Discover Edinburgh at the city's original Backpackers Hostel

This was my first time volunteering at a hostel, & I would absolutely do it all again. The management and allocation of each daily task was clear and thorough. All volunteers were happy to help one another with daily jobs as well as learning new tasks. The accommodation is in a prime location in the Old town of Edinburgh. Having the opportunity to participate in weekly hostel events was a great way to make connections with travellers from far and wide. I highly recommend HSH to anyone looking to experience a new pace of travel & to embrace your authentic self.

My experience here was everything I could have asked for when volunteering at a hostel! The work & accommodation were exactly as expected and the other volunteers/staff were so welcoming from the moment I walked in the door. I only wish I could have stayed longer!!

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I loved every second of it. The staff and other volunteers at the hostel really made me feel like part of the family. the hostel felt truly like a home, it was so cozy and also a lot of fun. The work was good, not too hard and I was left with a lot of time to explore Edinburgh, see other places in Scotland or just stay in and rest. Overall an amazing place to volunteer at :)

The experience was wonderful! With a relaxing atmosphere and great accommodations, it was a pleasure to volunteer at the hostel. There, I had the opportunity to meet guests and volunteers from many countries, which helped me improve my English and social skills. As for the work shifts, scheduling was seamless as it was done online, with a rotating choice system, offering options for various hours. Overall, I do recommend it (:

What can I say! I've never felt more at home. Dara and Miguel are the coolest managers ever! I'm extremely thankful to be given the chance to have collaborated in this hostel. From day 1 they clearly showed me what and how to do the tasks assigned. I also loved all the benefits for being a volunteer which made my first time volunteering a bliss. I have never had as much fun and made such a numerous family like I did here. I loved meeting people from all over the world with lots of crazy stories and amazing personalities. Truly an amazing experience! love you all!

Volunteering at HSH is always a gif! The staff are wonderful, the hours are fair, the location is sublime. This is the 2nd time that we have been welcomed by this worldwide family, and how wonderful it was to be welcomed back by you guys! ❤️ I recommend this place to everyone, you will have the chance to visit the main cities of Scotland and even adventure through the Highlands (because the same company organizes AMAZING tours), in addition to making many friends, some of them for life, and creating memories unforgettable. Tnks Dara, Miguel, Elizabeth, Fraser, Rebecca, Raj, Syed, everyone! xx

My experience at the hostel was great. From the very beginning when I arrived everyone was very welcoming. I've met so many amazing people and it was an experience I'll never forget. The work is very easy and you're flexible in choosing your work schedule which is good if you want a couple days off. I would always recommend this hostel to other volunteers:)
