My experience volunteering at the hostel was an awesome one!!! The team I worked with were amazing, super kind and friendly and fun, and the host was super accommodating when I became ill for a few days. The work load was easy and the hours flexible and the days off and shift times were respected. I was very sad to leave at the end and am definitely looking forward to coming back!!

The absolute best of the Netherlands. The team, facilities, tasks, coffee machine, and overall atmosphere were all incredible. I felt truly lucky to volunteer there. I spent an amazing month and highly recommend it! Besides that, I ended up needing a bit of flexibility with the schedule for my last three shifts, and the team was incredibly understanding. Everything worked out perfectly. Thank you, the hostel! 💕

At the hostel I felt at home. Hamish, Coco, Alfie and Aiden made my stay absolutely stunning . Hours were respected and the tasks were as described. In fact, they were happy to let you go earlier once tasks were completed. The beds are the most comfortable bed I have had in a hostel, I truly loved how private were the pods. The area is great and well connected to Amsterdam by a 15 min train. I couldn't recommend more this experience to anyone who wants to explore about the life in ams. Thanks for the chance and hope meeting you soon.
