The Experience

The job is way simple: it is mainly keeping the guests satisfied by socializing and generally be around and offer help and knowledge to our Guests. It mainly means to do our Hostel Events, like doing the BBQ on Monday, cook the Vegetarian Free Dinner on Sunday and Wednesday. Also our Volunteers help us with the breakfast. In low season during wintertime we need some simple help with the nightshifts.

This was my first time volunteering at a hostel and I was excited but a little nervous. Everyone who works there is very welcoming and communicative and made it a great experience. The activities volunteers are responsible for give you so many opportunities to meet people and explore the city, as well as extra traveling to nearby areas, which I really appreciated. Dresden is a beautiful city and I grew to really love it. Honestly volunteering here was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and thank you so much to Juliane and Martin and the team for making the hostel a home away from home 💛

This was my second time as a volunteer at the hostel and honestly it was as good as the first time. Everyone welcomed me back with open arms and I had an amazing time with the staff, the other volunteers and the guests at the hostel. Thank you to everyone in the hostel team for making it my home away from home ❤️

My time at the hostel was amazing and i'd recommend it to anyone. the main tasks are to host the social events like karaoke and cooking free dinner, and you sometimes do supermarket trips or help with breakfast. it leaves so much time to explore dresden and beyond - i visited leipzig and vienna so as long as you coordinate with the other volunteers it's possible! Martin and the team were so welcoming to me, and truly made the hostel feel like a home away from home. the volunteer dorm sometimes has guests in, if demand is high but for me it was a plus because i met more cool people :)

Hello dear Adanma, thank you so much and sorry for answering so late. The season is now very busy and I working nearly everyday on reception. It was wonderful to get to know you and it was a really great and very friendly time with you :) You feedback is really very touching to me. Thank you so much. I wish you all the best and hope to welcome you again very soon. Best regards, Martin.

Had a wonderful first worldpacker's experience at the hostel! I was intimidated and nervous at first but I genuinely felt at home from the moment I stepped into the hostel. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and always so full of energy! The staff and the other volunteers treated me like family, from having delicious free dinners to exploring the city, I miss every moment of it. The work doesn't really feel like work since you get to mingle with like-minded travellers and the work is also flexible, making everyday feel like a new adventure. I am forever grateful for the opportunity :)

I had the absolute best month and a half while volunteering at the hostel! All of the staff were amazing and the volunteers, in addition to the guests, were all absolutely lovely. The hours were not too much and were perfect to keep yourself entertained, and were actually very fun experiences throughout the week to meet new people. I could go on forever about the time I had there, but I'll leave it at the fact that I already miss it so much and hope to go back in the near future:)
