My experience at the hostel was just amazing. I had the opportunity to meet many people coming from different parts of the world and l improved my English a lot. Kenny is an amazing manager, always ready to help you and making sure to provide a cozy and welcoming environment. The working schedule is respected and not difficult at all. You have to be ready to be surrounded by nature, also because reaching other places is kinda difficult so you will be spending most of your days at the hostel or nearby. I really recommend this experienceđź’—

What a perfect experience! From the moment I got here I felt welcomed and cared about. The landscape is absolutely stunning. Kenny is a really fun and great manager. Hours are respected and often you finish early. Since you're kind of in the middle of no where, we spent most days just watching TV together as a group of volunteers or playing board games. It was such a great break to have in the middle of long term travel. The work is super easy and straightforward and the people are great. Could not recommend this enough as long as you are aware that there truly isn't much to do in the area.

This was my first volunteering experience, and it was absolutely amazing. If you love nature and a friendly, chill vibe, this is the place to be. Kenny is such a great manager, always making sure everyone feels at home and has the best time. The tasks are simple and way more easier when you do them as a team, and I got super lucky with awesome volunteers and meeting cool guests. I'll never be able to thank the hostel enough❤️

I loved my stay at the hostel! It was an enriching experience, which allowed me to meet lots of lovely people. Naseem and Kenny are two great managers, welcoming, caring and attentive. The work isn't hard and there's plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings of Connemara. I highly recommend this place ;)

My stay at the hostel was a really great experience! Naseem is a very kind host and the work is quick and easy. The nature surrounding the hostel is also stunning, though I would definitely recommend bringing some waterproof shoes. :) In general, I would definitely recommend this place for a calming and fun stay, spending time in nature and making some new friends (and seeing lots of sheep)!
