I had a great time at the hostel. The hostel and the rooms were nice, the tasks were managable and even fun. The Hostel is located a bit outside of Den Haag, so you will have to take a short drive into the city center, but the station is not far from the hostel. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice hostel that allows you to explore Den Haag and the rest of the Netherlands. Its not really social in terms of meeting the guests but you will have a lot of other volunteers/staff around you to hang out with!

My experience at the hostel hotel was amazing! The breakfast is really, really good, the managers are very flexible and explain the tasks very well. The housekeeping and bar staff are very kind and always willing to help with anything you need. Communication with Dennis, who is in charge of the place, was excellent. I would definitely come back here 🙌

My experience there was very good, it's a place where you can meet people, practice your English and finally walk around the city and enjoy yourself. The only negative thing I found was that there was a time when I didn't have many volunteers, so the supervisors didn't want to give me the weekend off, so I had to work without flexibility. But all the hours were respected, don't worry, I only worked 20 hours a week and I never worked more than that. About the hotel owner, he is a very nice person. I told him to extend my stay and he managed to give me another month, so it was perfect

It was a great experience, the host and the hotel staff were great. Thank you everyone for your patience and hospitality. I also received help from some Worldpackers. chevere I learned about housekeeping. The breakfast was delicious and varied. In my free time, I visited Amsterdam and the canals. It's a very beautiful country, very well organized. I would come back and visit again. It's a beautiful country. I wish everyone the best from your Peruvian friend. Blessings, Jaqueline.

My experience in Rijswijk was pleasant. I immediately felt good with all the volunteers and the team. The work is really easy, and you even have the opportunity to choose your own schedule, giving you a break. The rooms have private, comfortable beds, occupied by volunteers. The area is close to the city center, large parks, and The Hague. I immediately became fond of the staff, whom I greet warmly, Karyna, Rasim, and Hilde are wonderful people. Dennis is always present and available, and he takes great care of any issues, which makes him an excellent host. I recommend this place!
