My time at Hiker's and Sherpa's was so much fun! The work is easy and there is so much time to hike and explore the hostel, and the nature is beautiful. Lisa, the manager, and the other volunteers were all so lovely and really made the experience!

I had such an amazing time at the hostel!! Such a great first Worldpackers experience that has definitely inspired me to do more! Lisa was so welcoming and helpful and everyone I met and worked with was so fun to be around! I was so sad to leave but would highly recommend to anyone thinking of applying!

Working at the Hiker's the hostel was an amazing experience- the facilities were great, the work was fulfilling and I felt motivated to helpful and hospitable because of the environment the hostel creates. The nature surrounding the hostel is breathtaking and between working hours and days off there's plenty of opportunity to explore the mountains and area, as well as taking a bus or train to a nearby city(I had time to both hike Rsys and also visit Budapest on my days off). Overall it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.
