Pipeline hostel
This place is a pueblo mágico it’s beautiful we are right in the centre of everything, we have some of the worlds best surfing, so much marine life, and skydiving right on the beach infront of the hostel! It’s great for outdoorsy adventurous people and there is opportunity for paid work as I am soon opening a Jamaican resturant
Everyone here is good vibes and we all are like a little family we share food, joints, moments, laughs. We get to know eachother and work as a team. We get local perks as well for some of the clubs to get in for free and skip lines !

About the experience in: puerto escondido, Mexico
United States
This was my first volunteer experience in my life and I couldn't have asked for a better one! Staying at the hostel invited me to get in touch with so many new people from various places all the while learning and being immersed in new languages. Brendan (the host) was accommodating and tried to make sure everyone had what they needed. I worked in the restaurant which provided the opportunity to learn bartending, and practice my Spanish with the local community. Volunteering here was a great time and Im glad I came! Thanks for everything Pipeline!

My experience was mixed : the hostel was in poor condition: I was promised a private room but got a dark dorm with no AC or windows, and the common areas were very dirty. Promises from the profile (discounts, events, surfboards, …) were not kept. The restaurant work was fun! Julian, always here for you for whatever you need, and meeting the other volunteers was the best part. Working hours matched what was described. But I sometimes felt uncomfortable around the hostel owner (and I’m not the only girl that felt that way). So I wouldn’t recommend going there even tho I met incredible people :(

I’m sorry the hostel was not up to your ac standards we did not promise you a private room & we did and still do have 2 surf boards but they are not beginner boards that’s why you couldn’t ride, we have two surf instructors who gave the other girls classes with a discount and multiple times I got the crew into the clubs at a discount rate/free. I try my best to accommodate everyone to my abilities but this review was abit false & every other girl from your time you stayed wrote good reviews

Le doy 3 estrellas porque vivi un buen momento con los voluntarios. Es un buen lugar para conocer gente de todo el mundo y conectar con ellos 🫰 gracias por eso.
Tenia pensando quedarme un mes pero me fui antes porque me sentia incomoda con el jefe, y no fui la unica. Las tareas eran faciles y los horarios correctos pero el alojamiento no corespondia a lo prometido: dormitorio sin ventana, sin comodidad y bastante sucio. Y mas que todo he tenido que hablar con la app porque el jefe me bloqueo para que evitar comentarios negativos.

Los amigos que hice es lo que me llevo del voluntariado, sin ellos no hubiera sido lo mismo. El hostel está bien ubicado aunque al estar en la calle de los clubs no puedes desconectar de la música desde que te levantas hasta que te vas a dormir. Pude tener habitación privada con mi amiga y eso fue muy agradecido. Las instalaciones son muy sencillas hay que ser consciente que no hay grandes lujos. En cuanto el voluntariado en el restaurante, las horas cumplen con las que se indican en worldpackers. Pocos turnos pero muchas horas al final del día. Con los voluntarios los turnos son divertidos:)

Lo más bonito de toda la experiencia ha sido la gran familia que hemos creado todos los del hostal. Ha sido increíble poder convivir con gente tan acogedora y agradable. Si tienes ganas de hacer amigos/as de todo el mundo ese es el lugar, ya que la vibra es fantástica🫂❤️
En mi voluntariado tuve una habitación privada con la amiga con la que viajo, cosa que fue una gran suerte. Eso sí, las instalaciones comunitarias son muy sencillas. Por lo que hace al trabajo del voluntariado este es muy simple y tranquilo. Además, hay flexibilidad en poder hacer cambios de horarios!!
