The hostel was a really cool spot to explore Istanbul and meet lots of new people. The work wasn't exactly what I expected, just in the sense that it was very chill and slow majority of the time. However, there was plenty to do and experience in the area. I would definitely recommend the hostel and hope to revisit in the future

I loved my time at the hostel! I spent a lot of time in the garden discussing with other travelers and volunteers. Our shifts of 6h were usually shorter so we had a lot of time to discover the city and the neighborhood which is really nice. You will not be alone at the hostel as there is usually people in the garden or in the hostel. Also, Burak is a very good manager and is flexible if you want to ask for favors!

I stayed at the hostel for a month and had a great experience. The manager was nice, and the volunteers and guests made my time there unforgettable. The location was ideal, with easy access to everything, which allowed me to experience so much of what Istanbul has to offer. I left with wonderful memories and would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting the city!

I had the best time at the hostel! It's the perfect place for volunteers, as there's a great sense of community with both volunteers and hostel guests, and it's located in the best area of Istanbul (Kadiköy). I highly recommend this position. Thank you Burak and Ilker for choosing me as a volunteer and making sure we all had such an amazing experience in Istanbul.

The hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. The manager, Burak, helped me get acclimated and gave me freedom to create unique event offerings for the guests and staff. I felt supported every step of the way. I'm sad to be leaving such a wonderful team.
