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.

I would totally recommend volunteering at the hostel. The work is easy, the accommodation is nice, and the events organized on a daily basis enable you to connect with other travelers. The staff and volunteers were super nice and welcoming. I'm so thankful for all the people from around the world that I got to meet here. Sounds cheesy, but in these past five weeks, I have truly learned a lot, in so many ways. This was my first volunteering experience and my first time in Turkey. Grateful that it got to be at the hostel in Istanbul.

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I only planned to stay for one month, but within two weeks I knew that wouldn't be enough. The staff and volunteers were incredibly kind and welcoming, and our manager Burak was flexible and supportive. The work was fun and light, and there was always someone to explore the city with. Kadıköy became one of my favorite neighborhoods. the hostel felt like home, and I'll never forget it. Thank you for an amazing first Worldpackers experience. I hope to return soon <3 Ask ChatGPT
