I stayed here for a month and loved it. It was my first time volunteering and couldn't have asked for a better place. The staff are super kind and always found solutions when needed. Dessau is full of nature and cool architecture, and it's easy to travel to nearby towns (and club in Berlin when the direct train works) Felt like home — 100% recommend!

Staying at the hostel was a unique and enriching experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I felt at home from the very first day. I met people from all over the world, and the environment encouraged connection, creativity, and community. Working there gave me a deeper understanding of daily life in a hostel and allowed me to grow personally and professionally. I'll always carry good memories of my time at the hostel.

We had a very nice experience volunteering at the hostel, they always made us feel comfortable. The tasks are simple and you have a lot of free time to enjoy. We also spent time with the owners, staff, guests and other volunteers, so there is always a friendly atmosphere :)
