Hostel Volunteer Coordinator

It was a good experience overall!! the shifts were long and boring and sometimes felt like a paid job but without the wage, which could be a bit frustrating, since some employees treated us like one of them and not as actual volunteers. the good thing is that we had 4 days off per week which gave us plenty of free time, and the scheduling was pretty flexible thanks to the lovely antonella!! also, there wasn't really a social hostel vibe, but i was very lucky to share the experience with other super nice volunteers which made the experience even better.

This volunteer opportunity was a great way to experience the beautiful city of Copenhagen. The volunteer experience is okay. The staff are nice and the work isn't too bad but compared to other experiences, you're treated as an unpaid employee, not a volunteer. This is a corporate owned hostel focused on families and freelancers so if you're looking for an unforgettable travellers experience. This is not it. Thank you to the volunteer manager Antonella for all of your help and assistance during our stay at the hostel you did a great job coordinating the volunteers :)

This is a good option if you want to stay in Copenhagen for free while exploring the city. Tasks are similar to paid staff and the standard expected is the same, so it feels more like unpaid work than volunteering. However, the team is kind and respectful — especially Antonella, the volunteer coordinator, who is truly lovely and helpful. Breakfast is available after guests eat, and volunteers share one room (cleaned by themselves). I learned practical skills, but the real value came from my time outside the hostel. Thank you, Antonella! <3

Lovely experience! The worker and volunteers were all super friendly and welcoming. The work is 3x8 hr shifts so that gives you a solid 4 days of being able to explore the city and surrounding areas which is super nice. What really made the experience so wonderful were the other volunteers, I was super lucky, and was there with a great group of people.

The team treats volunteers as equals, and I was lucky with my roommates. I liked that the volunteer dorm had its own fridge. Live music on weekends created bonding opportunities. Breakfast is served daily, sometimes also dinner, but better planning would help. The 3 long shifts/week allow 4 days off to explore. The hostel isn't very central; a bike subscription helps. I'd prefer gender-separated rooms and better communication when new volunteers arrive. Shifts can be uneventful, rooms not always clean, and volunteers carry too much responsibility (teaching new volunteers or „real workers“)

Although the workload was sometimes heavy and I had to speak directly with the manager to set some boundaries, I met people with truly beautiful hearts. I found interesting workliving with volunteers from all kinds of backgrounds and ages. They taught me how to stop being such a grandma! I even left with my first tattoo♥️ Michael o' leary will be proud of this company and that is a shame! So l wish all the good workers the best. Bon courage, guys! 💪 Today, I can say that I have a house and a job in CPH thanks to those who encouraged and help me during my stay🥰 Thank you, Irayda

Great things about the hostel: The schedule is very well respected (sometimes you can even finish earlier). The group of volunteers I was with was amazing. The hotel staff are super friendly and fun—they help you with everything. And you have a lot of free time to explore the city. Negative/room-for-improvement things: Volunteers work just as much as the paid staff (sometimes even more). The people in charge don't seem to value that help at all. They can be quite stingy—e.g., they don't restock food or refuse to clean the volunteers' room. The kitchen available is too small and always dirty.

I had an amazing Time there! I met great people and as first volunteering that was great ! But it's not a hostel, that is a hotel with shared bedrooms, so the vibe is different. Also, it's little bit far from the city center but transportations are great so that was okay! Amalia has a special vibe but the rest of the staff is great, I loved them ! you can also ask to change your shift if needed, and the tasks are not that hard. Beautiful experience, I'll never forget it ! ❤️

I really had a great time in Copenhagen, mostly of the friends I met there. I felt really lucky for my roomates. I felt like the hostel was dirty and at first they didn't allow the cleaning staff to clean the volunteers' room. Also sometimes I felt like as volunteers we were working more than we should. The schedule was respected and flexible, so that was nice. Another thing I didn't appreciate is that the manager didn't allow the buffet to be restocked for the staff and volunteers. She was very stingy. Finally i want to thank Modrick and Daniel for being so helpful

My second time here and sadly it has not improved. The environment is NOT welcoming at all. The host hotel manager (Amailia) sadly does not care/has any interest in the volunteer group. Karin is a sweet heart but even she cant keep the experience positive enough to enjoy ( she's not a manager just a full time employee ) No proper training, you get thrown and learn on your own through trail and error.Most staff does not have time or patience to teach ( the managers should doing it! ) World packers shouldnt be treated as actual workers but support help. They dont deserve the WP program at all
