My volunteering at here was amazing!! At first I was hesitant due to the minimum amount of days, but after meeting the staff, the installations, and the other volunteers you might even think in extending your stay (it's more common that I first thought). You get to know a lot of the city, and thanks to how big the hostel is, it becomes a multicultural experience full of new travelers every day. I'm grateful for the people I met, friends I made, and core memories I experience. Totally recommended.

It was my first experience with Worldpackers and I couldn't have chosen a better place! The workload is manageable and diverse, just be aware that sometimes you can work more than 5 hours a day. The hostel is fantastic, very clean, the beds are comfortable, the bar is great and the rooftop jacuzzi is a plus. I met some amazing people and our volunteer group had an incredible dynamic, it truly felt like a family. The staff were also friendly and fun. A special thanks to Morgane, our manager, who was always there to help us and make the experience even better.

I spent 45 days with the hostel team and it was an incredible experience. The people there are friendly, I made a lot of friends from all over the world. The staff are always friendly and helpful, as are the supervisors and the boss. Thank you the hostel for making my days in this city the best. I strongly recommend them!

Couldn't have chosen a better place for my first WP experience!! The workload is both manageable and varied, and hours/tasks are as expected. Feedback & day off requests are also handled well. The hostel itself is modern, clean, and VERY social which makes it easy to meet people from all around the world. Ultimately, the connections I've made through the hostel are what made my experience as incredible as it was. The other interns, staff + guests were some of the loveliest people I've ever met. Thank you to the hostel team for this wonderful experience, à bientôt!! <3
