The hostel was the best first experience I could have asked for as a volunteer. The owners are very welcoming and make you feel very confortable from the start. They were always very clear and communicative about what they expect from volunteers, and they let the volunteers themselves organize the schedule. The hostel's atmosphere is social in just the right way, and they promote social activities led by the volunteers, which helps us meet new people and makes the experience more fun! I definitely recommend it to everyone. Not to mention the amazing bagels!

I had the best time at the hostel, everything was so organized from the training to the schedule, and the owners (and Yuli) were always so responsive if there were any issues, any time of day! The work is fair and also really fun, social but not party which is perfect for me. Running the social walks was the highlight for me! Thank you so much Linda and Steve, I'll definitely be back to visit in the future!

I really enjoyed my time at the hostel! The owners were always friendly, reliable and if there was an issue, they helped us out at any time :) you had a clear structure, you're able to create your own schedule with the second volunteer (the hours are provided) and communication was really good! You also get your own apartment which is shared with the other volunteer, and the shifts were always manageable (only the Sundays felt long sometimes because you cover the whole day). All in all I can recommend!!

As a first experience, it couldn't have gone better. the hostel has an amazing team, I always felt welcomed, and everyone is always ready to help! I was surrounded by honest, easygoing people, always with a smile on their faces and a wealth of knowledge to share 😊 I easily came to call the hostel home, and I'll definitely be back, even if just to say hello
