I had a great experience volunteering at the hostel. The job was pretty easy, and I had a lot of free time to explore the area. The owner, Abdullah, was very kind and always available if I needed anything, but overall everything ran smoothly. The hostel has an excellent location, which is definitely one of its best features. If you're looking for a place to volunteer this is a solid choice. I really enjoyed my time there!

My experience at the hostel was peaceful, I learned a lot, made new friends, and had fun. The hostel is very simple, but it has a good location and the people who work there are very friendly. The host is also a very nice and friendly guy. I hope I have contributed to improving the hostel and creating a pleasant environment.

Horrible volunteering, the work is really easy but it lasts almost the whole day, it starts at 8 am and goes until 1 pm then goes again from 5 pm to 7 pm practically all day, the installation is horrible, the place is disgusting and It stinks really bad I don't hope anyone goes

He is very young, he is 18 years old. In fact, it was not right to accept him. The first day he did not want to work because he was tired. The next day he worked only for 1 or 2 days.

At the same time, 3 volunteer people worked at the facility. I only had a problem with him. I never asked him to work hard. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to work a total of 5-6 hours. Also, breakfast starts after 9. How can work start at 7? He is a liar and not a trustworthy person. Please be careful.

El lugar es algo desordenado pero la gente es muy amable las tareas son relajadas lo más pesado es limpiar las escaleras son 5 pisos. Como mujer tuve habitación compartida solo con la señora de la cocina arany de Indonesia una excelente persona, los hombres si compartían habitación con los huéspedes, el lugar es muy central pues recorrer y caminar los lugares turisticos. Importante que te guíes por los comentarios de Google visualmente faltan cosas por mejorar, yo logre organizar el horario solo en la mañana para poder conocer y disfrutar de los atardeceres de estambul. Cualquier duda me escri
