This was my first time doing social volunteering and at first I felt a bit overwhelmed as it's a big hostel, but as the time passed, I really came out of my shell and had an absolute BLAST. the hostel is by far my favourite hostel I ever stayed at. Everyone is super welcoming and helpful, I truly felt like home. Some days when the hostel is busy, the work can be a bit much, but I wouldn't complain at all as the benefits volunteers receive make up for that big time. I highly recommend this experience for everyone who loves to meet new people and isn't scared of the spotlight. Ti amo, the hostel!

I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at OB the hostel for two weeks. The atmosphere was very comfortable and familial, the work was very fair and the staff were all amazing and friendly and communicated well. The location, the facilities and the activities were all great, and I had the best time between working, exploring the city and meeting new people. Would go there again without hesitation. :)

I really enjoyed my experience here, everyone was very welcoming and kind! Both staff and the hostel guests were respectful and engaging. I stayed with other volunteers in a 6 bed dorm (triple bunkbeds) with an en-suite bathroom. The work was straightforward and management showed me what I needed to do in the hostel.

My time as a volunteer at the OB the hostel came to an end and i am still sad about leaving this place. It has been one of the best volunteering experiences i ever had. The staff was the friendliest i have ever seen and i got along with them so well. I would highly recommend anyone who is a social butterfly to volunteer at this Hostel because i know you will have one of the best times in your life in this Hostel. I've made some great connections there and hopefully i can come back again if i have the time.

I was volunteering for 6 months after my first connection with OB the hostel back in December. And all those 6 month I was dreaming of coming back because it's literally the best place, best volunteering and the best people around ♥️ If you want to immerse yourself in Italian culture and get a lot of unforgettable memories - this is the place to do it!
