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 incredible! The entire staff treated me extremely well and quickly made me part of the team. The hostel's facilities are comfortable, the location is perfect, the kitchen is well-equipped, and also I had a space to work remotely. Organizing the activities to entertain the guests was totally fluid and I enjoyed them a lot. I was able to contribute my knowledge and creativity and also I had the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world. If you want to live a volunteer experience where you feel at home, I recommend doing it here :)

I spent 1 month at the hostel, and I'm beyond grateful for this incredible volunteer experience. Everything exceeded my expectations, the hostel is cozy, comfortable, and perfectly located, right by the hostel! The staff are amazing, always welcoming with a smile and creating a warm, homey atmosphere. The activities (which I led) were super fun, like karaoke nights packed with locals and travelers. It was an unforgettable experience, full of great moments and new friendships. I also loved how well-organized everything was, making it easy to enjoy the hostel to the fullest! Can't wait to return!

If you ask me where to volunteer, my answer is gonna be always the hostel. It`s incredible how every time i am there, i really feel as if i was at home. In this particular city, not only with the staff i became friends, also the locals give you the chance to be part of and learn about them. All the schedules and tasks were always respected, you`re gonna feel comfortable and have the space to talk whenever you need to do it. I will never stop saying that i found a home. the hostel è una casa, non è un albergo, e questi bellissimi ricordi rimarranno sempre nel mio cuore. Grazie raga <3

This is a great opportunity to get to know the beautiful Como and the surrounding, practice Italian, have a lot of fun and make incredible friends. Thank you Lucía, Joana, Jo, Alex and Vaio <3

The hostel was a true family environment both for the staff and the guests. I was first worried cause I had no experience in a hostel but the team made it look so easy for me. They helped with everything and I felt at home. The tasks were clear and everyone respected daily working hours. I've had the best time and got to know amazing people!
