Beschreibung
We have two fun and social hostels in the heart of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. They are what you call backpackers/party hostels (yet they can be more on the party side).
Our guests visit us from all around the world and we organise them many different activities every day. We take them out to lunch, to visit museums and parks, thrift shops and bars, for sightseeing, hiking and swimming in lakes, or even playing Hide and Seek in IKEA (and all kind of other games). We cook them vegan friendly dinners and we run our own pub crawls as well. Of course, you as a Workawayer will be invited to join them all.
We have a diverse team of up to 40 lovely people between the two hostels, all fellow travellers, from all around the world.
We are looking for Workawayers exclusively for cleaning duty, up to 5 hours and 5 days a week. We are currently accepting 3-4 Workawayers at a time.
You will receive a bed in one of our staff dorms, a part time employment contract and the minimum hourly wage in accordance of local law (4€/h) for every hour worked, paid on a weekly basis. Because of this we require you to be an EU citizen or to have an EU passport or work permit.
Experience is appreciated, but not needed, we provide you with the necessary training. We get a lot of applications, so when you write, please keep it short and simple. Tell us about yourself and your motivation to join us.
We prefer our Workawayers to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks. If both sides are satisfied after that period, perhaps even longer.
We DO NOT accept couples but we do occasionally take couples of friends. This is also not the best place for those with remote work/classes.
Despite the fact that the work has to be properly done, you will have a great time here and will meet a bunch of cool people during your stay. Just take a look at our feedback at the bottom. :)
Please in your message state your name, nationality, age and the range of dates you could come.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

In Jaime‘s time here in the hostel he was like a flower that bloomed. He was really quiet to begin with but when he left he had come out of his shell. From being a party animal during the night helping with our pub crawls. To working hard throughout the day for the hostel. Jamie was always on time and always did the job the right way the… read more

I messaged first saying I would come stay for one month. Im writing this after staying for 6 months, and have a flight booked back there for the end of this month.
