The Experience

We are looking for volunteers who can help out with the general running of a backpackers hostel. Cleaning, reception, liaising with guests and any Ad Hoc duties that occur. We are looking for friendly, sociable people with a good level of English. No previous experience is necessary. You will either be working morning shifts (08:00 - 14:00): serving breakfast orders, checking people in, renting kayaks and just being a smiley face to make guests.

This was my first time volunteering and i would recommend it to anyone !! Everyone at this hostel is super welcoming and so so kind. Special mention to Jamie and Tak who both worked here with me, they made my stay exceptional. Work hours are easy and even though it's a little far from town, it's very easy to get to with a bike or tuktuk

I've just left the hostel and absolutely loved my 2 weeks there. As it's rainy season there are no evening events and fewer travellers, so it's a great place to just chill in your free time. Bicycles and kayaks are free to use for volunteers. The team are great and will help you with whatever you need. I hope to go back sometime!

Even if at first you can feel a little overwhelmed, after few days it will pass and you will enjoy so much the time you have there ! The place is absolutely amazing and town is not really far if you want to explore more on your free hours :) Working hours are respected and they are very flexible if you have any issues with it ! I really recommend this place , you arrive as a simple volunteer and you leave as a family member, everyone is so nice and feel free to ask any questions they will answer and help you ! Thank you for this amazing experience I will miss you the hostel <3
