The hostel is a really cool place to camp out for a couple of months or so during your travels or as a middle ground looking for a more permanent move into the Netherlands. The hostel is a work in progress - some systems could be refined - but its a nice place to live, the work is fair, and it's a lovely city (the river is perfect for summer). Erick and Junior front the management team on the ground, and they're really great people. If you need something, they try to get it done. They also really try to encourage a good volunteer culture with BBQs, shared dinners, and movie nights.

Volunteering at the hostel was an experience beyond my expectations The other volunteers I met were fantastic people, 6 short but intense weeks that I will remember for a long time Junior and Erick, the managers of the hostel, were welcoming and always thought of a vegetarian alternative for me Great experience in a place where you can breathe a family air and at the same time many guests come and leave. Also, the city is beautiful, so much green and so many parks, things to do, festival Surely to be done again : )) l definitely gonna miss you guys ❤️ Wish you all the best

An incredible experience, the hostel tasks were easy and simple, I would still recommend having more volunteers because sometimes it is quite a lot of work. The best of all was feeling at home and meeting wonderful people that I will always carry in my heart. Thank you very much, especially to Junior for being an incredible Manager :)

I spent almost 2 months at the hostel in Nijmegen and I absolutely loved it. I got lucky to be part of an amazing team of 8 volunteers (plus the cool manager) with whom I spent unforgettable moments. I've made friends for life here. Some days the work could be tough, but most days were chill and we finished early. The atmosphere was always stress-free and with good vibes from everyone. The hostel itself is clean and cozy and its location near the city center is perfect, with all kinds of shops, great nightlife and a natural reserve with river beaches nearby. Highly recommended!

My experience at the hostel has been incredible, surrounded by amazing people from the very beginning. I felt so welcomed. Junior and Erik, the managers, always have such a good attitude and are incredibly funny. The duties are similar to other hostels, with some pretty busy days, but the environment is cool. My fellow volunteers, my partners in crime, will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you all so much. ¡Muchas gracias, muito obrigada, danke, and bedankt! =) ♡︎

My experience in the hostel was amazing. This was my first volunteer work and I couldn't have asked for a better volunteer program. The people I met here were lovely and nice, and I had a lot of fun with them. The tasks were easy to do, just a little bit heavier on the weekend though, because there are more guests. Junior and Linda were amazing! When we arrived, Junior explained everything to me and whenever something happened I knew I could go to them. The city is beautiful, and I was surprised by the nightlife here. Joep has bicycles available for us to explore the city. 100% recommended.
