Had my first volunteer experience at the hostel and was an awesome time! Most of the tasks were enjoyable and not too hard to learn, and the staff were always very helpful and welcoming. Can definitely recommend volunteering here if you get the chance.

This was my second volunteering experience and I really liked it. The atmosphere in the hostel was amazing and social. Everybody was really kind. The tasks varied and were fun. I enjoyed the mix of cooking dinner, bar work, food shopping and showing guests the hostel. During the shift there was also time to socialise with the guests. I can recommend volunteering here!
