I had such a great experience volunteering at the hostel in the bar! The staff were super friendly and welcoming which made the experience that much better. The hostel is beautiful and right on lagoon and volunteers get full access to the hostel amenities, activities and 2 free tours. Volunteers receive 1 free meal but only on the days you work. I worked 4 8hr sifts a week with 3 days off. Staff dorms were not cleaned on a regular basis but overall were decent. I would definitely recommend volunteering at the hostel!

I had a wonderful time volunteering at the hostel in the Activities Team! The staff are really friendly and it feels like a little family. Volunteers stay in dorms at a staff house 2 blocks away from the hostel. It isn't the cleanest, but it's decent. The lagoon is beautiful and volunteers also get free tours! My tip for new volunteers is to have at least a beginner level of Spanish, because it will be easier to connect with people. I hope my next volunteer experience is just as fun! Thank you!!

The hostel was a super good volunteering experience! the hostel is beautiful and right on the pretty lagoon. The staff house is not very clean but it is only two blocks from the hostel which is handy. Toti is a super cool manager and Nico at the bar was great, there is a lot of flexibility especially as the leaving dates which has been really helpful to me. I worked in the bar and had four 8 hour shifts a week and then 3 days off. The work was chill but the shifts are long so just be aware of that. Bacalar is beautiful however there is not much to do so I'd say a month is more than enough time :)

The month I have spent at the hostel was amazing! The application process was easy and straightforward. On the day of my arrival I received multiple messages from the hostel, they explained how I can get to my accommodation and where I can get the keys from. I worked in the area of activities which was fun, it was basically just playing and interacting with the guests. The staff was always very helpful and kind to me, they made my stay even better. I could write a lot more but I have limited characters so I just want to end this by saying: thank you the hostel for the nice experience!

We loved our time at the hostel ! The hostel has a friendly staff ; who gave us a warm welcome. We staid a month in the bartending staff and the team were with us and present whenever we had questions. Bacalar is a lovely city with a beautiful lagoon. Even though it is quite small, the parties here are amazing.

Truly grateful to have my first ever volunteering opportunity in the hostel. Everything from the process to getting my trip confirmed to the work experience was perfect. Special shout out to Patricia from HR and my bar manager Adrian for their support and believing in me. The energy exchange was fair. The staff and volunteers were lovely to work with. The teamwork and connection we had during my season, I will never forget. Muchas Gracias the hostel, Stay Magical. Aheavo! Evan

Overall the experience at the hostel was great. I had so much fun and made some amazing friends with the other volunteers, and getting to know beautiful bacalar was amazing. Volunteers get a good deal too, a bed in a staff house and two meals a day, discount at the bar. I would recommend to anyone, thank you the hostel for the experience!❤️

Working at the hostel was a great experience, Toti was great as a manager and we loved the people we were working with. What I think was a bit of a bummer was that activities people worked less hours than the volunteers in the bar area and still got more free meals bc they worked more shifts (btw the meals tend to be really small for the most part!). Also because there was essentially no space in our room I had to put my clothes next to mouldy walls for most of the time. Nevertheless, we'd totally recommend working at the hostel and we're happy for all of the friends we made!! <3
