Help us to make our place more comfortable and clean to everybody

Unfortunately, my experience was not positive. The main issue was communication. When I raised concerns about tasks that turned out to be different from what had been discussed before my arrival, I felt dismissed rather than listened to. Instead of a constructive conversation, I felt blamed and pressured simply for asking questions, which made the environment feel disrespectful and emotionally draining. For this reason, I decided to leave early. The hostel is run entirely by volunteers and does not have any permanent employees, so you might be asked to do whatever is needed at the moment.

The volunteer experience was positive, with a wonderful place and good infrastructure. However, some details from the platform didn't fully match reality. The working hours varied, and I handled both housekeeping and reception duties, which was challenging. The platform mentioned breakfast and dinner were provided, but I received a food allowance of 800 Turkish liras per week, around 20 EUR, which may not cover two meals a day. Despite this, I valued the experience and am happy to answer any questions.

I had a very good experience here, Mert was very flexible with the schedulle which I appreciated it a lot since I work online. The hostel has very good common areas where you can work online so I think is a great place for digital nomads.

The coliving was good experience in general, a great way to combine volunteering with your remote job/ second activity. Tasks are very simpe and dont take much time at all, also the owner Mert is kind and very supportive so i didnt face any problem during one month i spent there. thank you for this month :)

Mert and the team were absolutely amazing, I have had the most incredible experience in Istanbul! The work was not difficult and easy to pick up and Mert was flexible with the shifts, so you could work double shift and have more days off to explore. I felt at home as soon as I arrived. We had beautiful food cooked by one of the volunteers, sometimes Mert or the guests would help to cook too! Mert made me fish and chips especially because I felt homesick :) He is also an expert at chess. I have had such fun here, I would definitely recommend the coliving and I will be back 🫶🏼

My stay in Istanbul was better than I ever expected and I made the greatest friends with other volunteers. Mert was a very nice and welcoming host and I loved this opportunity to paint a mural!

The place is much nicer than it looks in the photos. Super close to the metro station, the bus and a 20min walk to the beach and sports area, restaurants and bars. The host is super nice, we have good food, tasks are easy and fair. It was my birthday and Mert gave me 2 days off and chocolates hehe. I had fun, we watched movies and went out to many places to visit. The place is quiet and relax, it has a terrace with a super nice view and you can exercise, meditate, etc. If you arrive at night, look for the BMI and the entrance is an alley. It was fun and I will definitely be back. Thanks Mert

The hostel is beautiful and chill, the working hours are fare and the work is not really hard ( reception and cleaning) that gives you enough free time to go around and explore the city, Mert is really helpful and nice with the volunteers. Thank u so much

If you're working remotely while traveling, this is the place for you! The hostel bristles with work-friendly facilities, and the stable internet connection enables you to work hassle-free. There's also a kitchen perfect for cooking. The volunteer work is also easy and can be done quickly if you get the hang of it. Also, Mert is an amazing host. I'm glad I was given the chance to participate in building his business. I learned a lot about running hostels and dealing with people. I loved my stay here!
