My stay at the hostel has been my first volunteering experience, and it couldn't have been better! The hostel is located in the city center, but if you want to explore, there are bikes at your disposal. Furthermore, Gustavo and Paula have been extremely helpful and clear with all the tasks. Undoubtedly, during your stay you will create a special bond not only with Gustavo and Paula, but also with the other volunteers. They made these experience unforgettable! To someone who is considering applying, I would encourage them to do so, since the memories build here are for a lifetime.

The hostel itself it's perfectly located, really neat and welcoming, plus everything it's highly comfortable. You can have privacy thanks to the curtains on your bed and the working hours are very well respected, and in my case for housekeeping, we didn't even got to do the 5 hours, though I believe it was because of the season I went. Yet for me, the best was the people, not only the boss, Gustavo, which was always checking up on us, but Paula as well, always helping us in housekeeping and being always patient. And maybe I was lucky, but I had the best group of volunteers with me.

My stay at the hostel was one of the best experiences I've had! It was my first time volunteering with WorldPackers so I was a the hostel weary at first but I needn't have worried. Both Gustavo and Paula made me feel so welcomed and comfortable since the moment I stepped foot in Enschede! They were an absolute pleasure to work with! In regard to the workload, I was working as Reception in the hostel. All of my tasks and responsibilities were laid out for me very clearly so I always knew what was expected of me. Additionally, if ever I had a question Gustavo was just a text away! 10/10!

The hostel made me feel at home from day one. I worked at the café: simple and pleasant tasks, a relaxed atmosphere, and fair hours always respected. Gustavo taught me everything with patience and really cares about making sure we have a nice, peaceful and satisfying experience, even beyond the work. The hostel is immaculate, central, cozy and full of positive energy. I met great people from all over the world and created memories that I will carry with me forever. If you want a safe place to be yourself and feel like family this is the place to be. I miss everything already. 💛

The experience here was amazing! It was my first volunteer and also a first stay at a hostel, and all the facilities are very clean and new that it feels very comfortable staying there. I worked as a receptionist and truly enjoyed meeting various guests and help them have a great stay. Gustavo and Paula are always there to help you with working tasks and also to have a better stay. Of course some things are simply not possible to change as your wish, but they always try their best for us to have a happier stay, and I'm thankful for that. Also heads up to my stunning teammates🫶
