I truly loved my time at the hostel. The team I worked with was amazing, the city of Nijmegen is absolutely beautiful, and the host was thoughtful and considerate. Work hours are respected and they always make an effort to check if the weekly schedule works well with your plans. I recommend it!

I had a fantastic time at the hostel, it truly felt like my home while I was there and wish I could have stayed longer. The facilities are all clean and comfortable. The work and the hours are all very fair and the owner, Joep, is very reasonable, if you ever have any issues or concerns simply talk to him and he will work to fix them. I made good friends with all of the people volunteering with me, but especially Lucas and Lay. You guys are the best!

The tasks were generally simple and easy to follow, with a flexible schedule that left plenty of time for trips and activities. The provided food was sufficient, and the weekly staff dinner was a nice bonus. The staff and volunteers were welcoming and supportive. Cons: The living quarters were a bit cramped, and during my stay, it didn't quite have the typical backpacker hostel atmosphere.

Great experience and nice place!! The team is fabulous and willing to help you in whatever. Shifts and work hours are always respected. If you want to connect with people around the world, to share part of your time there and learn some languages it's the perfect place.

I couldn't have chosen a better place to do my first volunteering. the hostel was a cozy and warm shelter during the winter, and Nijmegen truly surprised me (It's a really cool city). Eric and Joep are incredibly welcoming and generous, and the other volunteers were just lovely. The breakfast is very abundant, the work is easy and enjoyable, and the hostel is spotless. Thanks for everything :)
