This was my first volunteering stint and it was super fun doing it at the hostel! Guests were amazing and met so many other travellers across the world. A small thing that I want to mention that is thatI wasn't expecting that I will be cleaning the CBD bar next door (I was under the impression that it will just be cleaning the hostel). So, applicants should take note of this if you are applying for this role here! Otherwise, volunteers had their own room and toilet, breakfast was plenty everyday and hours are respected (could even finish up early some days!)

I had a pretty good experience, meeting other travelers and hanging out with them was the best part. Beds were super comfortable. The job I had was painting the bar and the work was explained well it was just sometimes hard to find them when you had questions. I also stayed in a guest room and not the volunteer room and it would have been nice to know before had as my experience wasn't quite the same as everyone else's. Either way I had a nice time

I had a good time here. Since I was a painter, I stayed in a room with guest rather than the other volunteers which I wish I knew beforehand. Our hours were flexible so we painted 6-10am and 1-5am one night. Our task was to paint a weed bar (just a small detail to consider). We got all our general instructions from Anja's sister so we started on our own in the mornings, but we didn't always see her, so there was some unclarity. The hostel is VERY clean and cozy with good breakfast. There is enough time to explore during your free time, and meeting others is the best part.

The work is mostly fair and as agreed to, and was a good learning experience for me. the other volunteers were definitely the highlight of my time there!! <3 due to the location/prices, a lot of older locals stayed at the hostel, moreso than young travellers. communication between staff and volunteers definitely needs improvement, i've offered more private feedback to the host. also it's also not clear in the worldpackers posting that all roles involve going into the bar (full of ppl smoking indoors), this would've changed my decision to apply as i have mild asthma and am prone to headaches

The hostel is a nice place to meet new people and make connections. During my time there, I became friends with so many cool and creative people from all over the world. We did different activities together and ofc loved our UNO nights. Forever grateful for that! The work itself is easy and matches with the hours that are given in description. Like every hostel there are so good things and also things that need improvement. There are some extra tasks which are not mentioned in description. As my first experience in World packers, I am glad that I went there. 😇

Fair exeperience for your first worldpackers try - it has its good and bad sides. The people I met here were amazing and we had a group vibe of doing things together and helping with each others tasks. It was the people that made this experience so good. The schedule is planned well and you had a rotation of rooms + extra tasks daily. Try to check with the team for logic of your days off though. The hostel also manages a cbd bar so some taks come from there which is weird. Would have appreciated for more transparency, appreciation and communication from the management team. Good luck!

The hostel treated us as workers and not as volunteers, during my time there I didn't talk to the staff for anything other than work related, my time there was only good because the volunteers were incredible. The work for me was ok, but it can be very tiring. Even so, I thank you for the opportunity, everything is a learning experience :)

I only stayed for a few days in the hostel, but either way it was amazing to met people from all around the world. We made a great team work all together and we helped each other all the time. Work in the hostel is was easy to do and also fun.

My experience was quite good, housekeeping is hard work on busy days but the tasks are not difficult, also working hours were respected as scheduled and you are able to store your food, cook your meals and wash your clothes. The best part of it was the working team :) I would strongly suggest they organize some bonding activities since I think that's the spirit of volunteering besides saving a little money, maybe a pizza night all together and some lessons on basic croatian would be nice also. All in all it was a nice experience :)
