The hostel is changing very fast and Joep is a host like no other. He's always looking for ways to provide us some comfort and fun, he's also very helpful and it's very nice to see that we were able to help transform the hostel. The location is perfect, very central, and Nijmegen is very green and a welcoming city. I'm looking forward to seeing the result of the work and I sincerely hope it exceeds expectations. Great place, great people.The coolest construction site I've ever been to kkkkk

Positive . The city's a real charm, I loved it. There's a good train station and several bus lines . The hostel's atmosphere was nice . The owner let my girlfriend and me stay, most of the time, in a private room, and it was good to practice English with him. He was flexible with the work schedule Negative . The work, especially during the weekends, was tiring and stressful . There weren't any real employees and the owner only showed himself up for a few hours during the week and he was rarely present on the weekends. Therefore, the hostel was managed by the volunteers

Hello Rafael,

I am sorry to hear again that you found it stressfull. As I said in my conversations to you I am taking the feedback on board and we are doing the same amount of work now with double the people, so it is all a lot less demanding.

I do not think your observations about the management and my hours are very accurate. But like we discussed I am looking for someone to assist over the weekends.

All the best!

My time in the hostel was just amazing!! We had a room with 3 beds for the staff and in the beginning it was just for girls, that was really nice. there is an area outside that we always spend hours talking and chilling. The work is easy and sometimes the time of ur shift change a little bit but they always told us before so we could plan our day. Elfie is the manager and she is the one that we had more contact, she is sweet and honest about what they expect from you and the rules of the job. And Jamie's food is amazing, I recommend this place 100%. I could travel a lot when I was there( :

I had a great time at the hostel, I felt so welcomed when I came here, even if I was a bit scared because it was my first tome traveling alone, my fear was gone after 5 minutes I arrived! The work is great and you still have enough time doing something else or exploring other cities. Jamie's food always made my day better and it felt like a little family when we met for dinner and ate together. Nijmegen as itself is a funny student city, with the whole going out experience but also a lot of beautiful nature. I met the best people here and I would wish coming back soon!

My experience at the hostel was great! Nijmegen is a wonderful place: beautiful, safe, full of parks and festivals, perfect to ride a bike. You can get anywhere in the city or visit others by bike. I wish I could live there forever! The other volunteers were fantastic. I loved to spend time talking to them. Joep, our host, was very nice. He is calm, friendly and easygoing. He allows the environment of the hostel be relaxed, he makes we feel comfortable there and gives us a lot of freedom. I am grateful for the time I spent there. I miss already. These were special days.

Nijmegen it is a perfect place if you are interesting to visit the surrounding of here. The hostel is located 10 minutes from the train station and 2 minutes from the center. You have everything very close like river, parks, shopping, bar or restaurant. So, you can be volunteering and you always can make some extra activities. Joep, is a great host and the hours of work are easy. Your duties here can be reception, clean the hostel, clean the restaurant and help in the bar/kitchen. The daily dinner( Wednesday- Sunday) was always lekker, Dankjewel Jemie. The staff was super, thanks Elfi too.

So, That's my first experience with volunteer work in the Hostel and the hostel is a good place to start this kind of experience. The owner and other staffs are really great and patient with the volunteers. I really enjoy the meals because James is an excellent chef, all meal was amazing and they did vegetarian and Vegan options. The hostel is small, so the work is really easy and Nijmegen, the Netherlands in general, is a good place to practice English. I'm really glad to start my volunteer at this hostel. So, probably everyone will like to spend some time there.

The experience in the Hostel was good. It's a local quiet and cleaned. It was a different experience for me, because it was my first travel alone. But it was ok.
