I would totally recommend volunteering at the hostel. The work is easy, the accommodation is nice, and the events organized on a daily basis enable you to connect with other travelers. The staff and volunteers were super nice and welcoming. I'm so thankful for all the people from around the world that I got to meet here. Sounds cheesy, but in these past five weeks, I have truly learned a lot, in so many ways. This was my first volunteering experience and my first time in Turkey. Grateful that it got to be at the hostel in Istanbul.

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I only planned to stay for one month, but within two weeks I knew that wouldn't be enough. The staff and volunteers were incredibly kind and welcoming, and our manager Burak was flexible and supportive. The work was fun and light, and there was always someone to explore the city with. Kadıköy became one of my favorite neighborhoods. the hostel felt like home, and I'll never forget it. Thank you for an amazing first Worldpackers experience. I hope to return soon <3 Ask ChatGPT

Had a wicked time. Coolest part of Istanbul and Burak is super helpful and kind. Also soda is the cutest dog ever! Lots of cute cafes and bars around and stuff to see. Hours are fair and the shifts give you time to explore. Highly recommend!
