I had a great time at the hostel. The tasks weren't explained very well by the team, but they have written standards for each one that you can easily read and follow — it's not hard at all. You also get 3 days off, which is perfect to get to know and enjoy Leipzig! As my first experience in Germany, it was really helpful for me to start connecting with locals and the language. Breakfast is included, which is great — just make sure to be on time, because the leftovers disappear quickly haha. Thank you for this experience! :)

I had a great time in Leipzig, all the people I met were lovely and really helpful, both the staff and other volunteers. The room was decent for a hostel, and had a fridge so you didn't need to use the guest kitchen. The shifts were mostly at the bar or helping with breakfast as well as some other random jobs when they were needed. Occasionally you ended up doing more than 25 hours a week if you did lots of long evening shifts. Most guests are German/speak German, so learning the basics is useful. Overall it was a really fun experience, I learnt a lot, and I would highly recommend!

Absolutely recommend the experience, especially for those who are looking to settle down in Germany. It's a good introduction to the German working market and a great way to improve German. The staff is young and absolutely nice, they make the experience a lot more enjoyable. Leipzig is also a fantastic city and the hostel location is perfect, being right in front of the Hauptbahnhof.
