunteers shape the heart of a hostel. We are a small, new place with 3 dorms, 3 private rooms and a cozy rooftop bar. We need help arranging social evening activities like sunset walks, family dinners and gathering guests for parties. In exchange: free dorm bed, laundry access, kitchen use and 50% off at the bar. Min 4-week stay, ±22 hrs/week. Let’s grow the vibe together! 💙

I had a good first volunteer experience at this hostel. I learned a lot, the accommodation was comfortable, and the staff was friendly and supportive. The schedule was flexible, tasks varied, and volunteers are encouraged to take responsibility, share ideas, and shape their own role. I highly recommend this place to volunteers who want to meet new people, and be part of an open, international travel community! ✨
