My six-week stay at the hostel in wonderful, Tallinn was great! Polina was helpful from our first call while I was in Brazil. I met many people, significantly improved my English, and loved the city. The job is (3 days/week) and you can learn in two or three days. The staff is always ready to assist. I continued my remote work easily thanks to the dedicated workspace. There are dinners and great weekend outings. I'd absolutely return. A big thank you again to Polina for everything!

Would recommend y all this volunteer experience! I was planning to stay for 3 weeks but finally I will stay 7 weeks. You meet international travelers, other volunteers and staff. The work is so easy and flexible, only 3 days per week, 8 hours, reception or cleaning shifts. I really enjoyed family dinners that are organized weekly, the friendship I built with the other volunteers and living in Tallinn old town. You have plenty of free time, a lot of food that arrives each wednesday, free pub crawls and discounts at the bar. Thanks for this experience!!

My time at the hostel was amazing! It was my second time going to this hostel and I can't thank them enough for the wonderful time I've had there. The team is amazing, always very helpful and reliable, easy to communicate and friendly. The work itself is not difficult and the time is good. We had a volunteer dorm room, very comfortable, and the kitchen is perfect, it has everything. The food is also very high quality. Other than that, I can say that the hostel is like a home and that I've met wonderful friends there that I will never forget and hope to see again! ❤️
