I felt really welcomed at the hostel. The working hours were respected and everyone is really the hostel. The work is also not hard. The street noises can get a bit annoying so I would recommend brining ear plugs for sleeping. All in all I had a really good time and would definitely recommend it :))

I helped out the housekeeping team at the hostel for 4 weeks. The manager Gabi was so accommodating and communicative, and was kind enough to set up an exchange for me last minute. The housekeeping team was friendly and the work was consistent, clear, simple, and even enjoyable (for me it was a mixture of sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping)! The schedule was always honored, expectations were clear, and if anything I often finished early. I have nothing but good things to say about management . The hostel location is quite urban and busy- if you like this kind of setting it would be a good fit.

My time at the hostel was fabulous! The team were very welcoming and quickly became like family, and the hostel in general was always full of friendly people. The shifts are relaxed and the team is very strong, so I never stressed about work on my days off. Communication with Gabi was excellent! She is super respectful and flexible with planning days off, I had a concert that was easy scheduled around. Would highly recommend volunteering here, I have made the best memories and lifelong friends from this experience. Thank you!! Xx

It was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have asked for a better place! The staff and volunteers were so kind and made me feel at home from day one. Work hours were fair, and you usually never work alone. The most amazing aspect was the community, us girls became like a little family and made memories I'll never forget 💫 for future volunteers: the street noise at night can get loud, so bring earplugs! I'm so grateful for everything and would 100% come back! Thank you to the entire team for everything !! I miss you guys already 💓
