Volunteering at the the hostel was definitely one of the best decisions i could have made. I felt welcome from the very first moment. The staff is incredible and always willing to help with anything you need. A special thanks to Lucija – you are such an important part of the hostel! The shifts are very easy and you have enough free time to explore the city or travel to other places around Zagreb. I had an amazing time with all the other volunteers, and it's so easy to make new friends here. I will miss this place a lot and can strongly recommend volunteering here.

My volunteer experience at the hostel was incredible. Zagreb really started to grow on me during my the hostel — the culture, the pace of life, and the people all made a huge impression. As a kid from a small town in Tennessee, I was treated so well from day one. The staff, guests, and other volunteers made me feel welcomed and included, and I truly enjoyed meeting everyone. I'm grateful for the opportunity and can't wait to come back again.

Working at the hostel was truly an unreal experience.Not only is the hostel in a great location, has great rooms, an amazing bar and restaurant connected and overall great vibes, the best part is the staff. I've never felt so welcomed in a work environment and truly love every person I have worked with which is extremely hard to come by. I've made some very special friendships that I hope last a lifetime. As far as the work goes, the work is well explained by the staff and easy to do and allows you to have plenty of free time to explore Zagreb and neighboring cities. Couldn't recommend enough!!

Staying at the hostel was truly an amazing experience! From the very first day, the staff made me feel so welcome — they're all such kind, genuine, and incredible people. I also got along so well with the other volunteers, and it honestly felt like we were all one big family. The work was easy and fun and I especially loved working at the bar. I'm beyond grateful for the time I spent there and for everything I learned along the way. I already miss this place so much and will never forget all the wonderful people who made my time at the hostel so special. 💕
