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

I had the most amazing month at the hostel. all the staff and managers are super nice and helpful, all the work that's expected of you is explained very well and if ur unsure just ask and they will gladly help. and all the perks you get are great - free stay in hostels in tallinn and vilnius, the free drinks every week, and a whole floor dedicated just for the volunteers. even in low season i had the best time, if ever there arent many guests in the hostel and the night events don't happen all the volunteers never fail to go out n party just us🫶

Volunteering at the hostel has been the best first experience I could ask for! The atmosphere is warm, fun and you will never be bored while staying here. Even if you go off-season there is many interesting guests and activities everyday. The staff and other volunteers are the best, everyone is so funny, kind and helpful. The work is simple and organized so you learn quickly. The schedule is fair and you have much free time to explore the city or go to tallin or Vilnius. The floor for the volunteers and free drinks is a big bonus. If you are looking for a social and fun experience this is it!

I had the best time at the hostel! So so sociable and always amazing fun! The pub crawls and free drinks are awesome. The team are so friendly and welcoming, and really listened to us (they even bought us all new mattresses!) There was also lots of free food. Riga is such an amazing place to spend time in. Saying that, my bag (with my phone) was stolen from a bar when I was there, but everyone was so lovely and helpful in the aftermath. The work is very chill, but it is worth knowing that you will have to take turns being on call for hostel emergencies over night. Thank you guys!!
