Program Details

At Hostel & Bar De Basis, we have an average of six to eight volunteers working in various roles. Curious about night shifts and housekeeping duties? Check out our other vacancies :) The hostel consists of 12 rooms with a total of 44 beds. Additionally, we have a bar/restaurant on the ground floor where we mainly serve vegetarian dishes. Once a month, we host live music, parties, and other events.

Besides that, we have a team member that loves a lot of attention. His name is Bennie and he is a cobberdog/cockapoo :) He's born on the 21st of April. Since he is a Doodle, he's a hypoallergenic dog. He will be around quite some time and we'd love you to puppy sit once in a while ;)

Activities & Shift

The working hours vary. Last month, we started working with volunteers for the reception shifts. These shifts run from Monday to Thursday, from 3:00 PM to 10:30 PM. During the shifts, you check in new guests, answer questions about the city and things to do, inform guests about our restaurant, etc. When its quiet moment, you help out at the bar :)

We have'nt worked with volunteers at the bar, so that will be a first! :) The working hours may vary. You could be working during breakfast and lunch (daytime) or during pub hours or an event in the evening.

Rules

We do accept couples and pairs but the other will work in another position (housekeeping or nightshift). We try our best to get you at least one day off together.
