I volunteered at Ostellin for about 5 weeks and I had a great experience! The workload is more than fair, everything is well-explained, and everyone is helpful and friendly. The hostel itself is amazing as well! It's very easy to meet people and explore Genoa and the surrounding area. I highly recommend coming here!

I stayed in Victoria House Hostel in Genova for 5 weeks in September-October, 2024. My experience was great: the working hours were always respected, the tasks were clearly explained and the communication was always fluid between the hostel workers and the other volunteers. Phenomenal vibes and atmosphere, flexibility with the schedules and a very convenient location near one of the main stations in the city. I would recommend this volunteering experience, 10/10. Grazie per tutto!! // ¡¡Muchas gracias!!

The hostel was my HOME for almost two months. The city of Genoa is beautiful and there are lots of things to do in your free time, apart from enjoying Genoa you can go to the beaches outside the city which are marvellous. The hostel is very cosy, and its structure helps you make friends and meet people every day. I had a great time there and made good friends. Thank you Giulio, Manuel and Paul for your support and hospitality during this time, you are incredible.
