The second I came to the hostel I felt like home. This place and people there were truly so lovely and I always felt like a part of a family. The tasks were very easy, Dominique and Miguel made sure I felt comfortable, understood everything and were ready to help whenever I needed. The place and shifts were very well organised. Communication within the team was very good. The atmosphere was super chill and relaxed. It's a very social and you get to meet people from all over the world and make local connections too. The whole thing felt like a dream! I'll be back one day ❤️

Dominique and the rest of the hostel's staff warmly welcomed me to the team and to town. Communication was effective all times, and Dominique is easy going and always willing to help either with situations regarding the hostel or even with personal advice. Thank you for having me!

First day, the team made me feel like part of the family, and Dominique's hospitality is truly exceptional. During my stay, I participated in tasks such as cleaning, reception, and guest activities, which allowed me to learn new skills and meet travelers from all over the world. The atmosphere is very friendly, relaxed, and safe, perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature and people from different cultures. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to combine work with cultural experiences and personal growth. I would definitely volunteer with them again in the future¡¡

Absolute amazing experience and highly recommended! Dominique is such a great person who deeply care about the place and volunteers. I felt the place is home away home because of her efforts, which leads to make an amazing community that made me feel like family ❤️ If you are not familiar with Cabo, there are things you should know. It's expensive and touristy. But it feels so safe. I could even walk around the town by myself. So overall, it is a perfect opportunity if you want to take first step for worldpackers experience and especially for a woman solo traveler.
