My stay at the hostel has been beyond lovely! The team and volunteers are like family, you will be welcomed with open arms and every person involved cares so much about the hostel. The work is fine, you work 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, and its easy to learn. Lanquin is gorgeous and even though the hostel is quite secluded, you can easily walk to town or to the river. I am beyond grateful for everyone here, especially owner/manager Grace. My first month here i was the only girl and she always supported me and made me feel safe, as she does for everyone.🫶🏼

The hostel is a beautiful place where you can connect with nature, the work is easy and fun! And also gives you the chance to meet travelers from all over the world every day. The staff is amazing, everyone is friendly and makes you feel at home. I practice my english, I learn about the local culture, it's incredible to hear the locals speak q'eqchi! I'm leaving with wonderful memories, new friends, new skills and a new family. Thanks to everyone for everything I learned, the kindness and love I received, and for making my experience unforgettable! Los voy a extrañar mucho, espero volver pronto(:

If you are looking to explore Lanquin and Semuc Champey this is the best way to do it but you will soon find the real beauty lies in the people. I met tons of incredibly interesting and awesome people from all over the world, formed deep and heartfelt connections with the other volunteers and locals, and left with my heart full of all the love I received from everyone there. I arrived looking for an opportunity to learn and grow and left with my expectations exceeded. I learned a lot about the world, about people and about myself. If anything resonates the hostel is the place for you.

I loved my time at the hostel so much I extended my stay by 2 extra weeks! The work is fast-paced but super enjoyable and easy to learn. All the guests and staff I met made my time so wonderful, this is the perfect place if you want to relax, have a good time, and meet tons of cool people :)

The hostel is an experience where I immersed myself in the local culture; listening to the locals in their native language is amazing! Despite several hours of work and having to work during Easter week, which was a lot, I had fun! They were always flexible and understanding. I was able to develop many skills, thanks to everyone for welcoming me ❤️

My time here has been amazing, offering professional growth and immersion in Maya culture. Hearing Maya spoken casually at work has been a joy. Life at the hostel, amidst serene surroundings, is bustling but relaxing. Despite brief encounters, the local community at the hostel feels like family. My supportive manager tailors opportunities to our skills, and as an Instagrammer, I've shared the beauty of the place. While visitors come for tours like the Lanquín River and Semuc Champey, it's the warmth of the local community that truly sets this experience apart. #SenseOfBelonging

Must have stamina! I loved my time here, I ended up extending by 2 weeks but it does require a high degree of energy and adaptability. The shifts are all bartending and creating a fun environment for the guests, but it's also a full on restaurant job so accuracy, speed and customer service are also important. The days are 6.5 hours a day, 6 days a week which is a bit more than advertised, but still leaves plenty of time to enjoy the hostel and activities. Overall it was an amazing time as long as you are up for it! The friends you make along the way will be worth all the sleepless night

Beyond grateful for this amazing experience in the Guatemalan jungle! As a volunteer, I got to learn how to bartend, go tubing, explore the town of Lanquín, see Semuc Champey, and so much more! Gracias por todo y los extraño mucho :)

The hostel is an amazing hostel with an amazing team. It's a nice mix of locals and people from all over the world. Everyone is so nice and fun. It is relatively a lot of hours, but they do double check if you are fine with that beforehand. Eventho it's a lot of hours, most of your shifts are at night so during the day you have a lot of free time still. And during shift it usually doesn't feel like working anyway because you are having fun with your colleagues. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that the room shown on the pictures is not the staff house where you will be sleeping.

The hostel is a beautiful hostel with amazing travellers. Living conditions and management couldn't be better. However welcomed the management made me feel the local staff really dented my experience, to the point where I felt very uncomfortable and was ready to leave two weeks in. The team needs some serious work on understanding what the expectations of a volunteer is. As a girl and two previous girl volunteers, working here was uncomfortable and very isolating. This is disappointing as this volunteer opportunity has a beautiful potential.
