It was a great experience, the host and the hotel staff were great. Thank you everyone for your patience and hospitality. I also received help from some Worldpackers. chevere I learned about housekeeping. The breakfast was delicious and varied. In my free time, I visited Amsterdam and the canals. It's a very beautiful country, very well organized. I would come back and visit again. It's a beautiful country. I wish everyone the best from your Peruvian friend. Blessings, Jaqueline.

My experience in Rijswijk was pleasant. I immediately felt good with all the volunteers and the team. The work is really easy, and you even have the opportunity to choose your own schedule, giving you a break. The rooms have private, comfortable beds, occupied by volunteers. The area is close to the city center, large parks, and The Hague. I immediately became fond of the staff, whom I greet warmly, Karyna, Rasim, and Hilde are wonderful people. Dennis is always present and available, and he takes great care of any issues, which makes him an excellent host. I recommend this place!

I volunteered at the hostel Hotel in Rijswijk, doing simple tasks like painting and restoring rooms. Faizel was super nice and helpful, and the staff were kind. Rijswijk is a cute city, perfectly located to visit Rotterdam, Den Haag, and Delft. I really enjoyed my stay and loved my first Worldpackers experience. However, if your goal is to practice English or meet people, this might not be ideal, as most spoke Dutch and I was the only volunteer. Maybe the position in the hostel could have given a different vibe :) Thanks, Dennis and Faizel, for this amazing opportunity!

Volunteering at the hostel for a month was a challenging and constructive experience. I developed communication skills, a sense of community, and learned housekeeping. However, it's more a hotel than a hostel, with over 100 rooms and no community vibe or engagement activities. The accommodations are great, breakfast is excellent, and Johnny makes a great macchiato. But the kitchen is often messy, and there's no dedicated volunteer space. Overall, a good experience, but improvements are needed for me to consider returning.
