Staying at the the hostel was really a life lesson! Talking about experiences will never be enough because we need to live to feel each and every contact and talking about my experience at the hostel brings me such happiness that unfortunately can't be felt by this message. I met so many incredible people that I want to keep for life, the staff was always supportive and kind to the volunteers, the hostel it's super comfortable and I got in touch with so many people from around the world! I had a home for one month in the Netherlands with those people!

Thank you to all the staff for making this experience even better. At first, I was scared to travel alone, but if you want to feel fulfilled, live new experiences, overcome challenges, and meet amazing people, this is the place to be. Thank you, the hostel, for this wonderful month.

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 worldpacker's experience and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! The team at the hostel made me feel supported, included and we had so much fun. All of the volunteers worked together as a team well and I gained some amazing friends I will have for the rest of my life! Couldn't recommend it more.
