Hostel Work for Free Accomodation

I stayed at the hostel for 3 weeks, and I have to say that it was a very good experience. The people who work there are really friendly, the place is very warm and comfortable. The breakfasts were also very complete. Work hours are respected. Weimar is a small city but you have interesting places to see, and by train you can go to see other cities. I am very grateful to everyone, I hope we see each other again! :)

Having spent around 3 weeks I have to say that I enjoyed working at the hostel, all the staff are amazing people, always helpful, kind, with such good vibes. For me the most important and the best 🌟 Some tasks may be challenging at times but overall they are ok 👌 Having said that, Weimar is a place I wouldn't recommend staying for over 2 weeks, although you can travel around and sightsee more cities.

I came to the hostel to volunteer and I noticed so many red flags. The receptionist, Martin, is aggressive and ill-tempered, making my coworkers afraid to approach him. The shower head in our room was broken, and while it was eventually fixed, the repairman left his tools in the bathroom so he can pop in anytime and collect them ❓ The workload is exhausting, and the tasks are demanding-like taking the leaves where human feces were found 🤮. On my final day, the trainee Aamir sexually assaulted me and asked me to a fight. On the prior day he repeatedly asked if my coworker was a woman❓

I'd like to give a statement to your feedback.

Firstly, my technician forgot his tool after repairing the shower and yes, he is allowed to enter all the rooms but before he does he always knocks. We have to check all rooms constantly because we have different guests coming and going on a daily basis.

Secondly, the description says that it can be tough and tiring at times but with the right mindset and spirit, it can be fun, too. Talking about leaves: On some days you had to collect the leaves and usually my technician only needs approximately one hour to finish, you on the contrary needed at least 4h. In the end, all that mattered to me was that the work was done.

Lastly, I don't know what kind of perception you have but your accusations are all lies! The supervisor and another volunteer were there when you had a heated discussion. Even the CCTV could prove that you lied. I asked the coworker if my student really asked him if he was a woman and he said no!

Volunteering at the hostel was great! The staff was friendly, and I usually got along with the other worldpackers. The work is easy to get, and the staff is there to help you as well if needed. The food provided usually filled me up and was delicious!

If you are looking for a social and entertaining hostel/environment, this is not your place. When we arrived there nobody told us what to do or where to go, and even more, the first contact with the staff was pretty bad. The work is not a volunteering work. The company hires less workers in order to take more volunteers (no to pay those salaries), so the volunteers are working as much as the workers there, but of course, without any salary. They provide you food for breakfast and dinner that is quite good, but you work that much that you dont even feel going out. I would never recommend it.

It was my first experience working in a hostel. The atmosphere is nice, lots of tourists and students. Although the tasks are a bit hard, they are easy to do. Weimar is a lovely city, clean, organized, with a nice bus system and which offers lots of culture possibilities. It's worth to know!

La experiencia fue muy buena en general, el equipo era muy amable y habia un buen ambiente de trabajo, las instalaciones y las habitaciones eran suficientes para estar comodo. Sin embargo aunque el anfitrión promete cenas incluidas esto no siempre se cumple, depende de la gente que vaya en ese momento al hostal y page cena. En mi caso fui dos semanas y solo hubo cena una semana.

This was my first experience as a Worldpacker and it was generally good. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, the accommodation was cosy, and the breakfast was really good. The tasks are average for any hospitality venue, and they are very respectful of your working times and your free time. I only wish there were some integration activities to get to know the other team members or to have some different things to do other than your job or just being on your own. Weimar is such a beautiful but quiet city, though there are some other cities nearby by train that you can visit :)

We had to leave early because of personal reasons but the experience overall was good. We worked with a really nice group of international employees. The work is not hard but a little tiring. The rooms are clean and spacious. We came on off season so the town was a little quiet so I would recommend doing as many day trips as you can. Also, it's mostly locals in the town who aren't used to having many international tourists, so I would recommend picking up some German phrases before your trip. Overall it was a good experience and I learned a lot! Prost!

Before we arrived, Nhung was super helpful and communicative. It made us feel comfortable immediately. My friend and I had to leave quickly during to a personal emergency. So, we didn't get the full experience that we were hoping for, however, the work was easy and dependent on the needs of that day. The staff was super friendly and helpful! They made our experience a welcome one. This is a great place if you like to study history and if you want to practice your German. I would recommend that you know a bit of German beforehand as the town is smaller and more localized. Was a good experience!
