This includes a relaxed schedule of bed making, cleaning bathrooms and taking out the trash etc. We provide training and all equipment needed to make the work as easy as possible. No real experience required, just that you understand how important a comfy bed and clean shower is inside a hostel! Busy days are always supported by our own staff, so no worries. :)

Volunteering at the hostel was the best first experience I could ever ask for!! The atmosphere is welcoming, the team is kind and helpful, and I immediately felt part of the family. The tasks were well-organized, and there was a great collaborative atmosphere. Also, the hostel's location is excellent, allowing you to explore the city and meet people from all over the world!!!! The volunteers have a whole level for themselves which is really cool and allow you to relax between a shift and a pub crawl :). I can not recommend this hostel more, truly the best experience 🫶🫶

I had a great time volunteering here 😀! The staff and owners are amazing. They help you with anything you need and make you feel welcome from day one. The other volunteers were also very kind and created a wonderful atmosphere. The location is perfect, and the facilities are excellent. I'm leaving with great memories, and I truly appreciate the trust they placed in me during my stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone, whether you have previous volunteering experience or not. It's an incredible opportunity in a beautiful city to discover! Paldies 🇱🇻!

I had the best time at the hostel, from the moment I arrived I felt very welcomed and part of the hostel family. The accommodation for volunteers was very comfortable with our own common space and kitchenette. The work was very manageable and expectations were always clearly outlined. I would highly recommend volunteering with this awesome crew!

I could not have asked for a better experience at the hostel, everyone is truly the best and ensures you feel comfortable. The work is very easy and Alex helps you feel comfortable with all the tasks you do, you are never asked to do more than you agree upon which is amazing. Thank you for the best month and hope to come back❤️

I could not have asked for a better first volunteering time than the one I had at the hostel! The whole team is just fantastic! No question is too stupid and no request is too much; they bend over backwards to make sure you feel right at home! Everything is seamlessly organised from schedules to events and the communication from the team is absolutely second to none! The work itself is super rewarding and the perfect balance - your time is very much your own once all tasks are completed, leaving you with loads of time to explore! The whole volunteer floor is also second to none!
