I spent almost three months in the hostel, where I felt at home from the first day, both Monia and Peter make sure there are no problems, the people you meet are wonderful, I am Spanish but you meet people from all over the world and you learn a lot, it is very enjoyable. They are very fair with work hours, and very open and resolutives.

My time at the hostel was truly amazing and I can only recommend it to anyone. I will definitely be back. The work was as I expected it to be and working hours were very well respected. Altough Bundoran is a small town it is very lively and there is lots to do. You can go surfing, explore the nature around, go to the pub and meet other travellers as well as locals. Monia and the other volunteers I worked with made my time here absolutely wonderful and I will always think back of the memories I made here.

I stayed at the hostel for 2 months, and I really enjoyed it! I learned how to surf, I experienced the irish culture, I met lovely people, and made some unforgettable memories with both the volunteers and the guests, or even with some local people. The work was actually easy, just basic cleaning, and answering the phone. The manager was very flexible with the working hours, she always respected our wishes! I 100% recommend this place!!!!

My experience in the hostel was something I will never forget. It was my first experience volunteering, and I think that thanks to the good feeling that this volunteering left me, I will do it many more times! The work is very simple and gives you a lot of free time to surf or do activities with the amazing people there. If you are a surfer, volunteering there is perfect. I take all the good experiences and the love from Monia, Nikki and the other volunteers with me. I hope to come back soon!

I had an amazing time at the hostel. I felt immediately welcomed by Monia, the manager who is a super nice woman, and the other volunteers as well. I spent 5 weeks in Bundoran, which btw is an adorable little town, and time flew by. The working hours were well respected and the work itself was not too demanding. I didn't have to do anything that surprised me. In your free time you can go surfing, which is fun! We volunteers grew together very quickly and experienced a lot together. They made my time there unforgettable! There was never a dull moment in the hostel. So I can only recommend it!
