The hostel was my home, my sanctuary, my classroom, my battlefield. It wasn't just a hostel it was a world where laughter met pain and strangers became family. I learned to lead, to let go, and to grow through chaos and beauty. Every day taught me something about love, patience, and presence. I found pieces of myself in others. I shared stories, dreams, and sleepless nights. I saw people come and go, each leaving a mark. I learned the art of connection without possession. Even goodbyes had meaning the kind that hurts but makes you grateful. the hostel will always be a part of me, wherever I go.

My volunteering at the hostel was a great experience. Burak and all the volunteers were very kind. The tasks were easy to do, and the schedules were respected. The hostel is located very close to the tourist area, which allowed me to explore Istanbul. Thank you, the hostel team!

My experience at the hostel was truly amazing. The work was flexible and relaxed, and we had plenty of time to explore the city. I had a great time meeting amazing people from all over the world with different stories, and there was always something new to learn from them. I made friends for life who felt like family, and I'm so grateful for this experience. In the end, this place became our home, and we didn't want to leave. Thank you, the hostel Team! ✨❤️

I had such a great time volunteering at the hostel. The vibe here is super friendly and chill, and I met amazing people who became real friends for life. The staff is kind and fun, and Kadıköy is the best area to stay. I felt at home from day one and had so many good moments here. Thank you, the hostel, for everything! 💛

It was a really great experience volunteering at the hostel. The manager Burak was flexible and kind. The shift work was as described. The volunteer group was friendly and there was many events in the hostel. The hostel has many spaces to hang out to watch films/ relax/ work and the room provided was comfortable, the hostel is located in a really cool neighbourhood with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants.
