My month in Munich with the hostel was fantastic! It was such a cool experience to be a part of, and the people I met along the way will be lifelong friends of mine. As a part of the kitchen crew, I got to cook healthy, delicious meals with others, and served brekkie to guests each morning. The meals and ingredients included loads of veggies and healthy options to balance out all the beer drinking we did :) Overall, a great experience!

This was such an incredible experience and I left with so many strangers that became family. This was definitely the definition of work hard play hard, although the work sometimes felt long, there was never a time where I felt alone. Every single person working at the hostel including all the managers, helped make every single shift fun no matter the circumstances. I've never gotten so many hugs/ laughed so consistently. I would recommend this experience 100x over. the hostel and all the people I met will forever hold a special place in my heart <3 PROST!!

I can't imagine a better Worldpackers experience - just the right amount of fun, chaos, and organization. For anyone just starting their world packers experience, I would recommend this one beyond everything. Thank you so much the hostel for everything <3

Volunteering with the hostel at Oktoberfest has been one of my favourite experiences. I was there for the entire month and I wish it lasted longer. This is a perfect place to volunteer if you are looking for a family atmosphere and a lot of fun. All of the volunteers become so close working together and the managers are extremely supportive. In my opinion I think this is the best way to experience Oktoberfest because you can go into the festival with guests and volunteers during your time off which is a lot of fun. Super grateful for this experience and everyone I met along the way!

One of the greatest experiences I've ever had. Starting with the owners, Sascha and Jelle, who are always there to help. The Sjoerd, Sebastián, Jamila and Jade, always responsible and respectful of the volunteers, always doing their utmost to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Here, work hard and play hard is put into practice, but it's worth it for the exchange with the other volunteers and the feeling of being part of the whole event. All the food provided, tent, sleeping bag and various other treats throughout the period.
