The hostel is a lovely place to volunteer. The receptionist are really nice and they are always down for a chat. Mal is a lovely, warm and welcoming person and she is always there if you have a problem. The work is easy and you have a lot of free time to discover Poland. I would recommend this hostel!

This was one of the most incredible volunteering experiences! The hostel is beautiful and welcoming (especially with the frequent dogs - Sira and Reggie :). The staff/guests are very welcoming as well - I will miss them all dearly. The work is communicated effectively by Mal and Aleks, and the owners are wonderful. The accommodation is very nice. The work is easy as long as you're ok with being social and good at bringing people together for activities. Make sure to explore Warsaw and other cities/villages, go to museums, eat pierogi, and learn some polish. 🇵🇱 Kocham cię the hostel! ❤️

The hostel is amazing!! The work is really easy and is mostly during the evening so you have all day to explore the city, chat with people and enjoy your time in Warsaw. Mal and Alex and the receptionists help you with anything you need and give you good tips on where to go. I absolutely loved it and will 110% come back either as a volunteer or a guest! <3

I must say the hostel truly became a home away from home 🫶. I've stayed here for a little over three weeks and I couldn't have asked for a better first volunteering experience. The tasks at the hotel are pretty straightforward and not complicated, mostly at night and sometimes in the afternoon. Mal and Aleksandra are so respectful and professional and are also very attentive and understanding when it comes to their volunteers. The people at reception are just amazing, so fun and interesting and will definitely be greatly missed ❤️. Mal's dog Sira is also the cutest puppy I've ever met. 🫶💕

The hostel is the best hostel in Europe and probably best in Europe I've stayed at. Alex and Mal are extremely kind and respectful hosts, managers, and people. I had so much fun here, I was so sad to leave. Favorite part of my 1 month stay was definitely talking and becoming friends with all the staff there. Such amazing people; Mal, Dominika, Kinga, Sira, Nina, and the others. They made the experience so much fun for me. the hostel should be named Top 5 hostel in Europe. Must do for volunteering! I'd do it again for months if I could. Thank you kindly for everything my friends ❤️.
