Rules

- Take your job seriously. While you are, of course, here to enjoy yourself, you are here to help us run our hostel. Each and every volunteer has an important job to do and it's crucial that you do that job with care and responsibility.

- BE COOL :) You are a reflection of our business during your time here, you are expected to behave in a friendly and well-mannered way to other staff and customers.

- You need to stay for your agreed time. The job you do is extremely important to the running of our hostel. We ask for a minimum stay of 4 weeks. When you request a date, we work around that when we hire other volunteers so it's very important that you stay for your agreed time so that our hostel continues to run at its best.
