Volunteering at YoYo Surf Hostel was an absolute dream! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome, and they quickly became like family to me. Gee, the owner, is simply amazing—he truly cares about the volunteers and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, comfortable, and enjoying our time. The atmosphere at the hostel is so warm and special, I didn’t want to leave. I loved it so much that I extended my stay and can’t wait to return very soon. Highly recommend this incredible experience!

My experience at yoyos has been truly amazing!!! Gee and the boys made it feel like home within a few days, I’m gonna miss it sooo much. I can’t wait to come back and see all the people again:)) it was home away from home. The tasks that I had to do while being at yoyos, were easy to learn and I enjoyed it a lot:)) I’m gonna miss the yoyo family today;(

I truly enjoyed my experience at yoyo, it was an amazing month. Everbody (the owner, even his friends and the staff) is super nice and in the end it definitely felt like a family. Through years of experience with working with volunteers that this hostel has, everything is super organised and the tasks are more than clear and super easy.

This was my first ever volunteering experience and i can surely say that it covered all my expectations. The host and his staff really create a cozy environment where you feel like home. It is a very social place. The work is very well organised and good communicated what we are supposed to do. We had 5hour shifts and simple tasks - to check guests in and out and help with the organisation of social events happening in the hostel. There is always something going on at Yoyos , so i promise you will never be bored:)
I will recommend this place to everyone and for sure go there again myself:)
