As my first experience with volunteering at Worldpackers, I really enjoyed being here. Tasks are very easy and quick to perform, Barthel the manager is extremely polite and always very available. Alexey is the owner, despite speaking basic English, communication was always good, he was always available via telegram, always responding quickly to whatever we needed. In general it was a very good experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for their first experience as a volunteer, here could be a good option. To me it was great because I could practice my Spanish and my English.

It was a great experience to get to know Sofia and Bulgaria. The work is easy and you have a lot of free time to get to know the city. It's perfect for beginners.

My experience at the hostel was awesome! I really felt welcomed and part of a family by working here. The staff is very responsible and helpful. The manager, Barthel, is very friendly and is all the time available to help if we have any questions. The owner, Alexey, is all the time connected and ready to answer any question that we have on Telegram. The tasks are very easy, usually we finish all the cleaning in 2 hours and the rest of the shift we just need to stay at the reception to help some guests. I extremely recommend this hostel.

It was a great experience. I felt welcomed and part of the team: Barthel is the manager and he always could help me understand the tasks, Asya is the old Lady that is always making good and local food, and Alexey it was always available to talk but online. As my first experience volunteering I'd totally recommend Ten the hostel. I did trips and climbing in Vitosha Mountain by the hostel. The Hostel is very quite and familiar, it's a place to know new people and chill in Sofia. Also is close to the metro station so you can go to the center every time you want to just 1,60 Leva.

Really cozy hostel. The quiet area surrounding the hostel provided a peaceful atmosphere, and the proximity of the metro station (only 300 meters away) made it easy to explore the city. Asya, Bartel and the other volunteers were such a great company and made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Sofia!

I had a good experience at the hostel and enjoyed getting to explore Sofia! The hostel is small and quiet and not very near the city center, but it is right by the metro. The tasks are easy and hours are as described. The only thing I would improve is that the training was extremely minimal, especially with reception tasks, but a volunteer was frequently left with no staff in the hostel and expected to run the entire reception after not being properly trained on everything needed for that.

The owner and the manager are very nice. The hostel is not downtown but it's easy to get anywhere with public transportation. But keep in mind that is a cheap hostel, so expect everything to be very cheap. And be prepaired to receive a lot of weird guests. Overall is an ok place, could have some improvements on the hostel structure.
