I had my First Experience with Worldpackers at hebhostel and the time was amazing. Christine and her Family are so Kind and generouse and i immediately felt Welcome. The tasks are easy and the workinghours as agreed previously. I liked welcoming guests to the Hostel and even enjoyed cleaning as the Hostel Never gets very Dirty. I had plenty of time to Discover the island and loved hiking beautiful cliffs, as well as meeting other volunteers from all around the world. I definitely enjoyed my stay at hebhostel and would love to come back.

Volunteering at the hostel was an absolutely unforgettable and beautiful experience .Christine and her family were incredibly kind,welcoming and caring towards us. The other volunteers I worked with were warm-hearted,helpful and great to be around. Together,we shared meaningful and memorable moments! The tasks were clear, manageable and well-organized,and Christine always respected our agree-upon working hours. Thanks to this, we had plenty of free time to explore the stunning isle of Lewis! I feel so lucky to have meet Christine and her family as well as the fantastic group of volunteers!

Wonderful experience in a really lovely clean friendly hostel. Christine was kind supportive & clear in her instructions and went out of her way to ensure that we as Worldpackers were OK at all times. We felt proud of the hostel and motivated in our work because of this. Met great folk from all over the world and all ages - very inclusive.

This is an amazing place to go. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Whether it's your first time doing Worldpackers or you've done a few I would definitely recommend going here. There are some great beaches and hikes to do while you're there. I'll definitely be back in the future. Thank you Christine for everything!

I had a wonderful month at Hub Hostel. Christine is an incredible host, always available and friendly. The work is easy and fair and always in a good mood. It's a fascinating place to enjoy Scottish nature, with many breathtaking beaches and culture. It's the ideal place if you want to experience peaceful moments, almost out of time.
