This was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have chosen a better place! The host received me very well and constantly gave me tips about the city, besides always being very kind and careful with me. The work was very simple and quick to do and the hours were always well respected. In addition, the host also had a lot of flexibility in relation to the days off, when there was not much movement. I will carry this experience in my heart forever!

I do not recommend!! I was kicked out after 2 weeks because of a missunderstanding over text. Instead of talking to me he sent his wife over to insult my work and me as a person (I've spoken to her for 2 min. before this). Tim did not ever speak to me afterwards. He is manipulative, trying to make the volunteers feel guilty for staying „for free“ (aka free labor 30h/week). He couldn't remember any of our names, always interrupted and always felt offended when we said something (like asking for a better training). The building is under construction, barely any guests - work was chill tho.

Let's get some facts straight and explain with transparency in more detail. We excepted you on this platform with the hours shown and agreed along with the working conditions expected, all listed.


We expect volunteers to be;

Courteous,
Respectful,
Appreciative,
Kind,
Considerate,
Polite,

Towards staff and fee paying guests. You displayed a blatant disregard to towards our business and showed no gratitude whatsoever, volunteering is not by force however it's certainly seem to be from your side. Your mannerism and attitude was unacceptable and certainly not suitable for the hospitality industry.

We asked you to leave on this basis as our business was being affected dramatically.

If any hosts wishes to contact us, we can explain in more detail about this person and the situation that has arisen.

My 5th Worldpackers in a row, after four true five star experiences- this one was not good. I left two weeks easily in solidarity of another volunteer being kicked out early for no good reason. Facilities provided were great- Tim is not a bad person. I did have some issues with his leadership style. We did not get very much training- often we only learned we had done something wrong because we were not told otherwise. Also, the way check ins/outs is not organized and requires scrolling through WhatsApp. Communicating proved difficult, it was hard to get a word in, often felt belittled

Sincerely, in all honesty, this person was toxic while staying in our building, she influenced other people in a negative way. Was mostly interested in having days off, than being committed and enthusiastic. Our words are not malicious or biased, they are a factual encounter of what we've experience from this person. Sarah was very confrontational and argumentative and was not ready to listen. She also mentions about training. We have gave a detailed written schedule about the work involved . We honestly don't believe there is much training about a mop and a brush, good work ethic must come from within and common sense must prevail. This person was not committed and must understand we invite all volunteers into our business and we do not appreciate ill mannered behaviour.

We have some 77 reviews at 4.7 occasionally and most regrettably we do have people like you joining us.

Tim accepted me for this volunteering but I was obliged to go after the first week. Bad and good,I hope he learn from it: He is bad manager: he criticizes u in front of all- he threatens to fire if u don't follow exactly-he doesn't stop complaining - he monopolizes speech and doesn't accept when u defend ur self-he doesn't accept mistakes or give another chance before blaming u-he exaggerate-he is funny (at least for me)-he's not a good listener -he could be extremely friendly and change to extremely rude-i liked the cultural exchange we had-contact me for details, space is limited here.

❗️A VERY STRANGE ENCOUNTER ❗️

MARIA STAYED 4 FOUR DAYS ONLY

Original dates were 90 days, we accept Maria hoping she would be beneficial for us.

( BUT STRANGELY INFORMED US )

On the first working day her fingers were very sore after cleaning the oven, apparently her fingers prints were worn out due to cleaning and couldn't open her iPhone recognition system.

We was asked to provide a cleaning apron and mask for the work duties and we did, but then Maria decided that this experience was not for her.

We did learn from talking to Maria that she did not fully read the work commitment that was asked of her on this platform, the work was too much for Maria to deal with and she left rather PROMPTLY.

❗️A COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT & A WASTE OF OUR TIME

La experiencia en el hostel fue muy buena. Las tareas son sencillas se basan principalmente en la limpieza de los dormitorios, baños y cocina. Luego en la tarde tareas de recepción para recibir a los huéspedes. Luego que las aprendes llevan pocas horas y fáciles de realizar. Tim y Kate son personas muy amable y te explican todo pero a su vez bastante exigentes en cuanto a los cuidados del hostel. Si bien el hostel no es céntrico, hay buses que te llevan al centro en 15 min y puedes recorrer Liverpool! Muy agradecida por la experiencia.

Liverpool es una ciudad muy especial, si eres fan de los Beatles, es imperdible. El hostal está bastante cerca , en bus, del centro. Colaborar aquí te permite conocer la ciudad y hacer un montón de panoramas. Las tareas de limpieza son sencillas y no te quita mucho tiempo del día. Además, los días libres son flexibles y los puedes pedir según tus necesidades.

El lugar cuenta con instalaciones apropiadas para dormir, cocinar y pasar el tiempo con comodidad, las tareas que debíamos hacer se informaban cada mañana, empezábamos a las 10am y cuando terminabas las tareas tenías el resto del día libre por lo que se podía aprovechar el día para visitar diferentes lugares, además también teníamos días libres cuando no había tareas que realizar, el administrador y su señora siempre fueron muy amables y respetuosos conmigo, muy pacientes para comunicarnos a pesar que mi nivel de inglés no es bueno.

The Pod was my first WorldPackers experience and it was beyond my expectations. Joseph is the perfect host !! Always kind and helpful, plus the job was really clear and reasonable. The place is 10 minutes away from the city center and everything you need is very close. I warmly recommend experiencing The Pod !!
