I had a good experience volunteering here. The tasks were easy and straightforward, mainly general housekeeping and a few odd jobs around the place. Johnny and Katrin are lovely hosts. Communication was simple and mostly done via text. I'd recommend this position to other volunteers 😊

I had a great time in York! The accommodations aren't what's shown in the picture, but it's a cozy dorm with a triple bunk bed and a well stocked kitchen. I became friends with my fellow volunteers, and enjoyed my days off. On working days, sometimes it could be stressful getting all the washing done on time, but for the most part it wasn't an issue. Johnny and Katrin were lovely, though I didn't see a lot of them.

My stay here was really nice! It was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't have had it better here! Jonny and Katrin are lovely people and very respectful. The hours were respected and the communication was good too. Thank you again!! :D

York is a lovely city. Everything looks like it came out the guest house movie, when in fact it was the other way around. The placement is a few minutes from the city, but it's not far at all — totally normal. The space where the volunteers stay is small, but it's comfortable. It's a triple bunk bed; there's a sofa and a wardrobe for us to store our things. The kitchen is very small, but it has pretty much everything we need. They go grocery shopping every week, and if you need more or want to change a brand or flavor, you can ask. The activities depend on the day. They always treat everyone well.

I had an amazing time here! The workload was super light, the most I ever worked in a day was about 2.5 hours. Johnny and Katy are incredible hosts; they always came by with groceries every week and checked up on us to make sure everything was going great. This place is perfect if you want to take a relaxing break while still being close to everything. York isn't huge, but it's big enough for plenty of things to do and places to shop. It's only a 20 minute walk from the guest house to the city center. Honestly, Johnny and Katy are the best hosts I've ever had!Hoping to come back in the future!
