The Experience

Hostel Bad Salzig is a small hostel for up to eight guests. Right next to the Hostel there are eight alpacas you are also very welcome to help with (checking hay and water, mucking out or join guided tours). In summer and holiday season it can get quite busy, in the hostel as well as with the alpacas. That means there are always new people to meet and talk to. Nevertheless you'll have plenty of time to explore the region on your own.

My experience volunteering in Bad Salzig was even better than expected. the hostel is such a beautiful area (especially on Autumn), Andreas is such a kind and helpful host. I highly recommend this Worldpackers experience, and I would've stayed longer if I could!

I spent two weeks volunteering here and it was honestly my favorite volunteering experience so far!!! The work was super manageable—just daily cleaning stuff, nothing too hard. The hostel's in this cute little town (Bad salzig) that's so perfect for chilling out and slowing down. Andreas was such a kind host, always super generous and welcoming. Walking the hostel was the best part, a unique fun activity! I'd totally go back in a heartbeat. Loved it!!!!

Me and my friend had such a fantastic time at the hostel Andreas was a lovely host and was always so friendly and welcoming!! The sleeping area was great just enough room for everything and the work was easy to get on with as well! We were also given a guest pass which gave us so much freedom to explore the local area and saved us so much money especially considering the bud and train were very close by! It also allowed us access to the public pool in Boppard which was lovely!! We have such an amazing experience here and will definitely miss it now we are home :))

It was my first trip with Worldpackers and I had the best time in Bad Salzig. Andreas is such a welcoming host, always there to help. The tasks are simple, and you have the rest of the day to yourself. the hostel is stunning, there's so much to do for everyone: hiking, visiting castles and bigger cities with museums etc. And just taking in the scenery. You get a guest ticket so you can travel for free in the area. I also joined free alpaca tours, they are simply wonderful creatures!! I really recommend this experience, I feel very happy and grateful to have been there❤️‍🩹
