Being volunteer in the hostel was such an amazing first experience ! I'm so grateful to all, managers and volunteers, who were very kind and welcoming since the first day. I felt like a member of a big family. The tasks are easy and the work hours are always respected. The hostel is really well located in the city center and you have plenty of time to walk around the city, or to go to the events organized by the hostel ! I recommend 100% this place, can't wait to come back !

My experience at the highstreet hostel was amazing. Everyone made it feel like a home away from home. The tasks were easy and fair. And there was always good communication. I had a great time exploring Edinburgh and enjoying the beautiful city. Thank you so much for everything!

This was my first volunteer experience and it was really amazing! The volunteers who were with me were just amazing, I made a lot of friends. The managers: Luke and Miguel are respectful, explain what needs to be done clearly, are people willing to answer questions and open to listening to volunteers. As for the accommodation, the common areas are really good. And something I liked is that the working hours are chosen by the volunteer, this is amazing, because it allows you to work at the hostel and still get to know the city that is beautiful. I recommend this experience!

It has been such a nice experience being at the hostel. I felt like I was at home from the very first day thanks to the rest of the volunteers working there and guests staying at the hostel. Easy work and plenty of free time to enjoy the city and the rest of Scotland. I will for sure recommend this experience. Scotland has exceed my expectations. Thanks HSH team!!

Voluntariar en el hostel fue una experiencia increíble. Desde el primer día te integran como parte de una familia. El staff y los voluntarios son lo mejor, siempre amigables. Los turnos son flexibles (en su mayoría de 11 a 1), así que tienes el resto del día libre para disfrutar Edimburgo o visitar otras ciudades cercanas. Además, todos los días hay actividades: pub crawls, noches de juegos, etc. El ambiente es muy social y te sientes como en casa. ¡Recomendadísimo! Es para estar más de un mes sin sentir que estás apurado por moverte, incluso buscar algo más a largo plazo

Uma experiência sensacional! Foi meu primeiro voluntariado e me senti super acolhida, sempre estavam dispostos a ajudar, inclusive fiquei doente na estadia e foram super compreensivos. O trabalho é cerca de duas horas por dia, mas é flexível e tu pode trabalhar mais horas num dia para conseguir folga. O trabalho pode ser cansativo, mas muito tranquilo e o Miguel sempre faz questão de explicar bem e não precisa ter medo de perguntar.

A pesar del tiempo que estuve la verdad la experiencia de este hostal es lo mejor🤩. Las tareas son muy fácil y tienes tiempo libre de sobra para conocer Edimburgo y sus alrededores, desde el día uno me sentí bienvenida por el staff, todos siempre están con la mejor disposición de ayudarte🙌🏼 y me gusta que todos los días hay juegos o actividades y así conoces más personas, súper recomendado!
