Especially I can show you a lot of culture and historical facts about Kazakhstan. As in our country the touristic is just developing the people here are always interested about you and they would love to tell your their story.
Help
I need help at the reception to welcome the guests (especially with international). So for me it's important that you are open-minded and friendly because you will have a lot of connection with the guests.
Also helping to keep everything clean in the hostel belongs to your works.

I also plan to offer different trips and activities for my guests, maybe you can help also.

As I try to improve my english talking-skills it would be a big help if you can practice with me. And I can also help to improve your Russian if you like.

We stayed for 11 days in Kanat’s hostel in Astana in March 2019. It was low-season so there was no actual work for volunteers, but Kanat let us stay anyway and was happy to talk with us about some ideas for improvement of the hostel. Kanat himself loves travelling long distances by car and the hostel is a perfect place for overlanders so it might… read more

I stayed at the hostel almost for 10days or so. It started off very well. I had friends who came and stayed with me as well. I prepared plov which wasn't as good as I expected but the effort was appreciated I guess. I helped around the hostel with Laundry, Cleaning, Guest Relationship, etc. Unfortunately my lack of wisdom and limited knowledge of… read more

Kanat is a very friendly person ! We stayed at his hostel for nearly three weeks. It's brand new, very clean and the staff is really nice. As it was too cold, we couldn't make the english class as planned, so the work was pretty light. Maybe winter is not the best moment of the year to come here, but we loved our stay in Astana anyway ! You can do… read more

I spent almost one week at the Kanat hostel. It was an excellent experience for me! Hostel is really very cozy and comfortable. It's a rarity in a big city. The hostel has always had many interesting people from different countries. Work was not so much and I shot a video about the hostel. Thanks Kanat! Thanks Astana!

I spent almost one month at Kanat's hostel and I had a very nice experience.
I helped around with laundry and sometimes cleaning, the workload is very fair and flexible.
Even having the barrier of language Kanat was welcoming and did everything he could to help.

Thank a lot, Kanat and Nina! Wish you the best!
