The Experience

We’re looking for all kinds of awesome people :) Now we mostly need help with housekeeping. In nice weather, we need creatives to paint our tarrace fence, handy folks for small renovations and general painting, or even yogis to lead some chill classes. When you're not helping out, we've got epic hikes, kayaking, a sauna, jacuzzi, cold plunges, and the northern lights dancing overhead. Arctic vibes, good times.

From the first day I arrived at the hostel until the last, I felt very comfortable with the permanent staff. Silvia is a very kind and understanding person; I learned so much from her. She was always available for campaign work with the utmost willingness, collaborating closely, making me feel comfortable, resolving different situations, and ensuring that I always enjoyed my work. She is very flexible. As for the volunteer team members with whom I shared my days, I thank each and every one of them for their kindness and the strong bond we shared until the very end.

My experience at the hostel was extremely fun, I learnt a lot about how a hostel works and I felt truly appreciated. I came there to do some cleaning, housekeeping and general maintenance of the building, but I ended up also handling reception and customer service. I wasn't required to, but I just enjoyed it a lot. I had multiple chances to establish nice connections with travelers, hike around the Lofoten islands and see the northern lights. The place is extremely cozy, has stunning scenery all around it and it exactly matches the vibes of what I would consider a perfect hostel.

I had a great time at this lovely little hostel! I didn't have much time there unfortunately and would have loved to stay longer! There were some really pretty walks/hikes around the place and it was really cute and cosy. I loved meeting the other volunteers and making friends with them! I would recommend :)

My stay at the hostel was great. I did different tasks like painting, housekeeping and fixing stuff, so I was never bored. Sylwia gave me a lot of autonomy on the tasks and she is always open to suggestions and ideas on improvement. The pace is relaxed and flexible, so there is plenty of time for hiking around Fredvang where there are stunning mountains and views. In the hostel there are travellers from all around the world so you can exchange many good stories. On top of that, I saw northern lights many times. An unforgettable experience! Thanks for everything!
