I went back to CB for a few months this year (after volunteering for 6 last year) and ended up staying for so long that I'm sure they almost started charging me rent. I truly felt home and the adaptation was easy as can be. Staff members welcomed me well on both times. Location makes it easy to explore, and I met amazing people from all over the world - some of them became good friends and I'm 200% sure they will be with me for my entire life. Just remember to leave before someone says that you became part of the furniture - thanks for that, Harry. 10/10 would overstay again!

I could not recommend volunteering at CBO more. I cannot put into words how much I learned from this place and the people I met here. Harry is both a brilliant manager and a dependable friend to everyone, I felt comfortable coming to him with anything. The hostel is welcoming, in a gorgeous location only 50 minutes from London, and truly felt like a home to me. Like most of the volunteers I met, I extended my stay to 4.5 months. I have nothing but good things to say.

It was one of the best decisions of my life. I immersed myself in volunteering because I wanted to improve my English, both comprehension and speaking, as well as my confidence, in a more dynamic way. However, I ended up gaining much more than that. I made many friends, experienced invaluable moments, and grew a lot as a person. Each person is a lesson, not just in English, but for lifeβ€”from Harry who is a very good leader, to the more complicated guests. I definitely recommend the hostel for its atmosphere, the city for its charm, and the country for its culture. NOW I LOVE CENTRALBACKPACKERS

I had a fantastic time at the hostel! I extended my stay twice and was very sad to leave. It's a very inclusive, positive environment and the shift patterns are very flexible so you can make the most of your time in Oxford. There are high expectations for your quality of work, but that all contributes to the overall high standards of the hostel, and it is easily the best-run hostel I've worked at. I wish I could have stayed longer but all good things must come to an end, and I can't recommend it enough!

The hostel has been the most fun experience of my life. I had met lifelong friends and was honestly so hard to leave them. Harry is a formidable leader and an even better boss. He balances the role of being a friend and a good manager perfectly and is always a good time to be around. Will most definitely be back in Oxford for the sole reason of visiting the hostel. I could not recommend this place more to anyone interested in volunteering. The hours are great The people are better, and if you are like me, a terrible cook, Harry will teach you.

Couldn't recommend CB Oxford enough! The other volunteers have been some of the coolest people i've ever met and have made this place feel like home and incredibly difficult to leave. 24 hours of work a week is respected and days off and times are generally flexible for small trips or other obligations. None of the work is too demanding, just general hostel tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and checking people in. The manager, Harry, is great and makes sure everyone is doing okay and having a good time. Oxford is beautiful and I highly recommend this experience!!

I truly had the best time here within the hostel since it's a three month volunteer you really connect to the other volunteers, they become like family made some of my favourite memories here. The manager Harry is truly a very caring person if you sick or wanting to do some travelling he's very accommodating. I can proudly say him and the volunteers I was with are going to be some of my life time friends.

There's no words to describe the amazing experience I had at the hostel. They don't give you just a place to stay and work, but also the opportunity of getting to know and make connections to people from all over the world, exchange cultures, learnings and art. For me there's nothing as valuable as that All the team have a special space in my heart, I've made so much valuable friends that became family. Amazing fun memories with them! I've learned so much and improved so many skills, I'm very very grateful and would recommend it to anyone! Loved to be part of the CBO team πŸ’›πŸ’™
