The Experience

We need support in the everyday maintenance of the House like house-sitting, cleaning-up the rooms, changing the sheets. On weekends it's more busy as hikers arrive and tourist groups arrive, and we need support more in the kitchen background, like cooking pancakes, preparing vegetables, do the washing up. We always work in team so our volunteer can choose the daily task that fits better for him / her.

I loved my stay with Viktor and his family at the hostel! From the moment that I arrived I felt welcomed and the room I had was very cozy and comfortable. I enjoyed learning not only how to make pancakes (which are delicious by the way) but also about what it takes to run a hostel in a national park and a lot about Hungarian culture. I had lots of time to explore the town and take day trips to Budapest while also enjoying the nature surrounding the hostel. I also got to meet many people from Hungary who were all so kind and made it such a wonderful experience!

This was a very peaceful experience compared to most city hostels. The loudness comes at night when the guests are all going to bed, but it really is quiet and you are trusted to carry out the tasks with minimum oversight. The surroundings are all natural with some great hiking opportunities and overlooks. You have a lot of free time. There was one thing I didn't expect (to be asked to leave the hostel because it was overbooked for me), however the host was considerate in providing assistance to help me with accommodations, but I hated to leave the natural scenery to go to the city.

I almost have no words for my stay…it was amazing. The people that Viktor draws in are all fantastic. I met some of the nicest people. The work is easy for the most part, I feel like I can make pancakes/crepes with my eyes closed. Grateful for this place as it was my first Worldpackers location. If you love the woods and being in nature, you'll love this place. Sad to leave, but I feel like I have memories that will last forever. Thank you Viktor and family! 🙏

My experience in this place has been wonderful, first I would like to mention that the place is beautiful, surrounded by trees, nature and peace, Viktor the host is more than a host, we have appreciated him as a friend, because that is how he has behaved with us, he was always willing to help us with our personal things, he is an excellent person, we will definitely miss him, and also Chapel, his beautiful dog. Viktor is a kind person, despite our difficulty with English, he has always been patient with us and has cared about what we needed. We will carry this precious experience in our hearts
