Immediately after I arrived, I was wholeheartedly welcomed by everyone. The following days, the owner George was kind enough to take me to the local market and also showed me a local bar. I learned a lot about the plants, the culture as well as the life in general in Bulgaria. The hostel really is a special place. You have all of these plants all around you and the black sea in reach (25 min by foot). While I was there, the hostel wasn't open yet, so sadly there wasn't as much going on. Still, I got to listen to a lot of different stories and experience a different life than what I am used to.

Had an awesome time at the hostel Botanica! The hosts were amazing, communication was great and they were constantly checking to make sure we were happy and content with everything. The beach is close and it is easy to get in to town with the buses. The only draw back was that all the guests at the hostel at the time were long term and primarily older men as the hostel is not actually open to everyone during the off-season, this may be worth considering if you are a younger woman travelling outside of the summer season! However, everybody was very kind and welcoming - would recommend!!

It was my first experience as a volunteer and everything went well. George is a very nice and kind man, ready to help and explain what needs to be done. The hostel is a bit rustic but an oasis of peace, with a large garden full of plants of all kinds and lots of cats. About 10 minutes walk there is a beautiful beach, maybe not the ideal place to go out as it's a bit isolated but there are many buses that take you to the city center. The hostel is frequented mainly by adult men, maybe not ideal for young girls but despite this I recommend it to everyone, it was a magnificent experience!

My stay at the hostel Botanica was amazing! Tulio, an amazing and respectful host, ensured I had a place to rest upon my early morning arrival and constantly made sure I was comfortable throughout. The owner is a friendly, and fantastic person, and his brother has great knowledge of plants. The hostel is home to 10+ adorable cats and lush greenery, creating a peaceful vibe. Grill nights were a highlight, and the hostel people were fun and easygoing. Work hours were fair and flexible, and tasks were as agreed. Overall, a memorable and wonderful experience—highly recommended!

I had a great time at this experience. I stayed for a week and only had to da couple hours of work daily. The host was really chill and accommodating! I stayed during the pre season so there weren't many guests at the hostel, however with the people that were there I hung out with and enjoyed my time with. The hostel is a cool facility with a huge garden. The area itself is just outside of the city centre. It's really close to the beach and bus systems. A beautiful place to spend time.
