Hi there, traveler!
We are Iris and Matilde.
During a year, Sander and Iris transformed an old stone bakery from 1860 into the first indoor camping of Belgium! We've done as much as possible of the construction works by ourselves, mostly with recycled materials. Our furniture comes from thrift shops, from the living room of our grandmothers, from the garage of neighbours and sympathizers, ...
After 3 years, Sander started a new chapter. But don't worry: Matilde joined the team.
You can find us in one of the cosiest neighbourhoods of Ghent, where many different cultures meet. Here, people hang their head out of the window for a talk, young musicians and artists have a place to do their thing, beer flows frequently, and everyday something (or someone) unexpected crosses your path.
Next to the hostel we have a bar, where the guest of the Hostel come to have breakfast and locals come to read the paper and have a chat. At our bar, travellers meet locals drinking a good Belgian beer while listening to a concert. It’s a place where you can as well enjoy quiz nights, drawing courses and so much more. We're very proud of the cosiness this mix creates, and we invite you most warmly to come and enjoy our place!
This bar is a non profit organisation where we work with a combination of a regular staff and friends who come to help a hand when we organise an event. The profits of the bar are used to organise free events and make sure they stay free!
Mantenimiento general
You'll get to know a lot of people. Everyday we have new guests passing by with all their unique stories. You'll learn all about Ghent and Belgium in general as you'll have enough time to explore!
We try to work together to see what tasks fit you best according to your interests and skills. You could even learn how to cook new dishes as we love to exchange recipes. You'll be free to express your creativity by creating new decorations for the hostel.
You'll be in charge of different tasks depending on the day. First of all you can help us by sharing your experiences, your thoughts and stories, show people around (in town).
Next to that you can give us a hand with organizing music evenings If you like you can bake cakes for breakfast, help us to make furniture and make our place look different/better each day.
We have started a new project in partnership with local organisation Enchanté where a few homeless people every week are able to stay at the hostel. We would like for you to check in on them and occasionally share meals together.
We've reserved a whole room for you, which you will share with you co-WorkAwayers

We provide breakfast, for lunch and dinner we cook together, each at a time normally!
There's a breakfast buffet available for you, everyday between 8 - 11h.
You'll get your own bike to get around. We also cayaks that you can use in the canal next to the hostel. From Ghent you can easily visit Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp and many other Belgian cities.
Unfortunately, we can not accept work awayers that don't have a EU pasport :(
