I had a great experience volunteering at the coliving! The management, especially Ivonne, is so sweet and welcoming — she really makes you feel at home. The hostel is always clean thanks to the hardworking cleaning staff, and the showers are always hot 🙌🏾 The bunks are comfy, there's plenty of space, and the vibe is super friendly. The volunteer schedule is really flexible with only 2–3 shifts a week (6 hours each), plus one easy and fun activity like family dinner, game night, or a weekend trip. Highly recommend🥹

My heart is filled with sadness as I prepare to leave this wonderful community that has become like family these past few weeks, Ivonne, Laurens and everyone else working here are so loving and so passionate about their work, they truly care for both the volunteers and the guests and are really focused on building a sense of community amongst everyone here! I will forever be grateful to this place, for all the shared moments, laughs and meaningful connections I have made with my fellow volunteers and with the guests. I grew so much from this experience and highly recommend you join!

Ivonne and Laurens created a really special place directly in the centre of beautiful oaxaca. It is a place to get inspired and work with focus. The facilities are great! The activities you will lead various and unique. You can also come up with your own ideas. The work is very simple and fair. Personally I prefer shifts where you have more to do. In the coliving your main task is to communicate with the guests. Oaxaca and the coliving is a great and vibrant place. If you consider to go to Oaxaca - volunteer there!

I had a great 1 month volunteering at the coliving. I truly felt respected here, the team is full of young open minded creative people. It is a truly calm, positive and inspirational environment. It was my first time being surrounded by so many digital nomads as well and I found it super interesting to learn more about each of the guest. We had to also organize 1 trip or activity every week, which was covered by the coliving. The only thing missing were the free spanish lessons but there are plenty of classes that you can take in Oaxaca for cheap!

I would definitely recommend the coliving to a traveller and digital nomad! This community is truly a family away from home. The layout is designed to be conducive to community, but the coworking space is quiet and separate. Ivonne, the manager, is thoughtful, kind, and understanding. I always knew my schedule the week before and could request changes if I needed. I never had to wait for a shower or bathroom in the shared facilities. Ivonne was available if I had any questions during my shift, and was patient when I needed additional help. I loved being a part of the weekly activities! I'll be back!
