Getting to know the other volunteers and staff here was definitely the highlight of my experience!! the sense of community is unparalleled here, and i am grateful to have had the opportunity to experience their warmth and varying personalities. tasks and hours were clear and respected, with many opportunities to bond with the team. i think my delayed arrival due to unforeseen circumstances could have been handled better, as well as increased guidance for newcomers from mgt, but all things considered, the hostel was a valuable first volunteering experience that i recommend to other travelers :)

I had the best experience in the hostel! The work here is pretty much easy so there's plenty of time to explore the place. Mica is a wonderful manager, as well as a good friend to me, she brings the team well together:) the hostel family are so nice to me and I feel so welcomed. Even we are from different part of the world, we bond with each other and had so much funnn! I'm so glad that I've got the chance to volunteer in the hostel and meet the best people in my life!

This was my second time volunteering at the hostel and it was incredible again, warming team, easy and clear tasks, good flexibility around shifts and most of all a place I can call home. I hope one day I can come back again. Love you papis y mamis.

I loved my experience at the hostel in Edinburgh. The people who work/volunteer here are so welcoming and kind. The work is not difficult and as long as requests are put in in advance, the schedule is flexible too. The space itself is comfortable and some parts are recently upgraded. The people you will meet here are always down for either a movie night or going Ceilidh dancing, you will truly be so lucky to have them introduced into your life! I wish I could have stayed longer!

Returning to the hostel for my second Worldpackers experience felt like coming home. It was amazing to reconnect with Mica and the team while meeting new people too. The sense of community, shared moments, and the city's charm made it just as special as the first time. I'm so grateful for this place and the memories it keeps giving me! ❤️

I live 3 weeks in the hostel and I comeback in my home with so much good memories ! The tasks are easy to understand, but you need to be disciplined for not forget some details. There is some days the work is the morning or the evening, sometimes it's light and sometimes it's more heavy. This correspond to the ad. You can ask every questions you like to the manager Mica or to the other volunteers. You need to be ok to live with other people and share a little space. This team is really great, they are kind and open minded. The place is perfect to spend time in Edinburgh.

Mica the manager was very kind, she allowed me to stay for a few days after a drama with another hostel happened to me so I could figure it out another place to volunteer. The staff is very nice and also very communicative, very fun and friendly, was a short stay but i have a lot fun, also a few nights the volunteers was doing some food for everyone and was amazing. The job is very easy to manage, also every will help and teach if you need, most the time is very fast so you have enough time to enjoy the city. Thank you Mica and the hostel.

The hostel was a social & supportive environment that immediately, upon my entering the hostel, made any anxieties I had about the experience melt away. The work is as described, the team is flexible with your needs and if you're conscious of how your actions affect others, you'll have an amazing time. I was brought on for housekeeping, but knowing that I was interested in social events and media, that quickly became a huge part of my job. I felt extremely comfortable being myself, and deeply cared for by everyone at the hostel. Briegh, Mica, Steph, Sarah, Seb, and everyone else, thank you.
