The Experience

We are opening a very small cafe with a maximum 10 seater capacity very close to the hostel. The aim is to provide very good coffee from around the best farms in India and also serve some good food. A happy friendly neighbourhood cafe is our plan. We are looking for barista, baker or help with anything related to cafe operations or startup. Hit us up on how you can contribute and we will be happy to have you.

My experience at this hostel was generally quite pleasant. I met wonderful people, the staff team was great and I have good memories. If you want to meet people it's definitely the right place for you and if you're looking to party it's the perfect spot. However there is a real communication problem. For example without being informed in advance, I ended up working 14 days in a row (with no days off) during the holidays and my work shift where often sent very late at night for the following days, which makes it difficult to plan activities outside of the volunteering

Marin wanted to leave early than the agreed dates of volunteering and hence we had a little issue with timings of off days. We require volunteers to help with during the peak days. He was around Christmas and New year and was asking off during the busy days of hostel to party which was not a responsible choice.

Usually the schedule is set the previous day, but have discussed with the manager to get weekly schedule for volunteers from now on.

Love Bucketlist! I had such a fun month here, Ashwin & Vaibhav run a professional and fun hostel and I was so happy to be a volunteer there. A great place to meet international and Indian travellers & I've come away with so many new friends. The work was in the bar and is very easy if you've worked behind bars before or easy to pick up if you haven't. The only thing I would say is there is quite an emphasis at times on promoting a party, which at times can be quite socially exhausting if you're not in the right mood for it, but I was easily dragged out these moods by guests lol! Recommend!

I had a really good time volunteering at the hostel. Vibav and the rest of the team are all extremely helpful and supportive when settling into the role. It's a great way to meet people and see Goa, without spending much money. However it would be nice to have to schedules slightly earlier then the night before. Overall it was a great experience!

I loved my first week there, the bartending they expect from you is very simple and Ashwin is very friendly. It was the most lively hostel of the area and everyone was looking to socialize. I chose to leave about one week earlier, because I started to feel like 6 h per day in exchange to accommodation and free breakfast-lunch, that I kept missing because my shift ended at 2 am, was not worth it. A premade work schedule would help us know our shifts and days-off in advance and avoid working for 7+ days straight.

This is home away from home, you will have so much fun meeting international travelers and connecting with the goa culture. The shifts were very easy and chill, the food was also very good and the party atmosphere is a reflection of what goa is about. All the beaches are a few minutes walking distance and you will always have enough time for you to enjoy the bucketlist life. I highly recommend it if you look for a western style experience while you travel through the universe of India.
