Sepeda Hostel
You should choose to volunteer with us because we offer more than just a beautiful hostel with a lush garden, pool, and spacious facilities. It’s the perfect place to connect with both our local team and travelers from around the world. It’s a cultural exchange where you can contribute to the growth of a small business by bringing positive vibes and energy to our guests. If you’re passionate about people, parties, and creating a vibrant atmosphere, you’ll feel right at home here!
We treat you with respect, offering clear guidance and support, and respect your time off. However, you should be aware that volunteering isn’t a holiday. We offer many advantages, so in return, we expect results, commitment, reliability, and a proactive attitude. We invest time and energy to show you around, explain our games and events, and help you feel part of the team. At the same time, we expect you to be autonomous, bring your own ideas, and suggest activities that enhance the hostel vibe. We’ll provide the materials, you bring the creativity! It’s a win-win collaboration: if you deliver results, we’ll reward you!

About the experience in: Canggu, Indonesia
United Kingdom
I had such a great experience volunteering as the yoga instructor at Sepeda (I even extended my stay here)! The whole team are so lovely and especially when I needed to go to hospital they were all very supportive! It’s one of the nicest and cleanest hostels I’ve come across and great vibes all around. The yoga shala is also beautiful, overlooking the rice field and it’s a great opportunity to teach a range of vinyasa classes to every ability!
There is for sure a pressure to get 10/10 reviews which can at times feel a little inauthentic, but it is genuinely an incredible hostel! 🌟

I had an amazing time being included with the Sepeda family! The staff is absolutely amazing and so nice and welcoming. I spent over 5 weeks at Sepeda and it flew by! I love how organized the volunteer position is with set shifts and scheduling and the shift times vary. The only thing that adds pressure to the position is getting reviews weekly, as there is a time and place to ask guests for reviews and its not always ideal during a specific shift time. Other than that, I would totally recommend volunteering here and just be honest and open with communication if any issues or questions arise!

A mi me gusto muchísimo mi experiencia en este lugar. El hostal es súper bonito y espacioso y tiene unas vistas preciosas. El trabajo es súper sencillo y las horas son respetadas, sin embargo siento que podría mejorar algunos aspectos en cuanto a comunicación. Muchas gracias a todo el staff y a las personas que hicieron mi estadía aquí increíble! Sin duda lo recomiendo :)

The hostel is beautiful and the local staff are kind, but there’s no real team vibe—everyone works alone. If you don’t get perfect 10/10 reviews in your first week, you're out. I had a 9.4 on Hostelworld and was still let go. The contract says roles will be “re-evaluated,” but that just means fired. It’s also hard to get reviews due to the setup. A guest told me someone gets dismissed almost every week because of this.
I wish a better communication and also maybe help people a bit if they're doing not as good in the beginning.

Thank you for your feedback, Noah. When you started, we were very clear about the expectations for the role. Reviews are part of the job, but beyond that, you were unable to effectively promote our events and had difficulty bringing people together. Sometimes, a role simply isn’t the right fit, and we understand that. Instead of focusing on management, we hope you can reflect on your experience and identify areas for improvement. We wish you the best moving forward.

I loved my time at Sepeda Hostel. I grew so much as a teacher, learned new skills, and even got to lead puppy yoga! Salome is amazing! There was a bit of pressure from upper management around reviews and constantly collecting them from guests that sometimes affected the atmosphere, however this is something I'm sure can be relaxed over time as the hostel grows. Overall, I'm super grateful for the experience—perfect if you're looking to develop your yoga teaching in a beautiful setting.

Just a reminder, gathering reviews is an important part of the role, and we do expect results from our volunteers. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. All the best from your Sepeda family 💛
