I had an amazing time at the hostel!! I felt welcomed right away and had so much fun with the other volunteers. If you had questions you could always go to Naseem and Laura. If you're looking for a calm place to enjoy nature, this is the one! Thank you so much :)

I had a lovely time at the hostel! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the hostel has good facilities (and staff have their own living area which is a nice bonus), and in general the guests are nice too. The hostel offers a cozy, laidback atmosphere. The only thing I would say is that the hostel is very remote, so please keep that in mind when considering whether it would be a good fit for you. Thanks for the great experience! x

My time at the hostel was really good! The hostel is quite remote but there is still lots to do & if you love being surrounded by nature this experience is perfect for you. The hours & tasks were as explained & very manageable. The hosts were very welcoming & kind. I'd definitely recommend :)

I didn't see the time go by as it was such a great experience. It's a good place to practise English and meet people. You feel at home, the hostel is surrounded by sheep, fields and mountains: a very peaceful place. I definitly recommand this experience !!!

My time in the hostel was fantastic, now that the experience is over I'm realising how helpful it was. I wanted to relax, study a bit for future exams and practice English, I had all of them. I would recommend this experience to everyone who has the same purposes. Thanks to all the volunteers I've met, for the time spent together. Thanks to Naseem and Laura for the patience, and thanks to Donna for bringing an Irish mood into the hostel. Cheers guys!!

It was one of the best experiences of my life! The staff is great, Donna, Naseem and the other volunteers made me feel at home right away. A place surrounded by nature where you can experience all that Ireland has to offer!

This was truly an amazing experience!! Donna, Naseem, Kelly and the fellow volunteers made this absolutely welcoming and cozy place in the middle of nowhere feel like home! Although BL is a very remote Hostel you can always manage to find new activities and things to discover. I would definitely recommend for people who enjoy some me time (with beautiful sceneries), but also social group activities. The best way, is to find out for yourself :)) Lots of love!!

It was an amazing experience !! I learned a lot about myself and the others. I was there to improve my english and it helped me a lot. I learned about housekeeping and reception. I met amazing people. The place is wonderful, there is an amazing landscape and you are around the real nature.

My experience at the hostel exceeded all expectations easily. Within 48 hours of arriving, I already felt at home. The staff were warm and friendly, Kelly and Naseem guided me throughout the entire process. I came away with new skills (forever excited about folding sheets!) in housekeeping and hospitality, whilst being able to explore the very best of Connemara's natural landscape. This place will remain such a warm memory for me and I'm grateful to have been a part of it. 😊

If I could give the hostel more than 5 stars I would! This place is a rural oasis and the manager Naseem really helped to make the whole group feel like a family. We had a great separate staff area for hanging out and so many amazing hikes and nature in the area (it was great being surrounded by all the adorable sheep!) The work wasn't too intense and the training process was really straightforward I always felt supported if I had any questions. We had lots of downtime to hike go to the lake nearby or even go into town. Anyone looking for a cozy volunteer spot off the beaten path, BL is it!
