I felt very very comfortable, happy, appreciated and welcome in this volunteering experience. Mert is such a nice, respectful and kind person. The tasks assigned are simple and there's enough time to do them. There's a supermarket on the first floor and public transportation nearby. You will have plenty of time to visit the beautiful and amazing city. Hope coming back soon because I had an amazing time🤗

This experience was amazing! The hostel itself is great. It's big, super clean and has really cool facilities. Mert was a great host. He really takes real time to get to know each volunteer, learning your strengths, your limits, and what you're comfortable with. I did decorating, reception, and events, and when I wasn't comfortable with a task, he immediately changed my schedule. You work alot during your shift, but Mert is very respectful of your time. You get a clear schedule in advance. You get a food allowance, and Mert also made amazing meals for us sometimes! 100% recommend!

My experience was excellent! Mert is extremely kind and helpful — he's always checking in to make sure we're doing well and feeling comfortable. The volunteer accommodations are great, and the hostel has plenty of space to study, work, or watch a movie. I highly recommend this experience and will definitely come back again!

I'm so grateful for this amazing experience at the hostel! From the moment I arrived, I felt at home. I made some incredible friends, and the hostel's cleanliness and location were perfect - close to the metro, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Plus, it's just a 30-minute walk to the beach, where I got to enjoy breathtaking sunsets … Mert, was super friendly and went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and welcome … honestly couldn't ask for a better first experience !!!

I had the chance to volunteer at the coliving Hostel in Istanbul, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. During my stay, I worked on developing an Excel Control Dashboard, which allowed me to contribute to the hostel's operations while also learning and growing professionally. I'm really grateful for the warm hospitality, good vibes, and all the support I received during my time there. Thank you so much, Mert and the coliving Hostel, for the opportunity and for making me feel at home!
