I had a great time at the hostel! I volunteered early in the season so I was able to spend time with Croatian students and learn about the local life. Vera did a great job introducing me to Zagreb, we went to outdoor concerts and hiked in the mountains. The work wasn't bad, I did mostly cleaning and my afternoons were free. It was fun welcoming the international travelers and hearing about their adventures. Vera always made sure everyone who passed through the hostel was welcomed with open arms and learned something about Croatia to take with them!

Vera was a welcoming and nice host. Even though it says food is not provided, she sometimes cooked us lunch and we also had a big barbecue! The work was relaxed mainly involving housekeeping and reception tasks. However, I feel the hours could have had more structure as no proper roster was made and I found it a bit disorganised. The hostel has a nice garden and it is also only a few minutes walk to the tram stop on route to the city centre. Zagreb is a nice city but it is small so I think a week or two weeks here is best. Overall though, a nice experience!

Zagreb as a city is a lovely place if you want a relaxing trip, there are lots of lakes and parks that are nice to spend time in, but not much to do in terms of nightlife. I didn't have a very good experience with Vera, she was harsh and rude at times and didn't make me feel very welcome at all. The work was mostly easy, we didn't stick to the agreed upon 5 hour shifts but with many volunteers there wasn't very much hard work. I would recommend this for meeting international travellers

Had a lovely time at the hostel! Vera and the staff was lovely, the hostel and garden super cozy and tasks were fun and reasonable. I had my own room and a lot of free time to discover Zagreb with other volunteers. Recommend to everyone!! <333

I had a really nice experience in the hostel. Vera received me when I needed to, and always treated me very well. She's kind, a great cook and a really strong woman. The hostel feels like home. You have your privacy, and, to be honest, I loved to spend time there with others volunteers and guests. Remember: you're going to work, so we need to do it! :) It's nice be at reception, talk with guests and help. I really recommend this experience.

This was my first experience working in a hostel. And it was so great! :)) Vera is a kind, generous, and hard working hostess! The team of volunteers who worked there with me were the best. I'll take the nights in the terrace with me forever! :) Thank you so much for everything! Recommend it very much! :)

My stay in the hostel was lovely! The work was super chill, and shifts were easy as we had many volunteers working in the hostel. Also Vera, the owner, is a really sweet person, and was looking after us all the time. We had some great chats over dinner and drinks, and she has some great stories to tell :) Thank you so much for everything! 💛

Really good experience, the hostel is super nice, the owner is very helpful and really try to enjoy and have good times worth the volunteers, it's a great opportunity to learn more about Croatia and the culture. The tasks were not difficult and the times was respect, I definitely recommend this place for anyone.
