My first WP experience and it was amazing. The hours worked were as agreed from the beginning, the team was incredibly welcoming and I enjoyed the activities we had to lead (karaoke and paint & sip are my forever favorites, though). I'll forever carry the hostel at the hostel in my heart. Grazie mille to everyone here and for the lifelong friends I was lucky to meet 💛🫶🏽

I had a wonderful time at OB! All the events are a lot of fun and the environment is super friendly and welcoming. Everyone from the staff was nice and ready to help at any time. I loved the energy of the people I worked with and they made my experience truly unforgettable <3 The tasks were not difficult, but definitely helped me to develop my communication skills and made me step out of my comfort zone. If you want to find friends from all over the world, have fun in the middle of a beautiful city, and learn something new about yourself at the same time, this place is the right one for you!

Writing this review while trying not to cry :( It will be not enough words to describe atmosphere of this place. Every day is filled with smiles and warm hugs, heartfelt and genuine connections, and a staff I can wholeheartedly and sincerely call my friends. It's a home away from home that gives you the chance to fully be yourself. The tasks of a volunteer don't feel like “work” or forced responsibilities at all – every day feels like an unforgettable event spent in the company of close friends! Love, love, love ❤️

Volunteering in the hostel was super fun!! The staff receives you really well and you can definitely have so much fun with them and the guests!! They have free food in a really nice kitchen, the tasks are basically help at the events on the bar and have fun and create a good experience with the guests. Franci was the volunteers manager and I loved her. She is special and makes you feel home at the same time that teaches you how to do everything. Thanks for all the staff, guests and volunteers I met at the hostel, I will definitely go back!
