The Experience

The hostel is located in the heart of Connemara and is at the base of the wonderful mountain, Ben lettery 🏔️. Perfect place to hiking and enjoy what Connemara has to offer. We are looking for volunteers to help with painting, light housekeeping, if you're handy with a hammer it's a plus and creating a homely atmosphere for our guests. We want to create a cosy hiking, family vibe and need you to help us with this. :)

Volunteering at the hostel is one of the best decisions you'll ever make. The hours and tasks are simple and easy, the surroundings incredible, and the people you'll meet - I don't even have words for. I met so many people from around the world and made close new friends with the other volunteers. Most importantly, the manager, Kenny, is fantastic - fabulous to work and hang out with, and is a truly kind person who goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good stay. Cannot recommend this experience enough - I'm sure I'll be back soon!

I had a great experience at the hostel! The work was easy and the hours were respected, most of the time you'd be able to finish early. The surroundings are beautiful with multiple hikes nearby. Be aware the closest town is a 15 min drive away so you really are in the middle of nowhere. You meet great people, guests and other volunteers. Kenny our manager was very kind and always there to help out when needed. I really enjoyed my time there and I highly recommend this experience!!

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 experience💗

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❤️
