This was my first volunteering experience and it was truly wonderful Chris, Hervé, and the team welcomed me with such kindness and care. I felt supported from the start, and quickly became part of the group. I made great friends, learned a lot and truly enjoyed the daily tasks the hostel is a charming city, and I also got to visit nearby places. I'm very grateful for everything and would love to return someday <3

First of all, I'd like to thank Chris and Hervé for giving me the chance to be part of this amazing experience. Since the first day, I felt like one of the team. the hostel is a vibrant and friendly city, filled with interesting and lovely people and it's location is pretty convenient if you want to discover Scotland, and the museums are simply amazing! I couldn't possibly have chosen a better place to have my first experience abroad, and I'd love to be back someday if life allows me to.

I had an amazing experience in the hostel, it was an amazing month spent there where I felt extremely welcomed. Chris Herve and all the staff are very nice and kind and made feel home from the first moment. The tasks are easy, working hours are well respected, the staff room is super comfortable and so all the common areas. Also the hostel is super central so it was easy to travel around. I would totally recommend this volunteer and would love to be back! :)

This experience was my first volunteering and my first time going abroad alone, and at first I was scared, but Chris, Hervé and Virginie and the members of the staff made the hostel feel like a home away from home, for the first time in my life I had the chance to meet lots of people from around the world. The work hours were respected, from the very first day the other staff members were here to help me whenever i needed and the work is not hard, i learned lots of things considering that it was my first time doing housekeeping. I would definitely recommend this place, 5 out of 5 !!

My time at the hostel was amazing! The work hours were respected, the tasks were very easy and chill, and the other volunteers were very kind to me. We had some great days together — music nights, pool games, board game night, and even a special dinner. Chris, Hervé, and Virginie are incredible people who truly care about you and make you feel very welcomed. The hostel is big, with many communal areas, a great kitchen, and a cosy staff room. It's also located right in the city centre, which is super convenient. I highly recommend this volunteering experience. Thank you so much!!!
