The hostel's was definitely an experience. This was my first time volunteering by myself and with my girlfriend. Julius was very good and always there when needed I also felt heard and understood by the rest of the staff here. The work is pretty chill just some house keeping and then activities which are super fun( pub crawls, triva night, folk dancing), and they did a great job showing me how to do everything. Latvia is such a nice place to be as well the old town is supper pretty and the night life. Is great. Overall I would highly recommend volunteering here!!

Our time at the hostel was amazing!! We stayed 4 super fun weeks. The owner Julius was always there if we had any kind of issues and he always tried his best to make our stay here a good experience. The whole team of the CS is super lovely, everyone is always smiling and super kind. The hostel itself is a very social place where you can interact with many travelers from all over the world. The work is easy, we did the housekeeping and the activity shifts. I would really recommend volunteering for the hostel!! Thanks to everyone who made our stay so unforgettable :)

I had an amazing time at the hostel's. It felt like a second home. The vibes in the hostel are super warm and family-like. The receptionists are incredibly kind and always helpful with any questions! Julius always took our preferences into account when making the volunteer schedule and explained everything very thoroughly during training, so everyone knew exactly what to do. This was my first volunteering experience and I'm really grateful for the time I had there!
