It's the best volunteer I've ever been! The activities are easy and well organized. The city is beautiful, especially during the winter season but the best part is the staff and volunteers I worked with! I hope to comeback soon. Cheers.

My time at the hostel was awesome! I loved every second of it and I would definitely return. The whole place feels surreal, and you truly create a family-like atmosphere with the other volunteers and staff. Bruges is also an amazing place to visit! Loved the Halloween and Karaoke night. Steve is really understanding and if you have any questions you can just let him know! This was my first volunteering experience and I'm in love! Thank you so much for this. This is the kind of experience that lasts for a lifetime. I will miss it so much and I hope to be back soon!

I can't even put in words how amazing the hostel is. The people are all truly amazing and I can't wait to see them all again. The work is super fun and doable and since I mainly worked in the hostel I met lots of locals and in general funny people. Bruges is a beautiful city and I am glad I was able to life there for a month. This was my first volunteer experience and i couldn't be happier I really mean it when I say I think it can't get any better than the hostel. I miss everything already!!!
