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.

I had such an amazing time volunteering here! The staff and the other volunteers were great and you get to meet heaps of other travellers. The work is fun and enjoyable and the location is perfect if you like to chill, swim and lay in the hostel all day 😊 I definitely recommend applying!

This is the best place to start your volunteering journey! I had the best time. It really is like a family here. The work hours are respected and lenient if needs be. I had to cut my time short due to being in the hospital but even though I couldn't work they still sent me food to the hospital and welcomed me back when I returned! Honestly couldn't recommend this place more.

Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience. The hostel's bar and the common area were such nice places to spend time in. The work was easy and I enjoyed it. The only disadvantage was that there wasn't really any training. The host didn't explain to us for example how the check in system worked or how to rent motorbikes ect. Also there is 36 hours of work in total (6 days a week 6 hours a day), not 32. This is not a minus, working there was really fun but the information on worldpackers is different. The volunteers are like a family and the atmosphere is super! I would recommend!

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed spending time in our bar and common area and that the work was enjoyable for you. We appreciate your feedback on the lack of training, and we'll work to improve that process in the future. Thanks also for bringing to our notice the misprint about the working hours. We'll update that information as soon as possible. We're glad to hear that you felt like part of our hostel family.
