Cleaning Ninja: clean during the day and party at night

United States

1

Did not follow the agreed upon position or hours. Offer said 2 days off, given 1 day off. Was supposed to be party promoting and bartending, but it was making beds. Put up with that until I saw they had bedbugs. When brought to attention, they said "I'll believe it when I see it" even though I showed a picture. Then, was told by other staff there were bed bugs a few days before in the staff apartment I was in. So not taken seriously. Staff apartment is 30 minute walk from the hostel. Yelled at for taking a break. Do not recommend. Seemed fun for the partiers, but not workers.

Sorry you had a bad experience. You remember things differently to what actually happened. But one thing you shouldn’t do, is walk out when your shift is starting. That’s not an adult way to resolve things. But all the best.

This volunteer experience was okay, but there were some things that didn't sit well with us. Overall, there was a lack of communication from management. No one sent us the schedule when we first arrived and they assumed twice that I could work extra hours (and scheduled me for extra hours) without asking me first. We stayed in three different places during our three weeks, which made it challenging to get settled and the communication about these plans and moves was poor. We were ultimately moved to a room for volunteers that had bugs and no locks for the lockers or the room itself.

Hello, good afternoon, I want to report that I just had a discussion with the person in charge, Patrick, from the hostel Wilde Word Hostel, who was speaking to me with orders in very bad taste, like how I couldn't eat badly, even though I hadn't had lunch, alone. Until the end of the shift, which is from 4 to 6 since I was not involved in any paperwork, clean the bathrooms, corridors, stairs glass, take the guests to their rooms. I opened the door for a break, he told me that I could do it until the shift ended and I told him 1 minute: he yelled at me and disrespected me and he couldn't allow .

It was my first time volunteering and it was an amazing experience! Everyone on the team was the best: Cracker!, Petra, Filip, Patrick, Marc, Luca.. I only have positive words and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to meet new people, practice their English and specially having fun and party everyday! I'm sure I will be back soon!

Joaquin was very nice and organized person. He helped us mostly in cleaning duties but also going night shifts that show the trust we had with him and that he was responsable person. It was very easy to communicate with him and make plans. I would recommend him for anyone.

This was my first worldpackers experience, & I don't think I could've asked for a better one. From the minute I got there I felt so welcomed and at home. Petra, Cracker, Filip, Patrik, literally all the managers and other staff are such an amazing group of fun, loving people. The hours and tasks are very accurate to what is outlined, and there's great communication throughout the hostel team in case things happen. They truly want you to have a great time there. the hostel really became like a second home to me in my time here, & I can 100% say I will be back one day soon, Ninjas 4lyfe!!

This was my first worldpackers experience and it set the bar very high. Petra, Filip and Cracker are so amazing, make you feel so welcome and make you feel like part of a family. The work expectations are well communicated so you always know what's expected of you. I would recommend this hostel to anyone wanting to have an amazing time!
