Hosteleer is an online platform that connects hostel hosts and backpacker volunteers. Hosts offer perks in exchange for duties. Perks can include things like free accommodation, free food, free drinks, free bicycle use, etc. Duties can include things like leading pub crawls, organizing movie nights, changing linens, or bartending. Your overall goal as a host is to create a safe, fun, and inviting environment for your volunteers so they can help your hostel succeed.

Hosteleer is for hosts who want or need help making their hostel the best that it can be. Hosteleer offers a unique opportunity for your hostel to receive help from its very target demographic—backpackers. Backpacker volunteers understand your customers deeply and will help create an amazing, social atmosphere at your hostel, as well as improve your reviews.

The sharing economy works on trust. Just like AirBnb or Uber, we rely on reviews and ratings to ensure safe and nurturing hostel-volunteering experience. With that said, use your own judgement and common sense to determine if a hostel-volunteering experience is right for you. If a host or volunteer feels uncomfortable or unsafe in anyway, they can cancel the experience at any time. If the matter is serious, we will investigate the situation and take action if we deem it appropriate. Please remember, Hosteleer is solely a platform for hosts and volunteers to contact each other and to offer or receive help. Any and all arrangements and agreements made are solely between the host and volunteer and do not include the Hosteleer platform.

Each country has different rules and regulations in regards to volunteering, and it is your responsibility to help volunteers obtain all necessary documents and visas required to volunteer in your country. Our platform is based on cultural exchanges and not paid work. It is important to be clear about this distinction to avoid problems with immigration.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and have valid travel documents. Hosts must be registered and legal businesses who provide, at a minimum, safe and clean accommodation for their volunteers.
