I had a great time! Everyone treats you with great respect and as if you've known each other for years the moment you walk in. Next time I'm near I will definitely stay again! :)

It was my first time volunteering and i had a great time and the experience was great! The staff and the other volunteers were really amazing and great to work with. I only have good things to say and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a volunteering job and want to be part of a good social environment. If you want to have fun and party everyday, this is the place for you.

I think that this is a good experience to have, it's a fair amount of work to do. I would keep in mind that it is a social hostel so there's this constant party atmosphere. Theres are people I met here that I absolutely loved 🫶🏼 Martina, Barbara and Estefan. And I would say that the management could use a little bit more organization when it comes to delegating tasks and scheduling. Aside from that it's a great opportunity.

Gracias Barbara, thank you for all the help, and for organization - you saw the level of crazy days there so we will try :-)

Did not follow the agreed upon position or hours. Offer said 2 days off, given 1 day off. Was supposed to be party promoting and bartending, but it was making beds. Put up with that until I saw they had bedbugs. When brought to attention, they said "I'll believe it when I see it" even though I showed a picture. Then, was told by other staff there were bed bugs a few days before in the staff apartment I was in. So not taken seriously. Staff apartment is 30 minute walk from the hostel. Yelled at for taking a break. Do not recommend. Seemed fun for the partiers, but not workers.

Sorry you had a bad experience. You remember things differently to what actually happened. But one thing you shouldn’t do, is walk out when your shift is starting. That’s not an adult way to resolve things. But all the best.

This volunteer experience was okay, but there were some things that didn't sit well with us. Overall, there was a lack of communication from management. No one sent us the schedule when we first arrived and they assumed twice that I could work extra hours (and scheduled me for extra hours) without asking me first. We stayed in three different places during our three weeks, which made it challenging to get settled and the communication about these plans and moves was poor. We were ultimately moved to a room for volunteers that had bugs and no locks for the lockers or the room itself.

Hello, good afternoon, I want to report that I just had a discussion with the person in charge, Patrick, from the hostel Wilde Word Hostel, who was speaking to me with orders in very bad taste, like how I couldn't eat badly, even though I hadn't had lunch, alone. Until the end of the shift, which is from 4 to 6 since I was not involved in any paperwork, clean the bathrooms, corridors, stairs glass, take the guests to their rooms. I opened the door for a break, he told me that I could do it until the shift ended and I told him 1 minute: he yelled at me and disrespected me and he couldn't allow .

Joaquin was very nice and organized person. He helped us mostly in cleaning duties but also going night shifts that show the trust we had with him and that he was responsable person. It was very easy to communicate with him and make plans. I would recommend him for anyone.

This was my first worldpackers experience, & I don't think I could've asked for a better one. From the minute I got there I felt so welcomed and at home. Petra, Cracker, Filip, Patrik, literally all the managers and other staff are such an amazing group of fun, loving people. The hours and tasks are very accurate to what is outlined, and there's great communication throughout the hostel team in case things happen. They truly want you to have a great time there. the hostel really became like a second home to me in my time here, & I can 100% say I will be back one day soon, Ninjas 4lyfe!!
