My time working reception at the hostel was truly a wonderful experience. The work is easy and every night everyone is always up at the hostel hanging out or playing beer pong. If you're looking for a 5-star accommodation this is not the place for you but it's worth it knowing you will come away with friends for life ;)

It was absolutely fantastic! All the people I've met were great, starting from my managers through employes and other volunteers. I'mnsure ive met friends for life. The job wasn't too demanding , once you get a hang of them it's easy. I loved my colleagues and they made every shift fun. As for accommodation and food everything was great, and other benefits made my life easier and better. I could not recommend this place enough. I'm very grateful to come across them and I will be coming to stay and volunteer with them again cause I liked it so much! 💛💛💛

I was originally going to work at the hostel for 3 weeks. i ended up staying for 4 weeks. all the volunteers and managers made me feel welcome and part of the team. i worked behind the hostel and the work was really fun. we were given a lot of freedom but had to work hard on busy nights, which I think makes it fun. this was my first volunteer experience and i loved it. i think the hostel is pretty high for me now to work at such a nice place again. would definitely recommend this hostel.
