RMB was my first Worldpackers experience and it was amazing! The hostel offers a lot of activities, it's cozy, the work is super easy. Kat and Jade are so lovely, you can ask them anything if you have questions about the work. After one week I was sure I wanted to extend my stay here, because it's like finding a new family here <3

The hostel has such an an amazing atmosphere. Coming back to the hostel truly felt like I was returning home to my family. Everyone is always there for you and I can only hope to have a similar experience in other hostels I visit!

I had the best time at the hostel. The volunteers, the guests and Kat and Jade were all lovely. I have made some friends for life. The work was very easy and every night there were events on which allowed lots of opportunities to meet new people. If you have the chance to volunteer here you 100% should! Thank you so much again for giving me the best experience.

I loved my time at the hostel Miles the hostel! The management team was so kind and welcoming and always caring about the volunteers. The workload is very fair, light and does not take a lot time at all which leaves you with time to explore Edinburgh. The hostel is located in the heart of Edinburgh and gives a cozy, personal atmosphere. There are events on every night, ranging from a big pub crawls and nights out to movie nights and cook ups. You will definitely get to meet very nice people from all around the world and a lovely team of volunteers. I can not recommend this hostel enough!

This was my first time volunteering, and it could not have gone any better! I was greeted warmly by both management and volunteers the instant I came through the door. I love the atmosphere that Jake and Kat work so hard to create at the hostel, it feels like a little home away from home, encouraging a strong sense of family among the staff and volunteers. The work itself is very light and easy, the hours were exactly as discussed sometimes even less! I am truly grateful for my experience here, cannot recommend the hostel enough!

My time at the hostel was better than I could ever have expected. Jake and Kat are such wonderful hosts, who ensure that guests + volunteers alike feel safe, comfortable and welcomed. They foster a true sense of family at this hostel, which is as clear as day, given the sheer number of return volunteers they have. All the other volunteers I met over my 5 weeks here were so full of life, stories and adventure, and I can safely say that I have made some very true friends for life. I am very grateful for my experience here, as it was one like no other. I cannot wait to return soon!

There aren't enough words to express how much I have loved my stay at RMB. The work is simple and usually gets done early. There are always events going on to take part in ceilidh, pub crawl, cook up. As for the other volunteers I have made extremely close friends that I will talk to forever. It is a little wee hostel that just feels like home instantly. It becomes a family and a home for all of the volunteers. And Kat and Jake are always there to support you in anything you may need or any questions you have. I will never forget my experience there.

Everyone was so welcoming and it was impossible not to get to know and like them. The work is efficient and you often work less than 2h/day. The hostel is a nice place to hang out - well decorated and good light. They're really invested in making guests and volunteers stays as comfortable as possible. There's Tupperware, spices, and cooking oil. People leave behind food and hair products and soap in free boxes. There are free pads and tampons. Also, you can request a specific day off and you can get more than one day off per week if you help with events or cook for the hostel.

Our time at the hostel was beyond what we would ever expect. You are welcomed with open arms and treated as family right away. Jake and Kat make it easy for you to enjoy your time in Edinburgh whether that's enjoying the night life with live music and pub crawls or adventures through the highlands, no matter what you are looking for they will ensure your needs are met. The connections made at the hostel will last forever between guests, volunteers and locals. I'm so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to volunteer at this gem of a hostel. RMB has my heart forever.

This being my first ever Worldpackers experience, I did not know what to expect once I arrived at this hostel. Right from the start, I was greeted with open arms and could not recommend this place more (especially for first-timers). The atmosphere, encouraged by Jake and Kat, is very welcoming, creating a strong sense of family and a home away from home. The location is perfect and the daily tasks are very simple. This is definitely the highlight of my five month backpacking trip!
