I'm really glad I got to stay here. I spent a month here, and the work wasn't too difficult. I had plenty of free time to talk with other volunteers and travel together, which I really enjoyed. The atmosphere was great, and everyone was friendly, so it felt very comfortable being here. It also helped me improve my English a lot, which I really appreciated. The manager was kind and supportive as well, so overall it was a wonderful experience.

My time at the hostel was as an indelible experience rich with opportunities to meet people and explore the City of Edinburgh. The workload was very well balanced with rostered shifts being clear and concise. The team were also super welcoming and friendly.

That's already my second review for the hostel because there's no choice but coming back after a first time there ! the hostel is a home for every volunteer and is a unforgettable experience. All the volunteers are beautiful souls and the hostel is the coziest and funniest place to stay. From the easy work to the super fun activities we organize all together. Every single day was so special and will stay in my heart. It was my second stay and I will keep coming back as much as I can. A big thank you to everyone for making this place so heartwarming I miss it already so much.

It was a fantastic experience! The work was easy and flexible. The team worked together in a very organized way, and everyone was highly responsible. After finishing our tasks, we had plenty of free time and all kinds of different activities. It truly felt like one big family — everyone was so kind and friendly. I met such wonderful people here, learned so many new skills, and grew a lot as a person. I'm really, really reluctant to leave.:)🧡☀️
