My experience at Bennies & the hostel has honestly been one of the best I've had as a volunteer so far. Doing the night shift definitely came with its own challenges and things to learn, like any new experience, but it all felt smooth and friendly thanks to the amazing team — open, fun, responsible, kind, communicative, and always proactive. Always ready to help out with anything. On top of enjoying my time as a volunteer here, I'm leaving not only with great coworkers, but with real friends. People I truly appreciate and will miss a lot. Thanks, Bennie fam. See you soon. Kisses and hugs <3

I had a wonderful time here. The work was simple, and the times were clearly agreed upon. I had enough time to explore the city and the country, and if the schedule didn't work out, requests were dealt with immediately and as best as possible. The hostel also had a great location—it was only a short walk to the city center, as well as to more quiet spots. The staff team were all really nice and open-minded. You could feel that everyone enjoyed working with volunteers. It was a fantastic experience that I can definitely recommend.

Rowan and the Hostel & the hostel team were absolutely amazing!! If I didn't have other commitments I would have totally stayed longer. The environment was super fun, people were very friendly, the food was incredible and Zwolle is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. Can't recommend more!

My time at Bennies in the hostel was indescribable! The host is really caring and helps you to 200% if you need anything! The work is pretty easy and the working hours are such that you still have enough free time. The whole team makes you feel very comfortable and welcoming🫶 I had a lot of fun with locals and learnd a lot about the dutch culture. Zwolle is a very pretty small city with a lot of nature and fun. This place is also in the perfect location to reach other cities with the train or a bicycle. All in all I had the best time there with amazing memories, absolutely recommendable!
