Volunteering at the hostel is more than you'd expect. It's an opportunity to make friends for life, to grow as a person, to learn the hostel lifestyle while also getting out of your comfort zone and trying new things. I loved every minute I spent there and couldn't have asked for a better family to share core memories with.

Everything about my experience here was beautiful! Everyone you meet will have a lasting impact whether it's other travellers or the locals who know how special this place is (shoutout omar!) You can count on the staff like Ivi, Fran or Gio with any concerns, and they will be one step ahead in making sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a little magic. Thank you for everything the hostel!!

Loved my time here. This is my second time at the hostel and I have loved my experience both times, I have learned so much Spanish at the hostel and it is a perfect balance of a social hostel. Eternally grateful to Ivi, Pamela and Fran for all their help. I'll be back soon and I cannot recommend this experience enough

Bienvenido a the hostel. Honestly such a big thank you to all the staff, volunteers and local community. Such a fun and amazing experience. Everyone is so lovely and welcoming, work hours are appropriate and accomodation is good. The hostel is the perfect mix of chill, social, party and feels like you're in Mexico compared to la punta. It's a bit far from everything but not too far to be an issue. All the beautiful beaches are within 20 minute walk. Big thanks to Ivi, señor and edher for putting up with me. I will be back
