Volunteer - Help us create great hostel while exploring Edinburgh

I am so immensely grateful for my first ever volunteering experience, as I loved every moment I spent at the hostel. The staff and the other volunteers are incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home from the first day on. There's so much going on socially - nights out, daytrips, game/movie nights, you name it. The housekeeping tasks were easy, the hours reasonable, and as soon as you're done with your tasks for the day (even if your shift technically hasn't ended yet) you're free to explore Edinburgh, which I thought was a really generous system. I would love to come back one day ❤️

The hostel is an amazing place, the staff truly welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home from the very first day. They are a very social hostel and strive to get the staff and guests to work together to create opportunities to explore local places and get involved in the community. Overall I am so thankfully that this was my first experience and I will definitely be going back!

The hostel was my first worldpackers in the UK and the vibe/energy there is very warm and inviting. It is very easy to make friends and also a lot of options if you are a solo venturer:) Mica and Steph are really easy to talk to about any questions/concerns aswell which is key in such a busy place! I would definitely do it again!!

I had an amazing month at the hostel. The management and "long term" team are incredible. They really respect your time and hard work, and acknowledge that you are probably there to travel and see the sights, so can be flexible with your days off if needed. The hours are reasonable and if you work hard, some days are only a few hours and you get the rest of the day to enjoy. I would highly recommend and I have already booked in to come back.

If you're looking for an amazing first experience with Worldpackers, the hostel is the place to go! The work, the team, the vibe, and the city were exactly as I hoped they would be and much more. As for the work, the shifts are pretty easy and allow plenty of free time to explore the city while making unforgettable memories with the other volunteers. The staff and managers are incredibly understanding and patient. By the end of my stay, I felt completely comfortable and at home in the hostel. Thank you, Stephanie and Micaelyn, for this amazing opportunity and experience. 100% recommended!

My stay at the hostel was a wonderful experience, the people I met there have given me and taught me so much. The work is simple, even though sometimes (depending on the day) it can be repetitive, but you can always count on the staff's help and advice. Both Stephanie and Micaelyn are amazing managers, as they're communicative, understanding and kind. Recommended 100%

Stephanie and Mica were always welcoming, communicative and supportive of all of us. Any questions or concerns were always addressed and the environment at the hostel was cozy and chill too—many activities to attend and always someone joining in. Also, the hostel's location is great either to hang around Edi or take a train anywhere else.

What an amazing time there! Everything was perfect, and I couldn't dream of better for my first volunteering experience. First of all, with its perfect location, you will be able to enjoy both the culture and nightlife of Edinburgh during your free time since we usually work 4 hours a day at the hostel. Regarding this work, the instructions are really easy to understand, and the team is always here to help you in any case. Last but certainly not least, let speak about the ambience at the hostel. Where can I start? The team, staff members, and managers create a home away from home
