Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience! The team is kind, welcoming, and super flexible. They really do their best to make sure we have the best experience possible. The tasks are simple, clearly explained, and there's always someone available to help if you have any questions. I had wonderful moments here and met people I'll carry in my heart. Highly recommended!

The hostel is a first-rate volunteer experience. Pros: Work is easy housekeeping tasks and maybe only 3 and a half hours daily. You pick up tasks quickly and everything is collaborative. Social aspect is awesome. I met loads of people from around the globe and made real memories. the hostel is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Enough said. Cons: Buses to explore the island are infrequent, serve few destinations and are overpriced. Hitchhiking is a must. Beds could be more comfortable. The grocery store being a 45 minute walk is not great.

I can't recommend the hostel highly enough. The work is straightforward and clearly explained, and the hostel itself is clean and well run. This was my first time volunteering, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. The guests are all super friendly and social. It's a great place if you want to meet lots of different kinds of people from all over the world. The vibe among the volunteers and staff is amazing. Jess and Ronan really make it feel like home away from home. Thank you the hostel for found family and a life changing experience ❤️

Me and my friend Morgan felt very welcomed at the hostel, everyone was really friendly and we had an overall amazing time with the people. The hosts are super generous and very kind😊 Work is simple and after work you can go explore the island by bus or hitchhiking. Isle of the hostel is definitely worth seeing!!
