The staff were welcoming and i felt at home. Everyone was friendly. I've made friends and had a great time. The work was easy and the hours were respected. There were multiple tasks but all really easy to learn. I shared the bedroom with two others volunteers and we had a bathroom. The hotel is located in Inverkeithing, a small town about 30 min ride from Edinburgh. The whole experience was amazing and I'd definitely come back!

Good things come around again, so this is my second time volunteering here. I'm once again grateful to the whole team for their unwavering support, for helping me with everything, for their positive attitude, and for making me feel at home again. I will definitely return if I have the chance. Working hours are respected. Breakfast is included. You can easily get to Edinburgh by bus or train (30-40 minutes).

It was a very enriching stay. The staff were always kind and welcoming, with a smile, which allowed me to practice my English with ease and gain more customer service experience. Savah, especially, was always attentive to everyone, very caring and loving

I really enjoyed sharing how each country where my volunteers live do birthday celebrations so differently.
Thank you for your kind words

My experience at the hotel in Inverkeithing was excellent! From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and part of the team. The tasks were varied but always easy to learn and manageable within the agreed schedule, which made the routine light and well-organized. The hotel environment is warm and provides a lot of learning about how a hospitality business operates. The team is always available to help, give tips, and guide when needed, making the volunteer experience even more enjoyable. Another big plus is the location. Inverkeithing is a quiet town, yet just a few minutes by train
