The hostel is a great opportunity for anyone interested to volunteer at a hostel. The owners and staff are really great people and the work is not difficult. You have a lot of free time to do as you wish and You gain great knowledge about how a hostel operates at one of the most laid-back hostels on the website. Genoa is a beautiful city not only for the history and food but also for the people and surrounding nature. It's still a hidden gem in my eyes and is a must see on your travels. Don't hesitate to apply to this wonderful opportunity :)

Everything was amazing! The hosts were very helpful and friendly in every way. Since the hostel had a high circulation of guests, I had the chance to meet many new people. I was responsible for cleaning, housekeeping, and reception, but none of these tasks were difficult, and there was always someone to guide me. I even extended my stay for another week, and if I didn't have other plans, I would have stayed longer. The hostel is easy to reach, the location is great, and the city itself is beautiful. I honestly can't find any downside, I definitely recommend it! :)

I enjoyed my month in Genova in Ostellin very much, time has passed so quickly. Because it's a relatively small hostel, it feels more intimate and very cozy, which I liked. On the other hand, thanks to the connection to the other two hostels, there's always something going on, depends on what you feel like. If you don't have any previous experience, you might find the reception shift a little overwhelming at first, however, you'll get used to it quickly and you can always ask, which made it easier for me! Staff was very nice and makes you feel welcome!

Volunteering at the hostel was absolutely wonderful! Everyone is so incredibly nice and welcoming and the hostel is small, cozy and very social. Because of that, the work isn't very hard and meeting new people and making friends is easy. I recommend this experience if you like to meet new people and explore Italy. The nightshift is pretty chill once you've gotten the hang of it and you can take day- or weekend trips from Genova to see Florence, Cinque Terre, Milano or even Rome which I definitely recommend ! I had an amazing time 🫶

A great first work away experience, the owners and the team made the hostel felt like a home, the hostel with the guests gave me dorm in college feeling. The working hours are well respected. Liguria is pretty and livable.

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.
