My experience in the hostel was pretty great. The place is beautiful, the city is amazing!! Shoutout for Charlotte, she is very flexible in case you need a specific day off and she really cares for the volunteers. The people there are also amazing , the volunteers and staff (except the polish housekeeper, he was uneducated and rude). However, my time there was pretty nice and I would really recommend it!

The hostel is the perfect place to work hard and have the best time. Everyone is always full of energy, and commitment, and without a doubt, you'll leave with such cool connections and anecdotes! Special thanks to Charlotte for making me feel welcome from the moment I stood foot in the building till I went away. I'll be back! Miss you all!

We both had such a great time at the hostel, we can recommend to stay with them for sure! We had lots of freedom to set up partys, beer tastings and other activities, we loved to! Charlotte is a lovely manager, we could always reach her with any problem and she truly cared about our well-being! Thank you for everything! We are happy to visit you again : )

It's my second time in the hostel primary for the people here, it feels like a big family business (because it is). It's a very hands on volunteer position so if you want to be on your feet and do your part, this is a great experience. If you want to do the bare minimum, for the sake of all of us, don't come 😂 they work as a dedicated team and it's nice when you have people with the same paste and energy around, otherwise it wears everyone down. Ps: Coffee available 24/7 saves my day when I need to transition to my editing and long hours in front of the laptop.

The hostel was an amazing experience where I meet new friends, but the communication with the management was lacking a lot of clarity. I understand the month I was there a lot of changes happened, so now that things have evolve, I hope they do better ^^.

This is a review as truthful as I can write it, for fellow travelers but also for the staff team to reflect on. My experience in Brugge as city was great, Brugge is one of the most beautiful places you can stay in and I recommended fully. In the hostel however is bittersweet, I wouldn't agree with other reviews that the work is "too much" because work for the most part is simple and you can handle it, the difficulty comes in management and their lack of leadership, involvement and the worst, for me, clear communication. Hopefully those can be improve in the future. Loved my fellow volunteers <3

I had an amazing time at the hostel! There is a great vibe between workers and guests. I made strong connections even in a short period of time. We shared a room and we have access to a common area which is perfect to socialize or chill. I was able to visit Bruges during my free time however expect full days of work sometimes as the schedule depends from day to day. I had the opportunity to try lots of new skills and have big responsibilities and independence which is a great display of trust but can be quite overwhelming at times. But overall a very enriching and fun experience!!

I would not recommend this hostel. The location its nice, however they still have room for improvement. While we were there, there were three robberies and a random person tried to get into our room in the middle of the night. Also you are not considered an extra help but almost a worker. They are short staffed so they use this platform to get extra workers. If you do extra hours you get payed tho. They will make you clean the other hotel the own and the atmosphere in the hotel is far from nice.

The experience is not what you expect as a volunteer, since you are treated more as a worker. You are not an extra support, for example you can be the responsible for the cleaning of the full hostel. They try that you make extra hours all the time. It is true that you can get paid for them and if you say no, they will not force you to work, but it is uncomfortable that you have to establish limits all the times they ask you for help. Also, there were 3 thefts in the hostel during my stay and they will try that you do the cleaning of another hotel in which the environment is not nice at all.

My experience at the hostel let me to meet beautiful people that I worked with and to get to know Bruges. Charlotte as the host was always comprehensive, even thought there was some things that were out of her hands. There were some factors that made my feeling towards the hostel a little bittersweet. Factors such as the safety(2 occasions of robberies in the office at night), the poor organization of schedules(some weeks there were 2 changes of the schedule for the same week), and as a volunteer I thought that we had many responsibilities and were sometimes when everything depended on one of us.
