Staying here was so fun! The hostel has lots of different events and social areas so it was a great place to meet other volunteers and travellers. All the staff were amazing too! The tasks were varied and not too difficult, and the shift times were clearly marked so I had lots of free time to explore the city and nearby towns and beaches. Thank you to everyone!!

I had a great time at the hostel. The team have been so friendly and grateful for the help and have given so much back. I had fun with the people, the guests and the other volunteers. Genoa is also a really cool city and you can easily visit the surrounding coastal towns and chill out on many beautiful beaches. The accommodation was great too! I actually liked being in a room with other guests as it made it easier to get to know people. Thank you for making this possible for me!

I absolutely loved my experience at the hostel! Everybody was so nice and welcoming and you can easily connect with the team and become a part of them 🤗. The room was nice and clean and you get everything for free (events, drinks, food, you can even ask for more food variation in the kitchen). Sometimes they take you to the club and you can party with the locals. That was really funny 😂. The working hours were always respected and I could often finish earlier, when I was done with the work :). Thank you so much for the great time, I'll always remember this place ❤️

My 3-week stay at the hostel was a memorable experience. I easily made new connections and had the chance to travel. Working hours were respected, and tasks were simple, though evening events sometimes brought more duties. At first, communication was difficult—no one explained my tasks, so I had to ask other volunteers. I was often alone on shift, which meant more responsibilities, but the staff was supportive. It was my first volunteer experience, and I'm happy I could be part of the team.

My experience while being at the hostel was amazing ❤️ While it may be true that it was easy for me to adapt to the environment since I can speak italian, I feel like some people may struggle with that. But no worries! With just a bit of time you will feel like one more member of the family. I will always cherish all the great food and people that I have found here. Shout-out to all the Elenas, Davide, Samu, Lolo, Kris, JUST EVERYBODY!
