You'll work from Monday to Saturday, and have Sunday off.

In order to maintain good communication, we have a mandatory staff meeting every Monday to discuss any changes and anything the team has excelled at or might have to work on.

This a volunteer position, but extra income can be made from tips and extra shifts when available.

Rules

We are NOT a drug-friendly Hostel. Getting shitfaced is A-Ok, but on the legal stuff only. Anyone found with drugs will be asked to leave immediately.

Upon arrival, for security reasons, you will be expected to leave a deposit of either a valid passport or a valid ID and 100 USD (or 2000 pesos). Either of these will be returned to you upon your departure. Our team always feels at home here, so it’s important to everyone that we maintain a safe working and living environment by knowing exactly who is staying with us at all times and discouraging the possibility of anyone making a quick exit with something that isn’t theirs.
