I truly understand now how it feels to not want to leave volunteering, and didn't expect to feel this so deeply. I had so much fun that I would forget that i was a volunteer, and I'd enjoy the times that i was on shift very much because its still chill and I enjoyed the responsibilities that I was given. The most bloody awesome people come to this place and I have had more meaningful connections here than I can express, it felt like a home. I want this hostel to be a secret bc I love it so much but everyone deserves to see this place for themselves. You can't beat the hostel!!

My stay at the hostel was a truly perfect first volunteering experience. I'd recommend this to any funky, outdoorsy person. The shifts are created in a way that allowes you to do big hikes. The staff is lovely and I'm gonna miss them all. The view from the porch is amazing! Shout out to Milly;))

The hostel is home away from home. I felt like a part of that place since my first day and I would stay forever if I could. The hostel is cosy and loved by every guest. People come back and there's a reason for that. The work is always fairly distributed among the volunteers. It's not easy but anyone could do it. I already miss the porch view and Fabi's tacos. If you like the mountains and are ready to learn I'm sure you'll make a great volunteer. I met some amazing people here and it was hard to say goodbye.

I had the best time at the hostel! The job is not too difficult and it is well explained at the beginning and there's always someone who will help you. The Tatra mountains around the hostel are beautiful. Definitely recommend!!

The hostel is truly a home away from home. The work is as agreed with many days off to explore the wonderful tatra mountains. I will forever be impacted by the wonderful community within the hostel. I feel blessed for the opportunity to make so many wonderful friends both volunteers and guests. This time has allowed me to grow both in personality and confidence with my skills, such as managing bookings, talking to guests and offering hiking advice. I couldn't gush about the hostel more! And if this review can't convince you then Fabian's amazing tacos should do the trick!
