Unstable experience and hierarchical treatment, not recommended From the beginning, I noticed instability: one volunteer was asked to leave early, and later two others were asked to leave with just 48 hours' notice and no chance to talk. Tasks were demanding, even when I felt sick I was told to continue. Before leaving, they hint they'll rate you well if you do the same. I felt a lack of empathy and communication. The treatment was hierarchical and distant. This experience does not reflect Worldpackers' values. I recommend reviewing carefully before applying.

My experience at the hostel was really positive! I found great, nice and welcoming people that will leave me something for sure, so I'm really grateful for that! The work is easy and the hours are carefully respected. The food also is enough for everyone. Aarhus is a beautiful, cozy the hostel :) Maybe sometimes there were weird vibes with some part of the staff, but it didn't really influence much my stay.

The hostel is in a great, central location, they provide lots of groceries for the volunteers every week, and the hours and work are as expected. Mily is also very responsive and friendly. But the hostel itself feels more like a hotel. There is no night-shift reception worker. So, when guests had issues at night, it fell on the volunteers to figure it out, even if we weren't on shift. It was hard to connect with other volunteers as many of them spoke predominantly spanish, and there was only one planned activity for us. Overall, they seem to be working to improve the expirence for volunteers.

I had a great time at the hostel! I was quite happy because I was looking for a chill esperience and a quiet atmosphere so it was definitely what I got. I would say that if you're looking for something more social or dynamic this might not be what you're looking for. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and the people I met and worked with!

Overall, I enjoyed my time at the hostel. Much can be improved in welcoming volunteers, creating a more collaborative environment and being more present. My advice would be to regularly hold meetings with volunteers. The owners were not involved at all in welcoming volounteers, and are not always nice towards workers; Magali, head of housekeeping, is amazing and understands the limits of volunteer work; Guido and Emilia are fantastic and always respectful; even though some situations were not dealt with in the best way, Mily and Sine, who manage volounteers, seemed to be open to advice.

It was my first volunteering experience, and it couldn't have gone better. The hostel is centrally located, and Aarhus is very beautiful. The work is very manageable because shifts are communicated weeks in advance, allowing you to plan trips outside the hostel. The food is also great because groceries for the volunteers are done about once a week. If you want to have your first volunteering experience, I believe this is the best place.

The experience was good, I've had the schedules for every week in advance, the work wasn't that hard and Lillian gives volunteers the chance to spare a lot of money by buying food for us every week. I thank Lillian so much for making me stay here one more month and I worked very good with Sine and Sia. During my free time, because of the good position of the place I've had the chance to explore the whole Jylland and to have fun at night in the hostel centre.

I had a great experience volunteering here! The routine is easygoing, with the work schedule provided in advance, and tasks are manageable. The location is perfect, right in the hostel center, surrounded by bars and activity. It can be a bit noisy sometimes, but the hostel has so much to offer that it's easy to enjoy time off.
