The Experience
The social volunteer undertakes activities such as: hikes, games, quizzes, barbecue, cultural kitchen, talk, more hikes, fishing, sightseeing, coffee and cookies, waffle baking, music – all in the name of cultural exchange and bringing people together. But most important is perhaps the conversations during coffee and cookies in the afternoon. Please note we can only host volunteers from EU/Schengen (or people holding an EU/Schengen passport).

It's difficult to explain how great was my experience at the hostel. The staff is perfect, the place is a great mix between city and nature. You are constantly surrounded by great people. It was the first time they experienced volunteers in winter, which included helping in some tasks such as housekeeping, reception and kitchen but you are never considered as a worker, and the staff is responsible and friendly. Organizing activities for the guest was a great experience. It was even better than what I thought, thank you !

Being a volunteer at the hostel was the best thing that could ever happen to me <3! It was my first experience with Worldpackers and I could not have asked for a better one: the staff is so so lovely and welcoming, the tasks for the volunteers are extremely fun and enjoyable and perfect to immerse yourself in the local culture and explore the city and its sorroundings. The hostel is perfect for anyone who wants to meet international people while experiencing Norway! I strongly recommend this experience I could not be more grateful for this opportunity! Love you all❤️

My time at the hostel was everything I could have wished for and more. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the job fits the description. Volunteers have total freedom in terms of choosing the activity of the day, and the daily « free coffee and cookies » is a great opportunity to connect with fellow travelers. The location is amazing and Bergen is a lovely city with plenty of mountains to explore, whether you're an experienced hiker or not. I'll remember the karaoke nights, cabin trips, card games, icy hikes etc. for a very long time <3 Thank you the hostel team for a hell of a ride!!
