My life is not gonna be the same after my three months in Oxford. All the people I met, things that I learnt and experiences that I have, made me improve as a person. The hostel is very cozy and friendly, and there is always something going on. People are friendly and the tasks are easy to get. A really good thing is the flexibility during the volunteer, which allows you to explore the surroundings. I will always be grateful to Anthony, who gave me the opportunity to be part of the CB team. I will miss my time in there <3

CB Oxford is the best WP experience I've had. Since day 1 I felt included, supported and listed to. The hostel is relatively small, so it gets to feel more like a co-living experience. The tasks are pretty clear since the beginning; the manager really does his best to accommodate your plans with the schedule (just keep in mind that it's not always possible, so you'd need to be flexible); there're several volunteers, which makes it pretty fun too, and it's the best location. My experience was amazing and I'd highly recommend. I loved my time here and the people I now call dear friends π

As promised, I came back. My second time in here and I enjoyed as much as I could. It was different from my first time being more flexible: I became a lead and it gave me one more day free. Many events every week and I could lead the Bingo Night where many guests, including families, also enjoyed it. Socializing is one my main characteristics, and having normal and drinking games available made it better. Thanks to the all managers, mainly Anthony who enjoyed my playlist and jokes haha. Hope to be back for a visit, Much love, Ek

I had a wonderful time at the hostel! Given it was my first Worldpackers experience, I was a bit nervous beforehand, but the volunteers, owners, and Anthony (the manager) were all friendly and helped create a welcoming environment. As for the work, the expectations were clear and the tasks weren't difficult. They were also good about scheduling and making sure we had time to explore Oxford and beyond. I spent many days wandering around the city and reading in parks, but I also enjoyed plenty of movie nights and pub quizzes with the other volunteers/guests. I would do it all again (:

Hi Emily, For some reason i cant leave you a review! Thank you for all your hard work over the last 3 months you were amazing. Always helping out when needed working extra shifts when things went wrong and you were amazing with the guests.
Hope you have a great time with the rest of your travels :)
Any hostel would be lucky to have you!
Take care
Anthony

I truly felt accompanied and included since the first day. It was such a pleasure to be surrounded by open and beautiful volunteers and guests, all in a safe environment. I appreciated the international side of the hostel, but also what the city of Oxford has to offer. This first volunteering experience really motivates me to continue many others overseas. π€π»Moreover, this experience can help you thrive and definitely give you more confidence. I'm glad to have lived these cherished moments there π§‘, and I'm sure, for any future volunteer who reads me, you will agree !
