One Fam was such a positive volunteer experience. The volunteer work is all organized and you still have a lot of free time to visit London. I made many new friends with guests who stayed there as well as the staff. Definitely my best hostel volunteer experience.

I worked at the hostel for one month and it was lots of fun! The location was pretty good and the other volunteers I made friends with were great! I was a bit surprised how much work we did for the hostel compared to my other hostel experiences but it was still achievable. Regardless I had fun at this hostel and Jacko was nice and flexible with the schedule/time off.

I'm so so so sorry I couldn't write you a review! You were absolutely amazing to have, and we miss you very much. Jasmine was always reliable, asked questions, and genuinely a sweet soul. All the best! - jacko

It was the utmost pleasure to host Seth, seriously a kind and caring young man with a lot of potential. Hostel tasks were completed on time and interacted amazingly with guests. I'd highly reccommend Seth - would bring him back in a heartbeat if I can.
