I had an absolutely incredible month at the hostel. Riga is such a fun city to explore and the hostel really brings the most amazing guests, who you can really get to know during the quieter season. The work tasks are easy to do and all the staff are so friendly. I appreciated that we could explore the other Baltic countries on days off and also that the volunteers have their own floor. Highly recommend this to any volunteer wanting a super social fun experience and to discover the underrated gem of Riga. 🐿️✨✨

I couldn't say a single bad thing about my stay here even if I tried. It has been by far my favorite volunteer position and I look forward to returning to Riga in the future. If you like socializing, making friends, and partying it up then I don't think theres a better place out there. There's things to do everyday so you wont be bored. The staff is amazing, other volunteers were amazing, and even the guests were always down to have a good time. 11/10 experience

My time in Riga was simply wonderful, I met incredible people inside and outside the hostel, I will always remember with great affection, Riga and Latvia as a whole is really surprising, before going I was thinking that I would find the food bad and cold people, but it is exactly the opposite, really very good food, and the people even better, I recommend it to anyone with their eyes closed, the hostel is fantastic and the work itself is quiet, there is plenty of free time to enjoy. Thank you to everyone, I hope I can have the opportunity to come back someday! 🇱🇻🐿️

This is one of the best volunteering experiences I have ever done❤️ the work is very easy and usually done quick as well and the staff is wonderful🫶 Riga is an amazing city and you get to meet so many awesome people even in low season. There are also a lot of opportunities to go to Estonia and Lithuania, or nice day trips to the beach. I'd definitely recommend going here to everyone! Miss you guys xx
