Volunteering at hostel Debasis in Zwolle was honestly such a great experience! From day one I felt super welcomed and connected right away with the people there. Everyone is incredibly friendly, always around to help you out with anything you need. Also I have connected a lot with the other volunteers from differents parts of the world and we have been such an amazing team! I only have good words for describing this experience, I would recommend it to anyone. I will come back soon! Albert :)

It was an incredible experience in which i learned a lot because not only do you get to work but you also get to know holland and its people in depth. All the people who work there are very nice and they always treated me great and i got to know the other volunteers very well. It is an experience that i would definitely repeat and that i recommend to everybody.

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!
