My experience at the hostel was great! From the beggining I felt welcoming by Marco, Mateo, Guilio Manuel and Rabbi. The hostel athmosphere is social, warm and quite. The tasks are well definied and schedule is respected. Also if you need to do changes, they are very flexible. The hostel is well located (only 5min walking from Brignole Station and 30min from Principe Station). Genova is a beutiful city with incredible views! Totally recommend! TANTE GRAZIE :D

You'll find a home here i'm telling you. Very cute place, with even cuter people. Shifts are very easy and well explained, i enjoyed every minute of it! You can get the Genovese cultural experience here, eat as much pesto and focaccia as you can! Forever in my heart, whenever i'm back near Genova i'm visiting this place again! Can only recommend! Much Love!

I had an amazing time at the hostel, it truly became a home for me! The volunteering work was fair and as agreed, and the hostel was a great place to meet people from all over the world. Genoa is also a beautiful city with so much to do in and around the area. I'm so grateful to the other volunteers and the managers who created a welcoming space for me during my six weeks there :)

My Time in the the hostel was absolutely amazing! I fell in love with Genova and the people at the Hostel! When there were questions about the work there was always help available and I felt immediately welcome and home with everyone. I had so much fun at that place and we did a bunch of activities together such as group dinners and lunches, going to the bar or enjoying movie night! A special shoutout to Laura Espana, Laurita Mexico and Rabie for making this one of the best times I could have asked for! Thank you guys for everything, I really hope to see you again and to return ❤️

The hostel has been a second home for me. I'm really grateful for everyone I worked together, team and other volunteers were very supportive. Kudos to Marco, Giulio, Manu and Matteo. Location is also great. Genova is close to Portofino, Cinque Terre, and nearby beaches were mesmerizing so I had plenty of time to travel and see around. I highly recommend this place to other volunteers, I spent one of the best times in my life 🌟
