Social media person in Hostel

The hostel is great for meeting international travelers, connecting with other volunteers, partying, and generally being social. However, I wouldn't recommend it for digital nomads or if you want to travel around the area a lot because as a volunteer you're expected to give a lot of time and volunteer for activities several times a week. I met some absolutely wonderful people, but ended up leaving early because I didn't have time for my online job like I thought I would.

This is a party Hostel. I had to leave early because I wasn't happy here. It was expected to lead events on off days and after working regular shifts. Everyone worked more time than agreed upon. Most people bought their own breakfast and lunch because the fridge was mostly empty. Dinner is provided. Most people were very welcoming, but management is intimidating. The work was simple, and the tasks were well organized. Staff beds and pillows were super stained, but I was given clean sheets. If you can overcome certain pressures, then you might enjoy your time here.

I loved it here! The people were amazing, the hours were respected, and I met so many amazing people. I had to leave early for personal reasons, but I am so grateful for my time here. I definitely recommend it, especially if you want to meet people from all over the world. The volunteer room is slightly rundown, but it soon becomes home and everyone respects each other in the room. Thank you to everyone at The Elephant's hostels for making my experience so good :)

I had a great time at Wild the hostel! My job was managing the social media, and Freddy was a really supportive and encouraging manager. The job was fun and challenging :) Overall, the experience was amazing and a bit overwhelming too, because we were all pressured to do daily activities and pub crawl every night, so I didn't have many alone times. Also, I don't like the idea of being looked at who I am with (it's not allowed to be with other volunteers), but that's what you agree on at the beginning. It's the perfect place for partying really cheap and a centric city to travel ;)

Thanks for the lovely feedback, Sandra, we really appreciate :)

To avoid misunderstandings, yes, we want you all to come here so you can get involved with other guests, join activities with them, and create an atmosphere when our bar opens at 8 pm, that's the reason for us having volunteers.

In this spirit, of meeting and involving guests in all of our activities, yes, if you decide to join us you will be asked from day one to not hook up with other volunteers so to prevent clickiness and loss of motivation toward who is actually important: the guests. We know we all make mistakes, especially after a few drinks, but repeating the mistake knowingly is just not ok. Have fun with guests tho :)

We want you all to be comfortable taking your deserved day or night off, but keep in mind that we'll still be pushing and inviting everyone to do and join everything as this is how we've been doing for the last ten years: all together as one group taking care of a place we live, like and love, involving the guests in all we do with the understanding that we came here to live and experience something different for a very limited time, so do enjoy and live everything as much as you can :) Most people leave us not believing that is time to go and wanting to come back, so Carpe Diem et Noctem :D

Safe travels to you all, stay wild and hydrated!

My stay at Urban was one that I definitely won't forget. I met so many amazing people, other volunteers and guests from all around the world. The moment i stepped in I was welcomed with open arms🫶🏻 However the social part can be overwhelming sometimes due to it being such a big part but you'll meet amazing people in the process and definitely will have fun!!💕 also I loved every vegan home cooked dinner i got to eat❤️🫶🏻

The Wild the hostel was such a fantastic experience! I met so many amazing people and had so much fun. If you're social and love to party, this is the place to be! There's also daily activities and dinner which is a great way to see the city and socialize. The work was easy and well scheduled. Absolutely would recommend!

As my first volunteering experience, the Wild the hostel was the best choice I could have made! The environment in the hostel is amazing and so much fun. You not only get to know so many interesting people from all around the world but actually connect with them, whether they are guests or volunteers. Every day we have multiple activities taking place, from Slovak lunches to the crazy and iconic pubcrawls. If you enjoy socializing and partying this is definitely the place for you! I enjoyed it so much that I ended up staying longer than it was expected and I can't wait to one day go back!

I volunteered at Wild the hostel and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The environment in the hostel is amazing and you end up connecting with volunteers and guests from all around the world. Every day we had activities going on and my favourite ones were the family dinners and the pubcrawls (yes, bratislava becomes a party city when you live in this place ;) ). I liked it so much that I ended up staying more days than what I was suppose to and I really hope to go back soon! If you like to party, socialize and have fun this is definitely a good option for u!
