I had a great time at the hostel and Estonia, two months sharing life in a cozy and fun hostel. The work is pretty chill in the wintertime, not many beds to make and only three days of work per week, which leaves plenty of free time. They provide all the ingredients to make your own food every day, and also €10 per day for a volunteer to prepare dinner, which helps a lot. Overall, a 10/10 experience. My only complaint is about the volunteers beds, they're made of very cheap metal and make a lot of noise when someone moves.

I enjoyed my time at the hostel the tasks are easy and you have a lot of free time to discover around or meet new people. The members of the stuff are friendly and was a good group of volunteers.

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing. I worked only 3 days a week, which gave me a lot of free time to explore Tallinn and travel around Estonia. The hostel is located right in the Old Town, so everything is close and easy to reach. The work is very easy and well organized: preparing beds for check-ins and keeping rooms, common areas, bathrooms, and the kitchen clean and tidy. Many times you can even finish earlier. Polina is super kind, fun, and flexible, and working with her really feels like being at home. I totally recommend this volunteering :)

My experience at the hostel was fabulous. I had a really great time there, and Polina was a fantastic host, almost like a friend. She was really easy to get along with and the work hours were quite flexible as well. Given that the hostel is right in the old town, you felt as though that you were stepping into a charming medieval fairytale. I'm also grateful for the few friends that I've made there and I'll come back sometime in the future. I'll miss this place and aitäh!!
