This was my first volunteering experience and I absolutely loved it! Most of the time I worked in the reception but I also tried working in the bar and with housekeeping. The staff, managers and the other volunteers where so nice and helpful. Definitely recommend to volunteer here! Thank you for this opportunity! I will be back!

The scheduled was respected and all the things that you receive in exchange for your volunteer hours were beyond my expectations. Paula the manager is always taking care of the volunteers, making the job easy and fun. I was volunteering at the bar and the bar Manager's Noah and Jen are great people, keeping the good vibes all the time, also they take care of cutie cats at the hostel, if you're a cat lover you're gonna love it! My time there was fulfilled with great memories and fun with the new friends I've made and the people that I've met.
