David & Sam are so amazing, you don't even feel that you are working. There were lot of volunteers together everyone were really good! We were like a family together! I wish I want to go back one more time here again! My favourite shift was beach and definitely recommend someone who wants to go there!

I did really like the tasks I had to do. There is a meeting every morning at 10:30. Its discussed who is doing what the next day. That really avoids people to be bored, great idea! Its a good deal too: breakfast and dinner are included for 24 hours a week. I might go back there one day :)

The hostel was the nicest experience ever! from the very beginning the team was really welcoming, they explained me the shifts and how everything works and i loved it. You get a really nice shared dorm, free breakfast and free dinner and they also give u commissions if u sell tours or club tickets so its a nice way to may some extra money you dont have. the hostel has an amazing vibe and i totally recommend it ! i'd totally come back whenever i have the chance. Thanks Sam and David u made such an amazing place to meet new people and to have fun :D

My friend and I found some of the existing volunteers a little clichey and so we didn't have the most amazing social experience while staying. We had a last minute change to our plans though and the hostel was kind enough to let us leave early so that was great!

A good place for outgoing, energetic people who like the party mood. A bit disorganized when I was there, new housing being built, shifts are a bit messy, but the staff (and volunteers) make it worth it. Shoutout to Alex, one of the recepcionists. Very friendly and kind, you can see she really cares about the volunteers. Had many amazing moments in that hostel that'll take with me forever. :)

I'm sorry to say I wouldn't recommend the hostel to any fellow travelers. I applied for a position as bartender a couple of months in advance and confirmed twice that was still planning on coming. When I arrive I'm to know there's no need for a bartender and I'm suggested to volunteer with other tasks. As getting bar experience was the reason I was going the Cancun in the first place I to say the least disappointed. I ended up working a shift with entertaining the guest but left the same night. In honestly felt disrespectful of my time and I hope they up their communication in the future.

All of our job posts mention the fact that shifts are assigned every morning, so no specific shift is guaranteed when working at the Hostel. When a staff member or volunteer has shown flying colors on a certain shift, they earn it as a stable shift. You arrived to work two weeks on bar without experience and expected to work those two weeks (of NYE high season) on bar by yourself without knowing anything about our operations as a business? We apologize for not meeting your unrealistic expectations as a free bar-tending school, but that's just not how it works, especially not in an industry as unstable as tourism. We also had higher expectations of commitment from an older traveler like yourself and someone coming from what is generally considered country with a culture of formality and stability. I hope you give yourself the opportunity to learn something of true value next time by realizing that not everything is as "black and white" as you seem to expect them to be. - David Uribe - Hostel Kabeh
