I had a great time. Pat, Alice and the others volunteers were amazing and made my first experience really special. Work hours are respected but if you have any specific needs Pat will try to help you. I also had time to stroll around and because the hostel is in an island surrounded by lake it's really peaceful. If you want to visit the rest of Ireland maybe it's not the best because it will take a lot of time to go everywhere.the hostel even hosted events like a science circus and a Christmas dinner with locals from the island and you can talk with some of them every week at the pub

It was my first experience as a volunteer, and the hostel was a great place to start. I met wonderful people who made the experience incredible. Pat and Alice are really kind, and the tasks matched what I was told. Achill Island is a beautiful and peaceful place.

I stayed for one month in November at the hostel and I wish I would have stayed longer. Pat and Alice are so nice and I always felt cared for and felt free to come to them with any problems, which there were none. We were provided with all the food we needed, so we could cook for ourselves. The work was easy and the hours as agreed upon. I really enjoyed the calm rhythm of the island (mind you in november) and meeting the locals at the pub. Also shoutout to my fellow volunteers, they were amazing and obvioulsy were a big part of my amazing time there. I hope to come back soon!

This was my first ever experience volunteering abroad and I couldn't have chosen a better place. Achill Island is a magical place that cannot be simply described in words, it has so much to offer - the nature there is absolutely stunning, locals are one of the friendliest people I've ever met in my life and the hostel itself is a beautiful place full of history, it is a blend of youthful joy and mature comfort. Pat and the team were amazing, the hours were always respected and planned ahead for each week. I'm very much grateful for this experience and for all the people I met 🫶

Don't walk to this place - run! This magical place has it all: stunning nature, a warm local community, great hosts, a fantastic team of volunteers and staff - and yes, great pints of Guinness ;) I'm very grateful for the time I spent here. Thank you Pat and Alice!

Achill is a beautiful place and I really enjoyed my time at the hostel. As I was there in the off season it was very quiet and it was a bit harder to get some places on the island. It was still well worth the stay however and the work was communicated well and was very manageable. Pat knows heaps about the local history and Irish history in general and it was great to find out a bit more about Ireland and its culture as well.

Location is rural, beautiful, idyllic Irish landscape surrounded by sheep, more sheep, and many beaches to explore. It is a great location if you're looking for some tranquility and calm. The work is as expected in a hostel, albeit the management and coordination of the business is sub-par. Wifi and cell service doesn't work very well in the staff rooms but works well in the hostel. Had a great group of volunteers during my stay and wish them all the best : Pierre, Nick, Vincent, and Emma.

I had a great time at the hostel! Pat and Alice are really kind hosts; the tasks were very straight forward, volunteer hours were always respected, and it was a great place to meet people from all over the world. The nature is gorgeous, and I had a great time exploring around. Achill Island is very remote, so getting around can be a little difficult without a car, but in the summer and fall it is so beautiful it's worth it! I'm really grateful for my time at the hostel and everyone I got to meet, and I will definitely be back to visit. Great experience and I would recommend.
