What a lovely place to be! There's always something to do around the hostel, whether it's board games, jam sessions, or events. I'm going to miss all the wonderful people I met. I had so much fun here and would totally recommend:)

This experience is definitely one I would recommend to any traveller. I met so many wonderful people here and made connections that I'm sure will last a lifetime. The work was as described and left time to explore the town and beach. So grateful for the opportunity to have volunteered here!

The hostel is a great place to work & you'll meet lots of other travelers from all over during your stay here! The work is exactly what is stated in the description, and it's a quick 2 hours every day with lots of time to spend at the beach before/after! Agnes is definitely on the smaller side but you can make the most of every day and there's always something to do around town or at the hostel. Overall great experience!

Had a great time, the hostel crew really became family and I hope to keep these connections long after I've left. Work tasks were simple and straightforward, nothing too rough. Was as described. Now and again you'd work 5 minutes later than scheduled but equally you might wrap up a few mins early some days. Nice crew, the town itself is quite small and can be a bit slow, but if you enjoy a small beach town then it is great!

Best hostel I've ever stayed at/worked in. You become a part of a family and the town really is lovely. 10/10 recommend, but only if you like small town coastal living
