The hostel blew me away! The facilities are amazing — cozy rooms, clean bathrooms, great kitchen, café, and chill common areas. The work is super light: you're just supporting staff who handle cleaning and the café. I helped with sandwiches, coffee, dishes, beds — and even created content for their social media. You have full freedom to contribute how you like. The team is lovely, the vibe is so welcoming, and Minsk is a beautiful city. The location is perfect — right in the center, by the river. Also, most people speak English and communication is easy. 10/10 experience all around!

My experience at the hostel has been amazing. During this amazing time I could meet incredible friends, practice Russian, learn about culture and amplify my views on life overall. The staff is so supportive and friendly, always doing everything to make me feel welcome and comfortable there. The job is not very difficult and there's plenty of time to explore the beautiful city of Minsk, which became one of my favorite places. Lina was always very kind and helpful during the whole process of getting there and answering questions. I can't thank the hostel enough for the wonderful time!❤️

Well, It was my first such experience and I should say that I am quite happy for choosing the hostel! The staff, in general, was friendly and welcoming. Even though the working hours weren't that low, the work itself wasnt hard at all. And I am sure you will also develop new skills specially working at cafe just as me :) In addition, I recommend learning basic Russian as it will help you a lot. At the end, I definitely recommend this place for you!

Wow, this place is absolutely great. I signed up at the hostel for one month as a volunteer while exploring Belarus. I was working in the Coffee shop during the morning and helped the housekeeping staff later doing housekeeping and other things. May is a perfect month to visit Minsk and Belarus. The weather was great and you always have something to do when you're free from work. I would recommend you to speak and communicate in basic Russian, but English is not a problem either here. I won't forget the hostel :)

The hostel has enough staff, and I would recommend that volunteers discuss their duties in advance and perhaps show some initiative and creativity. Otherwise, as it was in my case, your presence might not really be needed. The accommodation is great, but meals are almost not provided, and there isn't really a kitchen. Overall, everyone is friendly and I would recommend the hostel for volunteers, but I would advise thinking in advance about what to do there.

It was my second time volunteering at the hostel. This year I was in a different role, mainly helping the maids to make the beds, and sometimes helping on the coffee shop. The staff at the hostel is nice and respectful and the hostel facilities are pretty good. Minsk in the autumn is a beautiful city with the trees in shades of yellow and red. Besides the cold and rainy weather, it was amazing.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the hostel. This place is just amazing. It is located in the center of Minsk and it is one of the best hostels I have been to. There is much space, great chill areas, a coffee shop.... The people are amazing and you get to know a lot of them here:) Trust me I will never be boring here. The work depends on how full the hostel is. There are people who speak English of course but I would recommend learning some Russian:)

The hostel was a really good place to volunteer at. The Hostel is new and modern and you have most of the things you'll need during your stay. The job was helping at the Cafe in the hostel and sometimes helping the maids with small tasks. In the cafe I mostly helped with washing the dishes. It was generally easy but could be harder on some days when the cafe was crowded. Overall it was a really good experience, Belarus is a beautiful country and Belarusian people are warm and helpful. I definitely recommend volunteering at the hostel.

The hostel is a nice place to stay, really well located, all the staff is polite and respectful and the facilities are pretty good (bedrooms, bathrooms, living area, garden). The only thing I missed was a bigger kitchen with oven and stove to cook. During my volunteering I helped in the morning shift in the hostel Coffee, the cafeteria that works inside the hostel. The tasks were pretty simple, like washing the dishes, cleaning tables and helping in some preparations. Minsk is a great city, very clean, organized, lots of green areas and nice people.
