It has been the best volunteer I have ever did. When we arrived the manager show and explained to us everything, it was so clear and good. The unique thing I consider they should improve is have a document or something where volunteers can find easily all the activities that we have to create or prepare in the hostel because sometimes its confuse and most of the time guest don't join but its ok because if you put all your energy to do all the hostel want you are going to love, especially if you are not to much a party people. here you are going to find peace and tranquil vibes.

It was a wonderful time we had at the hostel! Staff is very welcoming and wonderful, we had the chance to bound and spend time with them. The location in perfect, not far away from General Luna or party or surfing. We met Jaime one time for Christmas party and he was so welcoming we felt like a part of the team. Hostel is very nice, the food is amazing thanks to the amazing chefs. Most of the guest are amazing and very keen to do all sort of activities and hang out. We had the chance to meet a lot of amazing people! Totally recommend the place to discover properly the life in the hostel

My experience at the hostel was good. The staff members were super friendly and welcoming. The food and the hostel were great. The task was to organize activities for the guests but sometimes that seemed kind of hard because the guests weren't informed at their arrival of the fact that the hotel had activities planned; so as volunteers we kinda had to walk around the hostel and approach guests while they were at the pool/bar and it felt a bit like we were intruding and disturbing them. Overall my experience there was good and if you want to go to the philippines I recommend this place.
