The hostel is by far the best place i ever volunteered. First of all Nadia the manager is so lovely and a caring leader, great comunicationg along the team and the task and expectations are clearly defined. The place is amazing, near Zicatela beach, the hostel itself is a vibe very social and freely, its very clean and they give you the oppotunity to earn money trhow through commision by selling tours, club tickets, or getting your name on a review in HostelWorld. I really loved this place and hope to come back soon <3

Volunteering at the hostel truly felt like a home away from home, not just within the hostel walls, but the whole community of La Punta. Everything agreed on was met, plus a bunch of extra discounts that I wasn't expecting. The management team treats everyone like family, and it always feels like having fun and looking out for each other is just as important as the work. The hostel is run so smoothly that it only takes a shift or two to feel like you know everyone. Their leadership and community activism during a hurricane were inspiring. Already planning when I can come back again.

I had an amazing experience volunteering at the hostel, everyone was so friendly and all the staff were so kind. I would recommend it for social solo travellers as it is so easy to meet people from around the world . Thank you!🌍🩷

Unfortunately, my stay at the hostel was brief, as I had to cut my trip short—a real shame because this was easily one of the best hostels. The vibe was absolutely immaculate. The people were warm and welcoming, the space itself was beautiful, and there were daily activities to keep things exciting. the hostel is definitely a party hostel, so I'd recommend it for extroverts who love socializing and meeting new people. It's perfectly located in the heart of La Punta, Puerto Escondido—just a five-minute walk from a great surfing beach and right in the middle of a lively surf town. I hope to be back :)

My time at the hostel was amazing! Such cool vibes from all the staff, Nadia, Jacob, Dani and Marco were always so welcoming and my relationship with the other volunteers felt like a family! Puerto is awesome. Chill at the beach throughout the day and fun at night. I recommend this place 100% !!!
