I had a really good time at the Friendshiphouse! 95% of the guests rent the rooms for months/years. I made friends with the other volunteers and we went out for exploring London together. Everyone is really nice!! The work is exactly how described, cleaning/deep cleaning rooms/common areas/kitchen, hovering floors. You will have a private room and volunteer kitchen. They help you with £20 each week for groceries shopping. It's an amazing location too, bus and train nearby. I recommend :)

I really enjoyed my experience at the hostel. The tasks were easy and comfortable — mostly cleaning. The staff and managers were very friendly and always helpful. Paulo, one of the managers, was especially kind and supportive. When I got sick one day, he was very understanding, allowed me to rest, and genuinely cared about my well-being. The hostel is in a great central location, close to everything and easy to get around. Overall, it was a positive, relaxed, and welcoming experience. I would definitely recommend it

Volunteering at the hostel London was a great experience. The location is perfect ,right in the heart of the city and close to all the main attractions. The team is friendly, multicultural, and always supportive. I received clear training, learned new skills, improved my English, and felt very welcomed. A great place to meet people from around the world and get to know London.

I highly recommend this volunteering experience. The team at the hostel is amazing. Everyone welcomed me so well...Paolo, Emmanuel, Deivi, and Judith were always willing to help and teach. The accommodation is very good, and the hostel's location is excellent. Being able to experience London this way was truly great. I already miss being there… The schedules are always organized properly, and the work is manageable, though not always easy. I would definitely volunteer there again. Thank you for the opportunity.

I had a very positive experience. The host was attentive, organized, and made my stay feel light and easy. I'm grateful for the warm welcome and the care in every detail. The tasks are simple to follow, and the whole team is very supportive, which makes everything smoother. The accommodation is comfortable, the help we receive is truly worth it, and the location is beautiful you can explore so many places nearby. I truly recommend it and I'm very, very grateful for the experience I had during this period. :)
