Description
*Please note we get 3-7 messages PER DAY about staff wanting to come. We may be unsure about availability when you write us but it is very difficult to write to everyone right away. We do our best, but also please only write us with serious inquiries in order to save us time for those applicants who are planning on coming.*
If you're the type of person who loves to be surrounded by a scenic and lively backdrop while helping people get familiar with an awesome town, we are the place for you! We are a small hostel (40 beds) in the middle of downtown Bozeman. We are looking for friendly, active, and fun people to come work part-time. Our location is right in the center of town. It is a very short walk to all the popular nightlife, restaurants, and other attractions. We have Bridger Bowl and Big Sky to ski and snowboard at (a bus goes to these ski resorts for those who do not have a car) and Yellowstone National Park is about an hour away. Montana State University adds overs 17,000 students and a young pulse to our town during the school year along with fun sporting events and concerts. We ask that you are an easy-going and dynamic person while also having a solid work-ethic. Outdoor enthusiasts welcome!
As we are a business, we are required to pay each Workawayer hourly. The hourly rate is dependent on experience and availability. Payment amounts will be discussed and agreed upon BEFORE your arrival.
Steps in our process:
1. Reach out! Tell us about yourself, any vital information about your stay, and dates you can come.
2. We WILL respond. We have 100% response rate because you are valuable to us. We may not have space at the time you want to come, but we will always communicate that to you if that's the case.
3. We will schedule a FaceTime or WhatsApp interview that works for the both of us if we feel like it could be a good fit for both sides.
4. During the video interview, we will tell you all about us! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will also ask you a few questions as well.
5. If what we offer is a good fit and we can host you, we will set a tentative date for your arrival.
6. This one is important: You must send a CONFIRMATION of your arrival date and text us every month (or so) to keep communication going. We have an incredible amount of Workawayers interested in our property, and we lose touch with some after the video chat. We will assume you are not coming if we don't get a confirmation of an arrival date AND communication in the weeks leading up to your stay.
7. Text us a couple days before you come to ensure we can either pick you up from the airport (we also have parking for those driving in) or are ready for you when you arrive.
One month is typically our minimum for Workawayers to stay, but we have made exceptions in busier times (Christmas break, etc.).
Thank you for reading all of this and Happy Trails!

Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We meet many travelers from all over the world! We enjoy engagement with many different people from various cultures and backgrounds. Bozeman also has its own distinct pulse. Winter is full of skiing, snowboarding, and special events that bring in many tourists from all walks of life. Spring brings the fresh green scenery and the awakening of Yellowstone National Park (around 1.5 hours away and we try to get all of our workers to YNP at least once). Autumn brings beautiful fall colors, college football games, and several events in correlation to our campus (Montana State University). Summer is our busiest season, and it is the time when festivals and tourism give Bozeman an extra fun, lively, and exciting vibe.

Help
It is easy, but fun. We need help with both reception and housekeeping. We may need other basic help, but this is mainly a laid-back job with 20 hours per week. We say "laid back" but please know that we do take responsibilities seriously. While you are on shift, you will be expected to treat this like a regular job and to respect our business and how it operates :). Our staff is the type that "goes with the flow" but also isn't afraid to get work done! We're always willing to go the extra mile for our wonderful staff that goes the extra mile for us.

We treat our staff very well, and we expect workers to return the favor by investing their committed time to the job when "on-shift." If you are put into a 3-bed or 4-bed dorm, it will be with other workers, and your hours will be 20/week. During some seasons and circumstances, we are able to put you in a private room upon availability. Please note that co-habitation is extremely important and we look for Workawayers who clean up after themselves and live well with others!
What else ...
Bozeman and the surrounding area are rich in outdoor activities and breathtaking scenery. Any traveler looking to hike, camp, fish, ski, snowboard, snowmobile, and partake in countless other activities are blessed to find themselves in an area like Bozeman. Many festivals, such as the Sweetpea Festival, Music on Main, and other events, come through Bozeman and are within walking distance from our hostel. The nightlife of Bozeman is condensed into the East Main downtown district, right where we are located. Art galleries, boutiques, and fine restaurants are in surplus in our area. We pride ourselves on treating our staff as family. We don't expect you to come and only work. We WANT you to explore Bozeman and the surrounding area, and we try to give you the tools to do so! This area is one of the most incredible and beautiful in the world, and we want our Workawayers to leave with friends and memories.

