This was my first volunteer experience, and it exceeded my expectations! The hostel has a very welcoming atmosphere, and I got to meet amazing people from all over the world. Everyone — volunteers, staff, and guests — was very kind and made me feel comfortable. I had great conversations, learned a lot, and improved my English. I highly recommend this experience and this hostel! 🥰🥰

This was my first volunteering experience, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better place to start! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel completely welcome and right at home. The tasks were simple, well-organized, and easy to follow, which left me with plenty of free time to relax and explore. I feel incredibly lucky to have met such kind, caring, funny, and genuinely wonderful individuals—both the staff and fellow volunteers! I would highly recommend this volunteering experience. Thank you all for everything!! :)

Nice hostel with nice staff! I preferred to be out of the hostel a little bit so the hostel was perfect for that. Short train to central and there's a bus stop out front. Work is upfront and nothing is difficult. Some days are busier than others as any hostel. Overall I had a great time with no complaints :) 🇳🇱
