My stay at the hostel was a very fun experience. I had the opportunity to meet many people and do many routes in the hostel Tatras. Thanks to the other volunteers and Lisa, everything was much easier and they made me feel at home :)

This was my first worldpackers experience and it was so much fun. I loved all the people I met and I truly recommend this experience to anyone looking to reconnect with nature, meet new people, and overall just have a great time working at a nice hostel. I hope to be able to return one day!

Volunteering at Hikers Paradise and the hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. The tasks were simple — changing bed sheets, reception, cleaning— but the overall experience was so much more than that. I had a great time, met many fascinating people, and truly enjoyed every moment. What I loved most was the location — you can go hiking in the mountains almost every day! 🗻 Big thanks to Lisa for being incredibly helpful, patiently answering all the questions, giving great hiking recommendations, organizing fun activities for the volunteers and making the place feel like home ❤️

I had a amazing time at Sherpas/hikers hostel. The people I met here I grew to love and the experience surpassed my expectations, by the end of my two weeks I was sad to leave. The jobs are not difficult and leave you plenty of time to go hiking. Lisa was great at writing me little notes every day with what tasks I had. Would definitely recommend if you love hiking !
