The Experience

In our everyday activity we need help with cleaning and preparing the rooms but it is as important as chatting with the guests and making them feel welcomed here. Everything in the place is in constant change - we are rebuilding and rearranging things all the time, so sometimes we need help with building, painting and preparing to open our roof terrace - this means growing plants and doing different craft projects!

I had such a lovely time at the hostel. The city of Tartu is a very peaceful place, with tons of community events (if you look for them). The hostel itself is full of color and warm vibes. If you need to escape the rush of real life, this is your place. Also, you start work at 10 am and have the rest of the day free when you're finished!

I loved staying here at the hostel! I had an amazing time talking to all different sorts of people and getting to know Estonia in the process! Since I was here during off season (Feburary) , we usually had very little work to do. I definitely recommend volunteering here and I hope I'll be back some day

A great experience for a first time packer! Staff are supportive, the hostel is comfy and cute. I was there during off season so not much work to do, leaving time for me to explore the city (it's so beautiful during winter!).

Because of unexpected circumstances I worked only a few days in the hostel but I had a really nice time. The work is not a lot and we always finished after about two hours. You get used to the system easily and can choose you daily tasks in communication with the other volunteers. Because the city is not so big and especially in winter it's very calm, I would recommend bringing some books or other stuff to fill your free time.

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! Since I was there during the off-season, the atmosphere was very calm and the workload was not heavy at all. The receptionists and volunteers were nice and kind as well, so my experience in general was super positive. If you want to be a volunteer in a chill environment, I totally recommend you apply for the opportunity there. Thank you!
