I stayed at the hostel Cancun for one month. I was very well received by Carlos and Meche, as well as all the volunteers. We had free time, which allowed us to visit the surrounding area, and Carlos was flexible with my schedule so I could go on excursions. I loved the experience and the opportunity to meet travelers from all over the world!

I wanted to be a volunteer in the hostel because for many times I was a guest here, my favorite hostal. So now that I finish my first period (one month – cus I extend my volunteer) I confirm my beliefs but even it exceeded my own expectations! Thanks Carlos and all team there!

This was by far the best thing that could have happened to us. The Hostel as well as all other employees and volunteers were a blessing. Right on the first day we felt like a family and knew it would be hard to leave after the month. The working hours as well as our free time were perfect scheduled, so we definitely had enough time to explore Cancun and it's surroundings and also go partying whenever we felt like it. We can absolutely recommend that experience for everybody and also long -term wise!!! It was such a pleasure meeting everyone and we can say we will definitely be back!!!

It was my first experience as a volunteer for Worldpackers and it couldn't have been better. The daily interaction with both the hostel staff and the guests delighted me. Flexible working hours and with enough free time to explore Cancun and neighbouring cities. The accommodation for volunteers is comfortable and is in a different unit; you work in one place and rest in another, giving you more freedom. For digital nomads, the internet in both units is good and you can work quietly. The kitchen is equipped, you can prepare your meals anytime. Excellent experience!

The reception work is great–5hr shifts and the manager Meche explains everything to you. You can always ask in the group chat to Meche or Carlos if you need anything, or directly. Booked and busy hostel so perfect if you want to meet other travellers alongside other volunteers. Location is good, a balance between tourists and locals.
