I've had a blast volunteering at the hostel for 4 weeks. The hostel's a very accommodating host, providing a comfy tent and nice shared facilities. Working hours and tasks were exactly as agreed and I appreciated the open communication. I very much enjoyed making breakfast every day in such a relaxed, laid-back environment and can recommend everyone to come and stay in this tropical paradise!

My experience at the hostel was amazing! Holbox island is a little paradise If you're in charge of activities, the job is pretty straightforward : you organise activities, and besides that you have to make sure the guest have a good time and gather them all together. You have to work autonomously so if you have any questions or you need help don't hesitate to ask. the hostel as really great vibes. It will make you feel part of a family. The staff and others volonteers are amazing people. You sleep in a tent, which means you have your own personal space, even if it can be hot sometimes

Volunteering at the hostel was a beautiful experience. I learned and grew so much while I was here. Holbox is an AMAZING island with everything you need. The work is simple and straight forward no matter what job you have. I will miss this place so much and I thank everyone that made this experience so special. If you have the chance to live in a tent on an island in Mexico, I 100% suggest you take it ❤️Gracias Gracias Gracias!

Holbox is an amazing island and I would recommend anyone to go visit if you love the beach and camping (since you'll be sleeping in a tent)! It is a little more expensive than the rest of Mexico, so be prepared for that. As for the hostel, the team I worked with was amazing, and the hostel was a really chill atmosphere. However, multiple times I felt disrespected by management and I was blamed for things that were out of my control. Aside from that, it was a great experience!

Dear Amelia,
I'm really glad you had such a great time in Holbox and got along well with the team! I apologize for making you feel disrespected and appreciate your feedback - this is not how I would ever want to make someone feel.
Unfortunately, already on the first day, it became evident that you had strongly exaggerated your kitchen experience. Guests and other team members often complained about the quality of work and over time it became unsatisfying that certain mistakes were repeated.
Still, your outgoing personality contributed to a great atmosphere at the hostel and I'm sorry we didn't get off on the right foot. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and great onward travels.
Best regards,
Nadja
