Hi there, traveler!
In 2015 Sander and Iris transformed an old stone bakery from 1860 into the first indoor camping of Belgium! In 2016 they officially opened. They've done as much as possible of the construction works by theirselves, mostly with recycled materials. Our furniture comes from thrift shops, from the living room of our grandmothers, from the garage of neighbours and sympathizers, ...This is an important value that also runs through our vains: upcycle, recycle, reduce and reuse.
After 3 years, Sander started a new chapter. But don't worry: Matilde joined the team.
In 2024 Iris started a new adventure and Janna joined the ship.
As from 2024 we (Matilde and Janna) are now proud owners of this beautiful place.
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, concerts, markets, workshops, 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!

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
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!
Our slogan: Never a boring day.
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 in the bar and around.
Ayuda
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 and make people feel at home.
Next to that you can give us a hand with organizing events, like music evenings in our non profit.
There are a few general maintenance task but your own creative input in the hostel is very welcome!
If you like you can bake cakes, help us to make furniture and make our place look different/better each day.
We like to make things ourselves and upcycle.
Most of the help is needed between 11am and 1pm.
Sometimes it will be a bit longer, it depends on the project.
The rest of the day you're off.
Free days can be taken when is best for you, just discuss with us and your fellow WorkAwayz first what's possible so there is always someone around.
Workawayers would never help with any tasks at all relating to the hostel, since that is not a non-profit and we have paid staff.
Also we will never request you to do any obligatory bar help.

Alojamiento
We've reserved a whole room for you, which you will share with your co-WorkAwayers
We provide breakfast, for lunch we take leftovers from breakfast and for diner we cook each at a time so there's a rotating system. Depending on how many people we host, every 3rd or 4th day it's your turn to buy and cook the food.
There's a breakfast buffet available for you, everyday between 8h - 10h30.
Algo más...
You'll get to use a bike to get around, when they are available. We also have kayaks that you can use in the canal next to us. 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 :(

This was my first workaway experience and I can say with no hesitation whatsoever that it was the right choice. Iris, Sander, and the rest of the team were incredible people to work with, they will make you feel welcome and at home every single day. The work itself isn’t hard at all and gives you the opportunity to try new things. I am so happy I… read more

This hostel is the perfect place to do a workaway! It was our first time and it didn't disappoint us. Iris and Sander are really kind and you can learn a lot of them. The place itself is amazing- the caravans, the graffiti... The work is not really hard, it usually involves cleaning, helping with the bar and the breakfast. There are always young… read more

The Hostel is an amazing place to be. The work is fun and you can learn a lot from Sander and Iris.
I´ve felt welcome from the first day on and I had a hard time leaving after one month.
If you are looking for a cool place to work with an open-hearted, funny and awesome team- that´s the place to be. Don´t miss it.
Thank you so much Iris and… read more

To all work away hosts out there: Do not hesitate to take in Tammy and Erik! We were very happy to Host such a great couple. Apart from the work they did, they filled the Hostel with a great musical vibe. Playing music with kids from the neighbourhood, jamming with other guests, and many other beautiful moments.

Sander and Iris. We don’t really know where to begin this reference letter. We spent around 1 month and a half with you guys and walked out from the experience with a lot of new friends, unique memories and a lot of new insights about life.

This place was the best! Sander and Iris are both so kind and the work was quite fair. Daily tasks usually involved cleaning the caravans, bar work, and other misc. handy work . I very much enjoyed my stay in Ghent and I hope that our paths will cross later in life! Best wishes, John

Iris and Sander are freaking awesome! I had a blast while I was there, and it was great getting to know both of them. Their hostel is super cool and unique and they're both passionate about it as well. I was there for about a month and they treated me like one of the gang from the very start. It's hard to come up with something to say that hasn't… read more

I had a wonderful time and stay. One of the best workaday experiences so far! Iris and Sanders are lovely people and the rest of the staff are really friendly and nice. Ghent is a beautiful city and I definitely want to go back and visit.

It was wonderful to have Sokline around.
She is a bit shy in the beginning but once she was settled in she opened up.
She is very kind with people and is not afraid to make her hands dirty.
Always welcome!!

She was communicative with the guests but quiet shy with us.

Ending up at this hostel was the best thing that could have happened to me! I was in a hurry to find a place and I feel very lucky that I got to spend two amazing weeks in Gent. Compared to a lot of other workaway places, you can easily end up working all day with no breaks, but here I found lots of time to wonder off in this old beautiful city.… read more

Rebecca was a wonderful and cheerful young lady. We give her the highest reccomendation to all future workaway hosts. She is always ready to help and she is a GOD at killing spiders. Do not hesitate to give her this task. In all seriousness, she really became part of the hostel family during her stay and we very much appreciated having her around.… read more

Ask me not what I think about Ghent the city for I only spent a few days in the month I was there outside of the hostel grounds! This is not because they are slave drivers but quite the opposite. Both 'Iron' Iris and 'Singing' Sander work incredibly hard therefore it feels like helping out friends more than work. I have fallen a little bit in love… read more

Christine is the best!
She really is, always laughing, funny, charming and ready to help wherever she can!
You should stop her from working too much.
She brings good vibes, a sweet little dog and the perfect companion for long nights and interesting talks, at the same time she'll prepare you the best meal and serve it with love!
