I spent a month volunteering at the hotel and it was an incredible experience. The tasks are simple and even if your English isn't great, everything is explained patiently and all questions are answered. The staff are wonderful—attentive, approachable, and create a great atmosphere. Everything from the interview was respected: even in busier weeks, days off and hours were always organized fairly. The place is amazing, with surf gear and sauna available. Accommodation is shared on weekends and guest rooms during the week. Overall, a 10/10 experience I highly recommend

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The owners Chris & Ben are so kind and welcoming, the whole team is just class and always down for great craic. The volunteer room is a bit small, but during the week usually you get to sleep in the guests rooms, which was a huge bonus for me. I will say it is probably more worth it to be a regular volunteer, because as the yoga instructor you end up having almost the same amount of work as the others, but in addition also need to teach multiple classes on the weekends. Either way, the work tasks are completely reasonable && would 100% recommend!

Hey Gina, glad to hear you enjoyed the vibe here and got along with the team.

Just to clear things up for anyone reading this.. all our roles, including yoga instructors, involve a mix of teaching and general daily tasks, which we’re upfront about from the start. That way, everyone pitches in and the workload stays fair. Whilst the yoga instructors tasks are typically more varied, the hours work out as the same as other volunteers. Most times even less.

Best of luck with your travels!

Loved my experience at BigStyle! All the staff and volunteers were really kind and there was not a single day when I would not feel welcome. The work itself is easy and all the perks like sauna, surf and yoga lessons are absolutely worth it. I won't forget the stunning views and the most relaxing summer break I've ever had. I would definitely have stayed longer if I could <3

I had the absolute best time at the hotel. It was my first volunteering experience and now I'm scared that the bar has been set too high and no other place will ever be this good! The location, lodge and people were all amazing and I actually wish I had stayed longer because I was really enjoying my time there. Paco, Paddy and Tori were all really attentive, kind and fun and I had a great time getting to know them and the other volunteers. Highly recommend this experience <3
