I love volunteering at the hostel. The environment is organized, welcoming, and makes people feel like they belong quickly. The daily activities are simple and well-distributed, leaving plenty of free time to enjoy the city. Thank you again.

My experience at the hostel was incredible. The manager and staff treated me very well and always provided support when I needed it. The volunteer team was also friendly. The work had busier days and others that were much simpler, but overall it was very relaxed. They always followed what was agreed upon. The £20 weekly allowance helped a lot to save on meals, which was enough for me! The buildings and rooms were very good and super comfortable! I highly recommend this experience! Thank you to everyone at the hostel for being amazing to me!

I loved spending six weeks at the hostel. The tasks aren't difficult, and you have time to explore the city. The £20 a week is enough for food if you cook your own food. The room is spacious and shared with other volunteers. I want to thank Mariela and Csaba for the opportunity and for being wonderful, always willing to help. Thank you!

I would like to thank Mariela for allow me to repeat volunteering here 😘it was fun learning about the whole operation of hospitality in UK, in massive charity hostel like the hostel. Thank you also to the staffs, Csaba & Desmond for always being responsive to volunteers. I love the hostel, I left beautiful memories here; my room mate Elizabeth convert to Islam after 6 weeks of knowing me! & I falled in love with someone here♥️♥️ my feedback is only about practicing English, if let say more volunteer from native English speaker like USA, Australia, Canada & New Zealand, it would be more fun! 😍😍

This was my first volunteering experience and it was incredible.I had the opportunity of going to all the tourist places in London and also travel across different cities in the UK. The hostel it's not an tourist hostel, it's more like a residence, that wasn't a problem for me but it's something that you need to keep on mind. The tasks were easy but kinda heavy sometimes. The staff it's very kind and they made me feel like in home since day 1. Thank you so much to Mariela for accepting me and be always so kind with me. Thank you to all the amazing friends that made the experience way better 💖
