I had a great time and can recommend this experience. From time to time it was a little chaotic because the project is still new but I am sure everything will get sorted out in the future. The work was easy-going due to me visting off-season. If you want a full house you might rather choose a stay during summer. Anyways, the mountains do not disappoint. I, personally, wanted to see some snow and I did not only that but frozen waterfalls and lakes. It was great.

Let me just be clear on two things: 1. The host was super nice and kind to me 2. This wasn't at the hostel but at another of his locations in Bratislava that is guest-run. I'll be honest, I left after a day. The whole thing was sketchy. While it was a last minute trip, it felt like they weren't used to/prepared to have volunteers at all. There was one other staff member, but she was gonna leave in a few days. Kinda felt like it I was supposed to run this entire hostel alone (I don't mind helping, but this wasn't pre-explained). Bottles everywhere, gross floors, sketchy guests. Overall not fun.

My experience in Sherpas Hostel was amazing. I totally recommend it. The landscape is beautiful and there are a lot of public transport connections to other parts of the mountain or other cities. It is a great place to connect with nature, have fun and meet new people.

We had a really nice time in Bratislava, the tasks were easy and we had a lot of free time. Marian is very chill and nice person. I recommend this place. P.S. We did not volunteer in the hostel but in Bratislava.

Had a wonderful time at the hostel! The work is very reasonable and since we were there during the low season, lighter than usual. I had the opportunity to do so much hiking and really immerse in nature. Marián is easy to communicate and reasonable, I look forward to see what they create as they open more hostels in the future. Such a homey environment that created an intimate space to allow travelers to connect. But I believe the vibe and space is created by how much effort you put in to it :)

I had a great time here and stayed for 3 weeks It is a gorgeous part of the world with tons of amazing hikes to do. The hostel itself is cozy and comfortable and I met lots of really amazing people here. The only thing I would say is as a solo female volunteer, if there hadnt been another really amazing volunteer who was there with me, I wouldn't have felt completely comfortable there alone and probably would've left early. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about that. However, overall a really cool place and I am glad came.

Best volunteering ever. Jan & Marian worry not only about the hostel but, also about you. The work can be done easily and the apartment is modern-cozy. Also there are people from everywhere coming to this hostel and the views are incredible. Take care at night because of the 🐻. Anyway if you want to go deeply into the wild, respect the space, be clean and feel good with the hosts and people then, you're welcomed! Thank you🤙🏼

Had a lovely experience at the hostel. Workload was fairly simple and routinely (mainly changing sheets and generally maintaining cleanliness) and the surrounding environment is absolutely stunning. Communication with the host was always clear. Would highly recommend for those looking for a mountain escape with an opportunity to meet other travellers! :)
