This was my first volunteer experience and it was better than I could have imagined. Everyone there is so welcoming and loving so it feels like home. I felt safe around where the hostel was located and you can see the beach from down the street, it’s only a 5 minute walk. It’s honestly so beautiful and an experience that you will remember for the rest of your life, I highly recommend visiting Rio and staying at the hostel.

This was my first volunteering and I couldn’t be more happy. I had a great time with the others volunteers. I was in the breakfast team and the tasks were easy. The staff is really nice and flexible about schedule. Also, I had some pleasant surprises like the weekly money for groceries. My only comment would be to improve the introduction process to the tasks, because there’s none. I highly recommend the hostel for your first experience volunteering.

I loved my time at the hostel, the work is easy and you get heaps of free time to enjoy Bruges and surrounding cities. It was an amazing place to meet people from all over the world. The grocery money was an unexpected bonus.

My time at the hostel was marvelous. Everyone treated me very nice and they really respected my working hours. There is always a fun environment to hang out with people from other countries and make new friends. Also Brugge is one of the most special cities of Europe and is worth spending a few weeks there. Hope to some day come back 🙂

My experience at the hostel was awesome!! I would definitely recommend it if you are looking to meet new people, visit the beautiful Bruges and have a great time with the team. The breakfast shift is easy, you work in a team during the morning and then you have the rest of the day to enjoy as you want. The staff is nice and flexible if you need to arrange your days off and you can spend a very nice time at the hostel’s the hostel (where you will receive discounts as well) each night. Thank you!!!💛
