I had a great time at the hostel! I stayed for just over a month and met amazing people from all over. John and Sinan helped me connect with the local culture, and I shared special moments with Ida, Mara, Yuli, and Bahara. The tasks are simple once you get into the rhythm, and you have lots of free time to enjoy the city. The vibe here is warm and friendly. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a fun and authentic volunteer experience in Istanbul :)

My Experience at the hostel – Istanbul, Turkey I spent one amazing month at the hostel in Istanbul, and it was truly unforgettable. The team was super friendly, the vibe was warm and welcoming, and I met incredible people from around the world. The work was enjoyable, and I also had time to explore the city and learn new things every day. It was an excellent experience, and I would definitely do it again without hesitation.

I enjoyed my experience volunteering at the hostel. The hostel is very well located, very close to some tourist attractions. I was well treated and respected by the people who work at the hostel. I helped with breakfast and housekeeping, and in the end I had a lot of time to enjoy the city. They were flexible and the volunteering was in accordance with the agreement. Thank you very much for the opportunity :)

Volunteering at the hostel was a wonderful experience, I was able to learn a little English and practice Spanish. I met other travelers, the location of the hostel is perfect for seeing many tourist attractions in the region, easy access to public transport. About the people who work at the Hostel, they are super pleasant, flexible, super lively and cheerful, the tasks basically consist of helping dear Meral with breakfast and then cleaning and organizing the rooms, working hours according to what you say in the vacancy. I recommend it and would definitely return. I loved Istanbul.
