This role of social media/events was a great experience that I would definitely recommend to others. It was fun, creative and I had a lot of freedom which is important. It was easy to work with the manager side by side for both the social media and the events, to find a vision that worked for both of us to represent the hostel. There is a great socials base to start from, so it's not complicated to get into and the team were very open minded about the way I wanted to do this work. the hostel is an amazing place to volunteer and this opportunity is a rare gem!

Everything about my volunteer experience at the hostel was great! From the very beginning, Burak, the manager, and the Turkish staff as whole were very welcoming and kind, making sure I felt comfortable and part of the team. Communication was always clear, respectful, and open—we knew what was expected of us. The tasks were well-distributed and balanced, leaving plenty of time to explore Istanbul. Also, there was a strong sense of community: everyone, including other volunteers and guests, were fun to be around—we cooked meals together, shared stories, played games. Highly recommend!

Such an amazing experience, I will miss this place so much! All the staff and volunteers were so kind, the location in Kadıköy is amazing, the work is really reasonable, and the atmosphere of the hostel is so welcoming and attracts such good people. I was able to learn a lot about Turkish culture due to this experience too, and there was always a lot of cool events happening at the hostel, from volleyball to pub crawls to sharing traditional Turkish breakfast. the hostel really felt like a second home to me and I can't wait to visit again in the future!

I started my volunteering journey at the hostel and I can tell that it was the best decision. The location of the hostel could not be better, I do really miss Kadiköy and The Street. The crew of the hostel is really feels like a family and I feel blessed that I could be a member of it for a month. I went trough fam problems while I was there, but at the end of the day I always had a family at the hostel.🤍 Thank u for everything, definitely gonna come back.
