100% recommended!!! the hostel = Family ❤️🏠 My first volunteering and it was unforgettable! I went with my best friend, and from day one we felt at home. The team is kind, fun, and everything flows with ease. Tasks are clear, the pool shifts are the most fun, I met people from all over 🌏 learned to make amazing 🍹. We bonded with other volunteers like sisters we're still traveling together🥹! The food, karaoke nights, tours, and good vibes made it all magical. Saying goodbye was the hardest part. I wrote a much longer review, but there's a word limit feel free to message me for the full story! ✨

Everyone at the hostel are amazing and welcoming. I felt right at home. It is a very social hostel so just be ready to have fun while you work!!! The staff is amazing and make you feel very comfortable. On your time off you can go down to the river or even go tubbing. Semuc champey and the caves are only 20 min away by Tuk Tuk. Great experience!! Would definitely do it again.

My experience at the hostel was unmatched. Everyone there made this place feel like home and I will definitely be returning. When I first took the job, I was a little apprehensive about the longer working hours but it is honestly so worth it. I couldn't recommend this place more. Bring on the Bombshells!!!!

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to volunteer at the hostel for one month. Thank you all for taking such good care of me ( especially Grace, Greg and Callum )and making me feel the warmth of Guatemala—it felt just like home. I look forward to building an even deeper connection with Guatemala and Lanquín in the future. I love you all. I look forward to seeing you again, drinking Gallo together, listening to Reggaeton, and dancing together!

The hostel was one of the best months of my life. Callum was amazing and even allowed my boyfriend to volunteer for a few days, which meant a lot to me. I truly felt like I had a family away from home, everyone treated me with so much care, especially when I got sick for a few days. They made me feel safe, loved, and supported. The energy of the place is unique and the connections I built will stay with me forever. And I can't forget to mention the food... every meal was a true gastronomic experience! I'll always be grateful.
