On the odd occasion you may be required to help out a little bit longer then 3 hours but on other days it will be less, just depending on how busy we are. It generally all works out and we ask our volunteers to be flexible with this.

We expect all our world packers to treat our hostel as if it were their own home. Have respect for other staff and guests. Smoke/vape in designated area's only. Arrive 5mins before your shift starts, so you are ready to go.
