Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I only planned to stay for one month, but within two weeks I knew that wouldn't be enough. The staff and volunteers were incredibly kind and welcoming, and our manager Burak was flexible and supportive. The work was fun and light, and there was always someone to explore the city with. Kadıköy became one of my favorite neighborhoods. the hostel felt like home, and I'll never forget it. Thank you for an amazing first Worldpackers experience. I hope to return soon <3 Ask ChatGPT

My experience at the hostel was wonderful!! Burak, the manager, and all the staff are nice and committed to creating a fun and friendly environment. The working hours are fair, and the neighborhood is one of the best in Istanbul!! I'm really glad I had the chance to be there :)

Had a wicked time. Coolest part of Istanbul and Burak is super helpful and kind. Also soda is the cutest dog ever! Lots of cute cafes and bars around and stuff to see. Hours are fair and the shifts give you time to explore. Highly recommend!

I volunteered at the hostel twice, and loved both experiences. Firstly, you couldn't ask for a better manager than Burak. He was welcoming from the very start, kind, friendly, great on communication, and very flexible. The volunteering is easy going, and clear instructions are given. The team both times created a fun and vibrant atmosphere, and the activities each night kept the hostel lively. It is also located in Kadıköy, which is the hipster part of Istanbul and a very fun place to be located.
