My stay in Dessau was very pleasant, and for my first time in Germany, I felt right at home. It's a small city, but it's surrounded by nature and perfectly connected to the rest of Germany by train. The hostel is very peaceful, the tasks aren't too demanding, and the hours are flexible. You can choose your days off. Farhana and the staff are very attentive.Farhana demonstrates her leadership by listening to the volunteers and adjusting the schedule based on their needs. Weekly meetings are organized where you can share your opinions. I really enjoyed my time in Dessau.

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.
