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. 💕

My experience in the hostel was amazing, people here are so friendly and helpful. About the tasks, those are so simple and everything is organized. The location is perfect because you are in the middle of the city. I would recommend this volunteer any doubts

I had a really great time here. The managers Zvonemir and Lucija are the absolute best. The work is really awesome, you learn a lot of new things. I would highly recommend and encourage future volunteers to engage with the people they are working with, they can teach you a lot and they are all really good people. Me and the volunteers and the people that worked at the hostel had really good relationships with each other. We did not just speak to each other on the job. the hostel definitely has more of a family vibe. All the staff that worked at the reception were also amazing and very kind!
