Night Manager at a Backpackers Hostel in Malta

Colombia

2

The Hostel: Undergoing adjustments and improvements. Volunteering: Tasks were not clearly defined, and you often had to ask what needed to be done. English Practice: Some opportunity to practice, but most people spoke Spanish, so it was limited. Location: Not centrally located, and public transport in the area is unreliable. Comfort & Hospitality: The volunteer room lacked privacy due to frequent access. Staff communication was often passive aggressive, with little patience for new volunteers. Mattresses were old and uncomfortable.

unfortunatelly we were not a great match, she arrived clearly in the need of accomodation asap and we made space for her.

first shift she was 30 min late, second shift she got confused and thought her shift was finishing 1.5 hours before, third shift she arrived half an hour late claiming she lost her passport and had to go get it back, so a clear lack of organization in general. Not any personal issues, she was a quite guess, mostly to herself.

When told what to do she was active.

This was my first volunteer and the truth is that it was a very nice experience. The place is spacious, comfortable and they have an interesting project in the hostel, with a lot of desire to grow, I really liked to contribute a grain of sand and collaborate in it. We shared good talks, group dinners and a very nice atmosphere was generated. I felt very comfortable and brought me a nice relationship with the other volunteers. Thank you for the opportunity! 🫶🏻

The hostel has a good location, about a 10-minute from points of interest. The guests who stay there are cool. However, the rooms are poor; the mattress is thin and old, the volunteer room has people coming in all the time since it's also where tools are stored, there's a lot of noise from the street, and the windows have no soundproofing or curtains, the quality of sleep is low. I've seen situations where the owner of the hostel even yelled at volunteers. But the biggest problem is the manager, an arrogant person who creates conflicts and talks badly about people to others (including the owner)

The Hostel - Practically new and has undergoing some adjustments and improvements. Volunteering - There are three shifts for volunteers and the morning and evening activities are similar: Cleaning of the collective areas, kitchen, and bathrooms. In the afternoon shift cleaning of rooms, refrigerators, cupboards and, barbecue etc. English - There are always guests at the hostel and you can practice your English with them or the other volunteers. Malta - Buses in Malta do not have a specific timetables and you never know what time they will pass.

Desde que llegue me recibieron como si formara parte del equipo desde siempre y esto hizo que me sintiera como en casa. Las instalaciones del hostal están en muy buenas condiciones y siempre se lleva a cabo vida en común con el resto de voluntarios y huéspedes lo que hace que la convivencia sea mas cómoda y divertida. ¡Muy buena experiencia y muy recomendado! :))

Tuvimos una muy buena experiencia en este voluntariado. Nos recibieron de la mejor manera y desde el inicio nos sentimos a gusto con los demás voluntarios. Respetaron nuestras horas de trabajo y días libres, y siempre tomaron en cuenta nuestras opiniones para organizar las tareas. Fue un intercambio muy positivo que recomendamos sin dudas. ¡Gracias por todo!

El hostel es un lugar hermoso, la casa es amplia con unas terrazas preciosas, el espacio del jardin trasero perfecto para una fogata, noche de tertulia y un delicioso vino caliente, me sentí a gusto con mis compañeros voluntarios y fuimos de trekking varias veces, agradezco a Enzo y al equipo por tan grata recepción, me siento orgullosa de haber puesto un granito de arena en el Hostel para que cada día esté más lindo, muchas gracias por la oportunidad.
