The hostel very grateful for the opportunity to volunteer at “the hostel” in Haarlem, the hostel is one of the most “gezellig” (dutch word for “coziness” & "fun") places I have ever been to. The best part of this volunteering that made this an amazing volunteering experience for me, were all the volunteers and staff members that were always there to help you and cheer you up. Regarding the work, you will be taught how to everything by others, so you are never alone. Thank you to Tim and to all the volunteers for making me feel so at home and welcomed at the hostel!

This experience certainly exceeded my expectations. Haarlem is one of the most amazing cities I've ever visited, super safe and with very friendly, kind and helpful people. The hostel staff is the best I've ever met, everyone is wonderful and I loved working with them. From the beginning I felt very welcome and at home. The work itself is not difficult and is fun to do together with the other volunteers. Do yourself a favor and come here!!!! Special thanks to Tim for being the best host I could ask for. Thank you so much for all the love & attention.

My stay in the hostel Im the hostel was amazing, I stayed for 2 months and it became my home away from my country. It's a lovely place to meet locals and people from all over the world and Haarlem it's an amazing city. We do tasks like housekeeping, helping in the cafe, cleaning dishes and night shift. An especial thanks for all the staff who were amazing with me during my stay, I will miss everyone. I would recommend this volunteer to everyone.

It was a very good experience, I met new people, the hostel staff is very close, I am a very shy person and I had no problem feeling at home. They accept everyone if you sing, dance or juggle... there is no problem. I have enjoyed the movie and dance nights as well as the dinners with everyone every day (also cook sometimes :p). It is a good place to experience something good and visit a nice place in the Netherlands. I have also been able to practice my English and know new cultures worldwide. Thanks to all of you!

Really great volunteering experience. The workload was light and the tasks were easy (note I was volunteering in the low season so things could be different in the summer). The volunteers and staff were super nice and we did so many activities together from musical festivals to hikes. You get to see a different side of Haarlem and Amsterdam than you see as a tourist. The grocery budget which payed for all our meals was a real perk.

It has been a great place to do my first volunteering, the volunteers I was with were really nice but as that is different for everyone I will talk more about the staff. Since the first moment I arrived I felt really welcomed and as I was at a new home, everyone is really nice and sweet, specially Camile, Clara, Thomas, Kyle and Irini. We had some meals together and it was lovely, they gave some great advices like downloading the NS app to use the trains, places to visit or to go on the night... I feel like I could write an entire essay so I hope this can encourage new volunteers!

Definitely recommend volunteering with the hostel. The work itself is incredibly straightforward and you are never asked to do more than what was agreed upon. Sometimes during the slow season the work even ends a bit early. The next week's work schedule is reliably released every Friday. Meals are accounted for with a grocery budget shared among the volunteers. Every night one volunteer makes dinner for all of the other volunteers and it's a really cool way to try home cooked meals from other parts of the world and get to know your volunteer team. Overall great experience.
