The month I spent here was absolutely 10/10. I had the opportunity to discover how beautiful Holanda is while being with amazing people. The hours are well organized since you have all the day to organise another things. Catty is really a good supervisor who really cares about the well-being of other volunteers. Finally, I'm really greatful for having met people that is really kind and good souls.

This place is amazing - from the first moment I got there right until I left, it felt like home. Cathy and the other volunteers really make sure of that! The work: It is basic housekeeping work. My tasks were to prepare dorm rooms for arrival, vacuum, mop and clean toilets. In my experience, you will never be required to work more hours than agreed beforehand. The community: Both the owner of the hostel and the staff are amazing in what they do! Cathy does her job with absolute passion and commitment. You will notice that during your stay. In all, this was a perfect experience. 10/10

My experience was absolutely amazing. I really felt like home here. The staff is nice and friendly, Cat is a great manager and you can meet volunteers from all over the world. The work is not too difficult and you have a lot of free time to explore Den Haag. I would definitely recommend volunteering here.

My first volunteering experience couldn't have been any better. I got to stay at Will&the hostel for a couple of months, and in that time it really felt like a true home. The work is really easy and fun and with the hours you work, you can also balance it well with free time. Never be afraid to ask for help of the others, the sense of teamwork here is amazing. I would like to thank Cathy, Niek, the rest of the staff members and the amazing volunteers I got to meet during my time here for being so warm, openminded and supportive. This place truly has a special place in my heart!

4 weeks at Will&the hostel is not enough time! The place is cozy, clean and vibrant, but the people are what make it a great place where you want to stay. Cat is an incredible manager, always kind and smiley who welcomes you with open arms. There are a lot of volunteers, which come from all over the world, which makes it an amazing experience to hear some great stories. The work itself is easy and the tasks are straightforward (and communication from manager to team is really good). I would recommend this to everyone who want to meet great people and slow down for a bit.

This was not a cultural exchange but a strict housekeeping job. Tasks were intense, and the environment was cold, intimidating, and fear-driven. Many volunteers felt anxious and couldn't speak up. The managers behavior was harsh, and most of the real work was done by scared, unpaid volunteers. I left early due to emotional stress. If you're looking for a warm, flexible experience — please reconsider. This deeply affected me and others in my group. While I understand they have many positive reviews, I believe that fear and pressure may play a big part in that, not everyone feels safe to speak

Hi Mina,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced your time with us this way. Our work-and-stay program is indeed meant as an exchange: accommodation in return for helping out in the hostel. This also means we have certain expectations regarding commitment and quality of work, as we are still a hostel/hotel where tasks need to be carried out to a high standard.
To be honest, this is the first time in three years that we’ve encountered such a situation.