If it weren't for the cold Montana weather, I would want to stay with Nina forever.
Seriously, this experience was perfect for myself and my two friends, as we were able to stay in Montana for a month and meet incredible people, have a lot of fun, and gain hostel-work experience. The hours are flexible, Nina is a godsend and an absolute delight,… read more

I could spend a very long time typing and still not say all the wonderful things I feel for Daphney, Jo and Katie. Your crew is lively, witty, charismatic and jovial. These three learned quickly and truly cared about the job. They were always willing to do more and I was able to take some vacation time because I knew they had things handled. Being… read more

This was a good exchange and I'd recommend it either to volunteers or guests. The work is simple and can be engaging. The hours are flexible and myself and other volunteers were able to find local paid work. It can get crowded, but if you get along with your dorm mates you'll be fine. Thanks for having me!! :)

Montana had always been on my bucket list and finding this hostel on WorkAway was a blessing! I had the best experience in Bozeman due to the people I met from here. If you have never been to a hostel or have never done workaway before, this is a great place to make the leap! The owner and staff were very welcoming. I will have great memories from… read more

Jamie was an amazing part of our team. She was very hard-working and caught onto the job quickly. We loved having her around! Her personality is witty and fun. She was always willing to come on shift a little early if I had to leave for practice and it was very much appreciated. Jamie will always be welcome in our hostel if she ever graces us with… read more

I am so grateful for the opportunities Nina and working at the hostel gave me!

Julia was everything we could've hoped for in a staff member. She was a quick-learner, easy-going, hard-working and very enjoyable to be around. No matter where Julia goes in life, we know she will succeed with her positive attitude and amazing work ethic.
Thank you for everything, Julia! We miss you already :)

It is EXTREMELY difficult to put into words my experience with Tony, but I'll try. He is one of the most caring, understanding and hard-working people we have had walk through our doors. His positive attitude and jovial spirit paired along with his more serious side when matters needed it made Tony an ideal worker (and friend) for us.

My stay volunteering at the Hostel was nothing short of spectacular. Nina was a gracious yet diligent owner who worked hard to maintain a level of excellence throughout my stay. Standards are quite high for the price people are paying and often-times people forget that. I was initially supposed to stay in Bozeman for about 3 weeks but ended up… read more

I enjoyed my time working with Nina and others at the hostel. Nina, the owner, has created a welcoming space where it is easy for workawayers and travelers to feel comfortable and settled. She was very warm, accommodating, lively, fun, and has a good sense of humor about life and about running a hostel. The location of the hostel in downtown… read more

What was supposed to be a one month stay quickly turned into three months...and we easily could have stayed three more! This was such a great experience! The work itself was really easy, either cleaning guest rooms and common areas or checking in guests. Nina was a wonderful host, always flexible with regards to days off so we could go on a short… read more

We miss them already and they only left yesterday! These two brought a vibrance to our hostel that is hard to match. They helped me when we lost our manager and offered to pick up more hours. They constantly spent extra time and effort to help fix any project needed (the shelf, fridge and washer all managed to break while they were here) and… read more

the Hostel is an awesome place to be a workaway! The jobs (cleaning and office/reception) are pretty easy going and you are always interacting with other people.

Merita was one of the best people we have ever had come through our doors. She was diligent, hard-working and hilarious. She had a sense of humor that made the whole hostel laugh. At first, she came off as a bit shy, but she is definitely not so. We appreciate everything she did for us on her two separate stays and would have her back anytime!

We volunteered here for three weeks in August and it was great! Nina was great to work for and is really fun to be around. We had a lot of time to see Bozeman and the surrounding areas, which are really beautiful and full of cool hikes. There were always interesting people coming in and out of the hostel, too. You should work here!

I volunteered in February and March in this hostel and Nina was the best host I could ever imagine. On the work side: She is a great owner. She knows how to run the hostel. She knows how to take care of her volunteers or workers (and off course visitors). The tasks were mainly: checking in-out people, daily cleaning or help around the hostel.

I absolutely ADORED Carly and Ross. They filled the hostel with their positive energy and were always willing to help out. They were fun but also serious when business needed to be done. I would recommend this dynamic duo to any host looking for an example of the perfect workers. Thanks guys!!!
