Here are a few simple but important rules for all Worldpackers:

Respect everyone — guests, staff, and fellow volunteers.

Be punctual and responsible for your assigned shifts.

Keep the vibe positive — no gossip, negativity, or arguments.

No drugs or heavy drinking inside the property.

Maintain cleanliness in your own space and common areas.

Be proactive — if you see something that needs doing, take initiative.

Communicate openly with the manager if you face any issue or need time off.

We value honesty, good energy, and teamwork — that’s what keeps our hostel family strong.
