Had an wonderful month here and am truly sad to leave. I got to work with a lovely team of incredibly outgoing, sociable and fun people from all over the world and make fantastic memories with them. Ikary is a kind and inspiring person who is always around to look out for his team and he made me feel welcome from the start. The work was very manageable; both the cleaning and reception shifts were fine and in line with what was agreed. I learnt a lot here and would highly recommend this volunteering experience.

It exceeded all expectations. From the moment you arrive, they make you feel like part of a family. The place is in the heart of Riga, very central — you can do everything on foot. Ikary is a phenomenon: humble, respectful, and caring — I made a brother for life. Amazing volunteers: Gerda, Misaki, Clara, and Carolina made the experience even better. A perfect 10/10 for the hostel — come without hesitation.

I have only great things to say about my time at the hostel. Ikary and the rest of the team instantly welcomed me and made this feel like home away from home. We all got to know each other well during shifts where there is mutual respect and clear communication. The overall environment within the hostel is calm and cozy and our shared meals and conversations as a team added to that. This is an ideal experience to meet international travelers, learn about Latvia, make amazing colleagues/friends, and experience personal growth. Thank you the hostel!

I went for a month, but ended up staying 6! the hostel felt like a home, not just for me but also the guests. The hostel is cosy and very social, but not a party place: you can sleep at night. The working hours and days off are respected, and the weeks follow the same pattern so it's easy to plan trips around Latvia. If you're on a cleaning shift, your hours might even be lower than 5 hr/day. Ikary is one of the best bosses I've ever had: once you learn his standards and expectations, he has your back always. We became family for sure! I will certainly go back, if I ever have the chance <3

This was our first volunteering experience and we couldn't have wished for a better place. the hostel is a calm and inviting Hostel that quickly felt like home. The host Ikary is very helpful and chill, his trust in us made us feel secure. He made our stay pleasureful, we organized lunches together, where we cooked and ate traditional dishes with the team. We were able to meet and talk to lots of interesting people. The tasks were easy to learn but taught us lots of things. We are very grateful that we were able to make the hostel our home for a month and definitely want to come back.

I had an amazing experience volunteering at the hostel! This place feels like home, I was warmly welcomed by the host and the other volunteers. I felt so comfortable! The work (cleaning and reception) was easily managable (with enough free time) and I learned a lot, especially in the reception. The host was always there for the volunteers, if we had questions or needed help. He would always have our back. I highly recommend to volunteer at this hostel, if you are looking for a calm and cozy place to stay and if you take the work that you do seriously! I had an amazing time!

Worked with Gonzalo and Yohaan, Damian and Paula. They also contributed with making my experience even better. The owner Ikary was always around and ready to help. My work was alternating reception and housekeeping. There were two women that work here as housekeeping, so we were in charge of only one floor. As this is not a party hostel, the guests who stayed here were very interesting; had a bunch of nice experiences while traveling and the atmosphere was always friendly and engaging. Sometimes after closing reception we organized plans with the guests. Lovely experience. Thank u!

This was my 3rd experience as volunteer and so far was the best one. The owner and others volunteers were incredibly welcoming. The work was varied, including tasks like reception and cleaning, with a good balance between work and free time. At the end I was not just doing my job but also organising tours with the guests. The hostel is great, really clean and comfy. Then I became really friend of the owner and always that I can I will go back to work again there. Overall, it was an enriching and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!!

It should be renamed the hostel home, Ikary takes great care of the hostel and is super kind to the volunteers who are treated like his own children. I loved staying here and meeting guests from all around the world. Great environment very relaxing work and Ikary is very sweet even when we mess up something, he tells us and teaches us 😊

Supero mis expectativas, fue mi segunda experiencia como voluntario y debo decir que es una experiencia que debes vivir. En cuanto a trabajo aprendí y valoré las diferentes actividades en el hostal desde ayudar en limpieza y también en recepción, las horas son las acordadas y también se respetan los días de Descanso. Ikary es un host increíble y pasamos un tiempo genial, muy profesional y también amigo de sus amigos. Gracias Ikary! Como nota final: me quedo con la gente maravillosa que conocí en mi tiempo en el hostal, los llevo el ❤️. Hasta pronto
