I really enjoyed my time at the hostel/Ostellin. Was able to meet so many amazing people from Genoa and all over the world. The work was simple and shift hours were respected. On your days off there are so many beautiful beaches to visit just a short train ride away. I would highly recommend this experience!

I had a great experience, in a pretty city. The contact with other people is really easy and the volunteers were absolutely lovely ! The tasks are well-organised so as to have 3 or 4 days off a week !

I had a really good time volunteering here. The work was straightforward, helping with reception, cleaning, and keeping a friendly atmosphere. The hostel has a social vibe, so it's easy to meet people from all over. The benefits were nice, like free breakfast, laundry, and even city tours. There was also plenty of time to explore Genoa, which is a beautiful city. Big thanks to Giulio, Matteo, Manuel, and Marco for making the experience even better. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed hostel stay. 😊
