The Experience

In our hostel, we've long relied on volunteers to make ends meet. Many people have started with us and ended up moving to Tromso. We're right in the middle of the city so it's easy to getting around. The tasks are mostly to tidy up the rooms and common areas, and some laundry is also expected. Weekly we clean the fridges of leftover food and do deep cleans. Reception and helping guests if they have any questions and that's pretty much it! :)

The stay at the hostel in Tromsø was absolutely amazing. It being my first world packers experience, so I was quite nervous before coming here. However, I was absolutely well taken care off by the hosts and other volunteers. The atmosphere in the hostel is very cozy and comfortable and it is easy to get into contact with people. Additionally, the schedule is respected and the working hours are very flexible, which means that there is enough time to explore this beautiful part of the world!!!

I absolutely loved my time at the hostel! Naoko and Robin are doing an amazing job at creating a social and cosy atmosphere, the hostel feels like home and the team is family! The hours are really reasonable and flexible, that leaves a lot of time to explore Tromso. The city is beautiful with a lot of activities to do as well! I wish I could have stayed longer and I hope to come back and visit soon! If you're thinking about volunteering here, go for it!! I'm gonna miss Burger the most, he is the best of the good boy ! Thank you Naoko and thank you Robin for having me!

My time at the hostel was truly incredible. From the start, the team made me feel at home, and the place itself was pure charm with breathtaking views. Every part of my stay exceeded expectations. The friendly vibe made it easy to connect with guests and staff quickly. Plus, the volunteer tasks were a breeze, often taking less time than expected, giving me plenty of time to explore Tromsø. Saying goodbye was tough— I already miss the awesome people I met. Overall, it was an amazing experience!
