I absolutely recommend this experience! Can is awesome! The hostel has a great vibe and view too! The work is easy. Only downsides is the volunteers don't lead events here and the wifi doesn't work well. However, you won't find a more warm and welcoming place in such a great area and city! Loved it!

Wonderful experience at the hostel! I had so much fun and met amazing people. The tasks were easy to complete. I enjoyed joining the parties every week and socialising with people from around the world. The staff were friendly and welcoming, especially Can, he's an amazing guy, very fun to be around.. I totally recommend this place and will definitely consider coming back.

I loved staying here, and the work was not too hard. There was a bit of unexpected extra work somedays, but always do-able. I met great people and had so much fun

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.
