I've been volunteering for 3 years now and this place is a gem. If you are social and not afraid to approach people and animate a group, this job is for you! The hostel is beautiful and Como is magical as well, but what makes this place so special is the staff. (Love them all) Joana is incredibly flexible and the kindest person you'll ever meet. Don't even think twice, just go. xxx

I had the best time working at the hostel and would recommend the hostel to anyone! As this was my first worldpackers experience, I didn't know what to expect but the staff made sure I was welcome and I quickly felt part of the team. The actual work was really rewarding and fun while the hostel itself has great facilities and is such a great backdrop to meet other travellers and locals. I truly have no complaints for my stay here and I cannot wait to come back and visit the friends I made in the future! Thank you the hostel you were wonderful :)

The hostel was a truly amazing and rewarding experience I will cherish for many years to come. The staff were all exceptionally nice and helpful, which made for a really easy work environment. In terms of the work itself, it's super easy and very rewarding to be forming connections and friendships with so many new and interesting people from around the world on a daily basis. The hours are also relatively flexible and Joana was able to give me two days off in a row consistently, which allowed for potential side trips. I cannot recommend this stay enough and I am truly grateful!

This was such an amazing experience! It was my first Worldpacker's experience and I'm so glad I chose to come to the hostel. Everyone was so welcoming and so kind. I immediately felt that I was apart of the OBC family.Working at the hostel was also super fun, you get to do so many cool activities and meet people from all over the world. OBC is the most social hostel I've stayed at and I'm so grateful to have met so many wonderful people. Como and the hostel are such a beautiful place and I am grateful to have been able to explore it. Highly recommend this experience !!

My experience at the hostel was amazing. It was great to meet people from all over the world and the work is very simple. As long as you are a social person you will enjoy this experience. The staff are amazing and always made me feel welcome from the first day. Como is a beautiful city and it's in a great location to do day trips to surrounding cities. I highly recommend this experience!
