Hey, It was a really nice month there, With amazing views when you wake up, you don't need an alarm, because the sun wake you up with a beautiful sunrise. The staff there were really friendly and treated me like a family, they were flexible with the hours and they let me do the activities that i wanted with the guests. Loved to help growing the hostel, the vibes are really chill and you can relax a lot. The campfires, playing some volleyball, swimming... A lot of things to do, also if you want party you can go to other places and when you come back you can sleep properly! Thanks Dasun and staf

I made very good friends during my stay and the view of the sea is incredible, but I honestly do not recommend it for volunteering, there is really no organization, there are no tasks and everything that is promised in worldpackers they do not fulfill, the property is not as in the photos , and the treatment of the volunteers is not the best.

El trabajo está bien. Las intalaciones estan viejas y descuidadas. No cumple con el anuncio en worldpackers ya que no hay tablas de surf ni clases de yoga y surf. Los trabajadores muy bien y amables.
