The Black Sheep Hostel

It is low season on the island and we only need help 2 days before each Full Moon and the day of Full Moon.

You would work 11am -7pm
Reception opens at 2pm so for the first 3 hours you are just letting people know that you will keep an eye on their luggage while they go do whatever they would like. Once reception is open, you would be expected to show guests to their room. Show them a few things. Help with their bags if they need help and if you can. Offer advice if needed.

That’s it. Extremely easy. When it’s not full moon I have a project I would like worked on. No scheduled hours and it will be fun as well.

In exchange you can have a bed for up to a month. Easy!!!

This is a super easy position. We just need a happy outgoing fun person. If you are looking to explore the island and annoy yourself, this is the place for you.

Unfortunately I had to leave the black sheep earlier than expected. My time at the black sheep wasn't so bad, the main problem is that the hostel doesn't have much structure to support the volunteers it has...it doesn't have a kitchen, nor a water filter. Due to this problem together, I had to leave. Unfortunately I didn't have any kind of understanding from the owner, on the same day I communicated with him about my wish to leave earlier, he sent me and all the other volunteers away the day after, without a notice. I apologize for leaving earlier than agreed, I wish you all the best.

Laura,

I don’t know what you mean when you say you didn’t feel supported. You had several days of training, you had lists that should you what to do in each situation that even explained button by button what to use in the system and I was always available 24hrs a day if you had any questions.

You did not have to leave. You chose to leave and go volunteer at another hostel on the same island.

Yes we do not have a kitchen or filtered water. Neither were promised to you and in fact I make sure before everyone makes a commitment to us that they understand that there is no food or kitchen. No hostel on this island except my other small hostel offers free filtered water.

When someone makes a commitment and decide for whatever reason to cut it short and leave the team short staffed, why would I let you stay for free for any length of time? You broke one of the terms of the contract that you signed with us and as a result you were asked to leave. It just happens that all the volunteers for various reasons broke their contracts at the same time and were also asked to leave.

I’m sorry you chose to break our contract as you were quite pleasant to work with.

Best of luck

It was my first volunteering experience through Worldpackers. I learned a lot about how the world works. It was challenging at times, but overall, it was a good volunteering experience.

I had a great time at The Black Sheep – Brian is a funny and helpful guy. It's a fantastic location if you're into parties. I'd recommend it to people who can ride a scooter because without one, the Haad Rin area might get boring quickly. But, you'll have plenty of time to explore the island.

The only issue for me was how we parted ways; I felt punished for the other volunteers' mistakes. I had to leave the hotel without any notice, which I found disrespectful.

Apart from that, it was a positive experience, and I have lots of nice memories.

I’m sorry you felt disrespected. As I said, I thought you did a great job. Unfortunately you chose to end our agreement early so I asked you to leave with the others. I feel if someone doesn’t want to be there and fulfill their obligations then I don’t want them around my guests. Whatever the reason you chose to leave early doesn’t matter. I had schedules done and your decision affected my business. I wish you nothing but the best in the future and I hope you take this experience with you and maybe learn from it.
