The team was nice and welcoming from day one. The hostel itself is clean and pretty comfortable- the rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were well-maintained. The work was straightforward, 4 hours a day as agreed upon, helping the cleaning staff change bedsheets and folding laundry. I fell sick for a few days and the management was very accommodating in switching my work days so I could rest and recover. :)

I really enjoyed volunteering here, Dali and the whole staff were very kind, work wasn't hard, usually for even less hours that written here. We were changing the sheets and cleaning floors. Sometimes we cooked lunch together. I was staying in a shared female dorm. Sofia is a nice city, i recommend vising also the surrounding nature and hike there.

Thank you so much for your kind words-it truly means a lot to us. We were so glad to have you here, and you made us really proud! Your positive energy, helpful attitude, and care in everything you did made a real difference. It was a pleasure sharing meals, laughs, and good moments with you. You're always welcome back whenever you feel like coming to Sofia again—the city, the mountains, and our doors are open for you! Wishing you many more great adventures ahead 🌍❤️

Dear Lucia,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand that sharing a room with guests is not ideal, but we clearly specified in the advertisement that the dorm is shared. We are running this hostel for more than 4 years, we have never had issue that the volunteers are sharing the kitchen/fridges with the guests. We do not tolerate harassing or disrespectful behavior.
We take your feedback seriously.
