I had such a great time! The job is easy, people are welcoming, the experience is very chill. I needed some peace and quiet and surely found there (and good friends for life too). Ill miss the sheep and their cute babies, the STUNNIN views, the singalongs, family dinners and of course the team that made me feel like home. Thank you Naseem, Donna, Kelly - and the woodquay team too!

I had incredible moments at the hostel. The building is situated in a beautiful area with a stunning view. I was during the low guest session at the hostel and so I had the opportunity to have other experiences, which were also fun. The Connemara region is a jewel in the world! This experience brought me a lot of peace and I didn't stress for a day. Fergal, the manager, is a precious host. Always available to help and with lots of stories and laughs to share! I highly recommend this position. My sincere thanks to Fergal, Donna, Cathal and the entire team. You guys rocks! 🤘🎸

My experience at the hostel was excellent, the place is truly magical, full of nature, we were literally at the foot of the mountain and the sheep grazed very close. Fergal was always very friendly, he offered to take us to the town to buy groceries. The tasks are simple and I had the opportunity to speak with people of different nationalities, thus improving my English. I also learned to play piano, there is a beautiful piano and a guitar! I really have the best memories, I met very nice people with whom I formed a friendship! Thanks to the hostel team.Fergal and Dona.

This experience was just as I imagined it 🌈. It's surrounded by nature, with a fair accommodation-work exchange, we've to much time to spend both with yourself and with all the guests who arrived. I've wonderful memories of the evenings spent at the cozy room with people of all nationalities. I highly recommend the experience in this hostel, if you want to be in contact with as many people and volunteers as possible I recommend the summer months; while for those who want to have an experience where they can also stay alone and reflect the months like October are perfect! ☀️

I had a really great time at the hostel. The place was nice, the tasks weren't that difficult and I learned a lot of new things. I met a lot of amazing people there, especially, of course, the other volunteers, with whom I shared happy and meaningful moments. Fergal, the manager, was really nice and chill, he always had a good story to tell and was always there to help me and the team. I'm very grateful for this opportunity. Thanks a million, BL Team, cheers ;)

My experience at the hostel was an amazing 4 weeks! The work was just as described on Worldpackers, making beds and cleaning in the morning and checking in guests in the afternoon/ evening. The surrounding area of Connemara was very beautiful with a lake that is easily accessible from the hostel. There are hiking routes that start at the hostel as well. I also worked with an amazing group of people from all over the world that that I'm happy to call my friends. I highly recommend volunteering at the hostel!

Volunteering here was amazing. The hostel is at a very peaceful location and has a nice cozy atmosphere. There was a couple of different daily tasks to be done, so remembering small details from each of them was a bit confusing at first (especially as it was my first volunteering job in a hostel). However, support was always offered so it never felt overwhelming. Fergal, the manager, was super kind and welcoming, and the other volunteers quickly became great friends. I'm very grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to spend some time in the countryside.
