I had one of the funnest months of my life , the entire experience was very organised. There was thought behind everyone having a lot of fun. My fellow volunteers were also close to me in age therefore it was easy to befriend them. I created a real community at this hostel that upset me to leave . The hostel is additionally in an amazing location, therefore I never felt isolated or out of touch with the city . I worked a rota the was released a couple weeks in advance and I was never asked to work otherwise. I met sooooo manyyyy people .

Spending four weeks at this hostel was an incredible experience I'll always remember. The people I met there made it so special, whether it was the staff, the volunteers, or the guests, the vibe was always friendly and open. The tasks were totally manageable, and if you ever feel unsure, the staff is there to guide you and make sure you're comfortable. I'm leaving with amazing memories and feel completely satisfied with this first volunteering experience. So grateful to have shared this time with such amazing people! All in all: I highly recommend it !!

I had a great experience with the hostel. It was my first experience volunteering with a hostel and it exceeded every expectation. The hostel is a very friendly, social, and open environment and it was very easy to make friends. The cleaning and social events are straightforward, and the schedule is flexible if you ask. The manager, Katie, really goes out of her way to make sure that staff feel safe and comfortable. I met some of the loveliest people here and I hope to come back some day. 10/10!!

My experience at the hostel was truly amazing! Right from the start, the atmosphere was super welcoming, with a relaxed and homey vibe. It's easy to feel part of the group and build genuine connections. I had the opportunity to improve my English, meet people from all over the world, and enjoy the city. The hostel's location is central and perfectly matches the description. I'm going home with beautiful memories, new experiences and friendships!

The hostel was great! The staff, and the way they interact with volunteers and guests, make you feel super confident and happy with the position. Additionally, the location of the hostel is very central and the working hours are not overwhelming, so you will have time to enjoy the city. Overall, everything was as described in the listing and I'm extremely happy with my experience!

The best advice I could give you is to NEVER WORK IN THIS HOSTEL, or even stay as a guest. This is going to be hard to sum up everything that went wrong in only 600 characters. I joined the hostel on the 26th of December and was about to stay for a month. I left after 5 days for the following reasons: the managing team made me work 14 HOURS A DAY, with barely one meal scheduled in the day, when the deal was 25h/week. I got very sick after 2 days and they kept wanting me to work that much. Also, when I arrive, the hostel, and especially the volunteers room was in a deep state of dirtyness

Thank you for your feedback. We believe there may be a misunderstanding as your review dishearteningly exaggerates the situation. We strive to ensure all staff work within the agreed terms and maintain a positive environment. Volunteers typically work 3-5 shifts, 2-6 hours each. We would never force an ill traveler to work, and our management is always available to step in. We provide free dinners regularly and allow staff to maintain their privacy in their rooms by scheduling cleaning times.

I loved volunteering at the hostel so much! The people I met, both guests and volunteers, were amazing, and I'm so happy to now call them friends. The hostel is in a perfect location, which made it easy to explore the city during my free time. The shifts were really well-organized, with a good mix of cleaning, reception, and hosting activities, and there was always plenty of time to relax or hang out with others. It really felt like being part of a big, fun family. Budapest is such an awesome place, and the hostel made it even better!

I love the hostel so much I don't know where to begin. I just met the most amazing people here, both guests and volunteers, people that I can now truly call my friends. I love them and miss them very much. The shifts were very diverse which i really liked. Cleaning, reception, hosting activities. I liked how, during our free time, the volunteers were just hanging out together or chilling with guests. It truly felt like being part of a family. The pain I felt everytime someone I'd grown close to left was very real. Also Budapest itself is just absolutely amazing. I will definetely come back! >:)
