Overall I had a great stay. I was supposed to stay only one month, but ended up extending to 3 months. Everyone was really nice, and the work wasn't too hard. The hours were respected, and management also really flexible on the days off, meaning I got to do and discover a lot. the hostel is also really central and well connected, so it's easy to travel to and from there. The hostel is nice and well kept. You just need to be ready to share your room with other staff members. But at the end of the day, it feels like being part of a big family. I came as a volunteer but left a second home.

This was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have chosen a better place. The staff is super kind and makes you feel comfortable right away. The tasks are really easy, and you always get support whenever you need it. The working hours are very reasonable and you'll have plenty of free time to explore Scotland, since the hostel is very well connected by bus and by train to other big cities. I meet a lot of amazing people from all over the world and I'm very grateful for that. I really recommend this experience to anyone.

It was my first volunteer with worldpackers! So, I was quite worried before going there. But everyone treated me kindly, and I had a great time communicating with people from many countries during my stay! The work isn't exactly easy, but the hours are short and I have plenty of free time to explore! It's located in downtown the hostel, making it easy to get around to other places. I highly recommend this hostel!
