Good first Worldpackers experience. Volunteers work hard and do similar tasks to the staff (with less responsibility), It's not for those looking to do little and get lots in return. The environment is international and welcoming, and I made genuine connections both with fellow volunteers and staff <3 Housing (team dorm and bathroom) and food (weekly groceries and equipped kitchen) were good, though the place feels more like a hotel than a hostel. Aarhus is quiet in winter but very pretty. I recommend it for personal growth, and if you're looking to build a routine in a home away from home.

I spent a lovely stay in Aarhus at the hostel! I met really kind volunteers and staff; everyone was friendly. The work was easy, and there was enough free time to explore the hostel. Nevertheless, Aarhus is a bit small for a month-long stay, but we found ways to spend time together with the other volunteers. The work schedule was flexible, we had all the food we needed, and the volunteers' room had curtains around each bed. I truly felt part of the team. During my stay, I was able to improve my English skills and also practice Spanish. Thank you very much for this experience!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. The working hours are 4–5 hours a day with two days off per week. The tasks mainly consisted of keeping the guest rooms and bathrooms clean. During the evening shift you are also available by phone to answer guests' questions. The staff are all very friendly and always willing to help. The atmosphere in the hostel is very calm as mostly school classes stay there for a few days. The other volunteers became good friends during my time there. Thank you for the great experience!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel in Aarhus! The tasks were very manageable and I found the scheduling system to be convenient and easy to understand. When I had any questions or concerns, whether it was about the specific work tasks or just general questions during the stay, there was always someone easily accessible that I could talk to. The whole staff was friendly and welcoming and the other volunteers were equally great and truly made the stay a memorable time. It was easy to settle in and find a routine here. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone :)
