I'm very happy with my decision to volunteer in the hostel and will probably come back some day:) First of all, the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. It is one of the greener parts of the country with forest and some great trails. The other volunteers as well as the receptionist where all very kind. There are some nice places to hang out or cook with fellow volunteers, play games or watch movies which we did a lot. The working days were very doable and often we finished earlier if there were no groups staying in the hostel but that was due to the fact that it was winter.

Katarina was an incredible volunteer and we'd happily endorse her in future places of work. She integrated into our team seamlessly, and was always willing to help and brought her best every day. We wish her all the best

My experience as volunteer in the hostel was extremely positive and enriched. The place is incredibly surrounded by nature, mountains and hiking trails, which made the experience even more special. Working in such a beautiful and peaceful environment was definitely a highlight. The hosts were very welcoming, respectful and always willing to help. From the first day they clearly explained the tasks, schedules and expectations, which made adapting very easy. The work was fair and well organised, always in line with what was agreed on the profile.

So happy I had a chance to volunteer here! Great staff that are easy to work with, and great volunteers also! The area is lovely with so many hiking trails around. The work was really manageable - no more than 3hrs a day (sometimes less) changing beds and cleaning rooms. It's a very relaxed vibe at the hostel, great if you're looking for somewhere to chill out!
