The tasks were generally simple and easy to follow, with a flexible schedule that left plenty of time for trips and activities. The provided food was sufficient, and the weekly staff dinner was a nice bonus. The staff and volunteers were welcoming and supportive. Cons: The living quarters were a bit cramped, and during my stay, it didn't quite have the typical backpacker hostel atmosphere.

Great experience and nice place!! The team is fabulous and willing to help you in whatever. Shifts and work hours are always respected. If you want to connect with people around the world, to share part of your time there and learn some languages it's the perfect place.

I couldn't have chosen a better place to do my first volunteering. the hostel was a cozy and warm shelter during the winter, and Nijmegen truly surprised me (It's a really cool city). Eric and Joep are incredibly welcoming and generous, and the other volunteers were just lovely. The breakfast is very abundant, the work is easy and enjoyable, and the hostel is spotless. Thanks for everything :)

It was a great experience where I was able to meet people from all over the world, connect with locals and get to know a very nice city in Netherlands . Regarding the hostel they have fulfilled everything promised, the facilities are very comfortable, the hours have always been met and the tasks were as previously agreed, everything went as expected and even better! Thank you Hostel Barbarrosa for everything! I hope to come back!

The experience at this hostel was great. I felt very comfortable, and our manager, Erick, was extremely kind and attentive. I was fortunate to meet colleagues who became lifelong friends. We received plenty of food to prepare breakfast, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the living room was where we spent most of our time. The room is quite small, and I don't think it accommodates the number of volunteers well; we felt very cramped.

I had a great time in the hostel! The bedroom is nice, good showers, the breakfast is very good and abundant, they try really hard to make everyone happy. I worked in the cleaning/housekeeping and reception shifts. Be aware that in here you can party very hard and have loads of fun, but you also have to work hard. The cleaning shift is not always pleasant, but it is worth it considering the environment and the people you get to enjoy here. Definetly in my top 5 volunteer experiences. Erick was a plus - thank you so much for everything bro, you are AWESOME. I am already missing the hostel 💙

The hostel facilities are quite simple but you got everything you need and the location is great. The work is easy and even when the hostel is busy is not hard at all, you may have to make a lot of beds on weekends but that's it. The amount of work required is exactly what agreed and you will have plenty of free time to do whatever you feel like doing it. The whole thing with the place is the people, I made really good friends and had an amazing time. Joep and Erick, thank you so much for looking after us and being such good hosts, you are the best.

Jonty and I had a great time in Nijmegen at the hostel. The city is so cute, and it's easy to get around the Netherlands to explore, especially on your 3 days off! The cleaning and reception work is straightforward and there is always someone to clarify details if needed. Be prepared to work hard, and be available to guests any time you're in a communal area. Junior and Eric are great, and we volunteered with the loveliest people! the hostel worked perfectly for our overseas trip.

The hostel is a really cool place to camp out for a couple of months or so during your travels or as a middle ground looking for a more permanent move into the Netherlands. The hostel is a work in progress - some systems could be refined - but its a nice place to live, the work is fair, and it's a lovely city (the river is perfect for summer). Erick and Junior front the management team on the ground, and they're really great people. If you need something, they try to get it done. They also really try to encourage a good volunteer culture with BBQs, shared dinners, and movie nights.
