The experience

We are a family of 3 (Me, my fiancé and my mum) running a hostel in Ohrid. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment for travelers from all over the world and make their stay in Ohrid unforgettable. It's not a type of hostel that is ran and managed only by volunteers. We are working hard for the guests and focusing a lot for creating off site & on site activities.

Program Details

In hot season our work will be focused on daily running of the hostel from check-ins/outs , reception, general cleaning and help around the house, laundry, making beds, interact with guests, helping with organizing activities in hostel or trips outside the hostel.

Before the hot season the hostel will be more quiet. So the daily running of hostel will be more relaxed and we will focus as well on renovation and preparing the hostel for the season. One project we are planning to do in coming months is to upgrade the garden, to build a bar and make some nice outdoor seating for people to hang out. Somebody that can help with some DIY and renovation projects will be appreciated.

Long story short we will provide all the necessary information and how the hostel function itself. If you have any other skill that you think might be helpful for the hostel, don't hesitate to mention this too.
