I had the best experience at the hostel. Albano and Maryam are the best of people! I would recommend this to any traveler that loves a social time and even some permaculture! The hostel itself is an incredible space and the hosts make your stay such a spectacular experience! Don't miss out on this place.

The hostel was a great place to volunteer. I met lots of travellers and amazing people. The tasks were quite simple , I worked at reception, did some cleaning, and also helped with gardening on a farm about 30 minutes away by car (Alban drove us). I'm really happy I could give a hand here; it's a very interesting project and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

I had such an amazing time at the hostel. Albano and Maryam were very welcoming, friendly, and insightful. I ended up spending a lot of time with Albano through the gardening shift, and learned a lot through his personal experiences and mindfulness. This is an experience that I will surely not forget about and am grateful I was able to be a part of. The highlight of this experience was meeting and hanging out with the hostel guests, and making so many new global friends. Although some days were tougher than others, overall this is an experience I could not recommend more. I hope to return

I loved my stay at the hostel! The host Albano and Maryam are amazing people who truly care about their volunteers and the hostel! I only did reception there and our hours were 4hours a day, 6 days a week with 1 day off. They are flexible if you want a specific day or time off. Overall, it was a good experience!
