Come and help with small projects and enjoy meeting new people in Bled, Slovenia

Sorry for taking so long to leave feedback for my first workaway experience which was at this hostel.
In one word incredible. Klemen one of the managers/co-owners was very generous and hospitable to me and the other staff and workaway's were awesome and very friendly. I hope one day all you guys are able to come visit and stay in Australia. This… read more workaway opportunity is a fantastic experience Bled is such a beautiful and scenic town. I arrived in mid September and stayed for about 4 weeks here. During that time i exchanged a few hours cleaning a day in the hostels for a free bed and use of the facilities. Myself and two other workaways stayed in a little wooden building behind the hostel affectionately named the Love Shack.
The work load was very light and I had plenty of free time to explore Bled and its surroundings. The lake itself is truly a beautiful and scenic place.
Some of my favourite activities included, swimming to the island in the centre of the lake, hiking up to the view point that gave fantastic view over the lake and church on the island as well as the castle on the hill. Bike riding to Vintgar gorge only a few kilometers away and walking through this beautiful gorge, and hiking up to the top of one of the mountains surrounding the lake with a few members of staff on our day off.
I was also able to participate in many of the activities offered by the outdoor adventure company called Altitude Activites who have an office right next to the the hostel office. The canyoning was my favourite i was lucky enought to go on both canyoning adventures offered and they were both excellent however the Extreme Canyoning was my favourite. It involved lots of rappelling and many big jumps culminating in a 18 metre jump that is not for the faint of heart. The rock climbing was also alot of fun.

Big thank you to
Klemen, Neza, Patrik, Matic, Gasper, Francesca, Ari, Flor, Alec, Urban, Valentina and many more for making my first workaway such an amazing experience.

Definetely the best place to volunteer that you'll ever find!! I was meant to stay for 8 weeks and ended up staying for more than 3 months! I just couldn't leave the beautiful family that all the guys at the hostel turned out to be for me!
Best experience ever! Work is not only easy but also fun. I got to do all the amazing activities they… read more provide at the hostel so basically a great deal!

This was such an amazing experience from the second we walked in and one of the staff had made us a homemade dessert. Everyone is very easy going and makes you feel welcome. Work was easy and fun, a lot of it is just becoming friends with the guests and making sure they had a good time. We met so many amazing people in that hostel! Bled is… read more beautiful and there is so much to do there. We stayed over a month and were constantly exploring new places. We highly recommend if you like nature, good company and small towns!

This was a fantastic workaway experience and if you have the chance to workaway here you should definitely take it. The work was easy and fair and the hostel and everyone who works there is amazing. Shifts are set and you're given plenty of free time to enjoy the surrounding area. They also make sure that you get to go on all of the tons of… read more amazing outings they offer the guests and will take you out to see the area and to local events. Everyone working here is very professional, open minded, well-traveled, and fun and just want to make sure that their guests are taken care of and have a great experience and feel the same way about the people who workaway. The house you stay in is great, big kitchen, nice balcony, private room. You're right in Bled and across the street from the hostel and next to a grocery store. Wonderful experience all around. Thank you Klemen, Miha, Jaka, Aleč, and Barbara!!!
