I really enjoyed the five weeks I volunteered in the hostel. The position is great to explore the city or the region in general. the hostel is very nice too! You have enough space, always people around and everything you need is provided. The work is easy as well. Depending on how much is going on in the hostel you have more or less things to do. Sometimes you were expected to do tasks for the first without someone really explaining it to you. I feel like the communication could be a bit better here but everyone was kind and helped you if you needed something. I will really miss the hostel!

I absoltely loved my stay at the hostel and am very glad my friend recommended them to me! They were super friendly and laid-back and I could easily connect with the staff and the other volunteers as well. I spent a total of two weeks there but needed to go home to take an exam and come back and they were flexible and helpful to accommodate my special request. I'm very grateful to have spent my first Worldpackers experience with them and can't recommend them enough!:)

It was such a fun experience staying at the hostel, the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and with the work focusing on the evening activities, you get to meet the wonderful guests as well!! The city is beautiful and is surrounded with so many beautiful smaller cities, so you'll never be bored. I really recommend the whole experience!!

I really loved my stay here! I enjoyed talking to people from different countries and getting to know their lifestyle and thoughts. The location is also great! I traveled to smaller towns and villages and the views were just breathtaking. The people working there are wonderful! The shifts were okay and not that difficult, even though the morning ones are a bit hard to do physically. The only problem was that I didn't get the promised days off( Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others!

The experience overall was good. Nice people and a hostel with good standards. However I would not recommend this if you travel with someone else. The whole experience was made for only solo travelers and not couples. Me and my friend volunteered for two weeks and we never worked the same shifts so it was impossible to travel together In our spare time because one of us always worked. If you travel alone, I could recommend this hostel.

I had a great time at the hostel! There's always something happening : activities, events, and lots of opportunities to meet new people. The team is super friendly and helpful and the hostel is beautiful ! Good to know => the tasks are very varied and can be quite intense. You might start your shift carrying heavy bags of linen, then clean common areas, help out at the bar and kitchen, and even manage private parties with 30 people the same night. Sometimes, I felt it was maybe a bit too much for a volunteer position, and not exactly what I had expected. But overall, cool hostel and nice staff.

Thank you Charlotte! Your feedback is very important to us, that's why we've decided to add another volunteer and have in total 4 per time so maybe the tasks could be divided and easier to carry out. We really hope you'll come and visit us!

My time here was so fun! the hostel& surroundings are beautiful& the schedule allows you to do many trips. I met awesome people, my time here felt like a long sleepover! You get food& drinks for free, which was very nice. But the position lacks managment& communication: I worked 25h/week instead of 18h (what we had agreed). You don't get explained anything about the job (only the other volunteers do it), which is overwhelming at first. You also often work longer than your shift is (housekeeping). So even if I had a great time, and the hostel itself is lovely, the job needs to be improved.

Hi Charlotte, I'm sorry for the problems you encountered, you didn't tell it to me or to the others. Regarding the job, I've already changed the amount of hours on Worldpackers, my fault! I thought that another volunteer who has already accomplished the tasks could explain them better than us. But we keep in high consideration your suggestions because they help us improve our offer, so thank you for everything!!

Overall I had a mostly great time at the hostel, I met amazing people I loved to explore the area around Genoa and it was easy to do day trips as you mostly work in the evenings. Most of the staff were really nice. However you should prepare to sometimes work longer than your shift is and the host did not give me the free days that we agreed upon, after stating the issue they were not willing to change anything. Instead they made me leave a day early which led to me being super stressed the last few days until I had to activate WP Safeguard to not sleep on the streets on my last night.

First of the Deal you get here is great. For the work you do you get so much in return, better than anywhere else I've been. The team is very nice, the rooms are comfortable and the hostel is an amazing city to explore. The only problem is the communication. When I arrived nobody really told me what to do and even after I figured it out, you often didn't fully know what to do. So it's a nice stay but two weeks where enough. Would still recommend.

I really loved my stay here! The surroundings and the Hostel are beautiful and the Volunteers get all food and drinks for free. Also a big shoutout to the staff, who made me feel so welcome and appreciated. I made a lot of friends in that time! Only bad thing is the management. I got accepted for a position with 18 hours, but ended up having to work 25 a week and even more. The work itself is really fun but it's not really being explained to you by anyone but the other volunteers! But still, I can only recommend going, just check your hours! Much love🫶🏽
