Such a beautiful place. They are really kind person, very welcoming, flexible and open to your requests. If you search something simple, with good people and near to the beach, that is a good place for you.

I had an amazing time volunteering at this hostel! Everyone was incredibly friendly, open-minded, and warm-hearted. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome – I was even greeted with a fresh cup of coffee, which was such a nice touch. The tasks were always simple and easy to manage, usually taking no more than two hours a day. That gave me plenty of time to enjoy the city and relax at the beach, which is just a 15-minute walk from the hostel. I truly enjoyed my stay in Varna and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great volunteering experience

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!
