This opportunity should not be missed. It's really a life-changing experience. The only the hostelin the hostelwith a breathtaking eye-level island view that feels like a 5-star paradise.Beyond the view, the warmth, fun and care make you feel loved by everyone with other volunteers, staff, and most esp to the host Paul who treats all like family. The vibe is full of smiles, good talks, games, music, and connection.❤️ Best place to meet people from all over the world! 🌍 Great people (10/10), Food (10/10), and the most caring host Paul (11/10).

My time atthe hostel was one to remember!! This was my first time in the Philippines, but it will not be the last. The other volunteers here were amazing and made me feel part of thethe hostel family. The hours were 11-5 or 5-11pm (here during low season) and everything was easy to learn. You are right on the beach and have access to everything. This is the place where you go if you want family, culture, and the island life. I highly recommend volunteering here for as long as you can, everyone extends their stay here cause they fall in love. I stayed for a month, but wish I stayed for 5. Amazing people!!

My month atthe hostel was incredible. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. There's nothing like this place; waking up in the morning with the most beautiful beachfront view, getting to hang out with friends at the hosteland meeting a ton of travelers. I will definitely come back to visit. Thank you for everythingthe hostel!

Oía is an incredible place! Not only do you meet people from all over the world, but you also connect deeply with the locals and the culture. The only improvement point would be better system organization, as it often gets overbooked, and you might end up sleeping in the tent up top – which is also a super cool experience if you're open to different adventures. Either way, I loved my experience inthethethe hostel, especially getting close to the staff. Everyone treats you like family. Thank you for everything! I hope to come back one day.

Once of my best experiences! the hostelis located infront of the sea, so you get every day an amazing seaview. You also have your kitchen for cooking yourself and the food what you get is also so tasty. The working shifts are fine, I got support and other volunteers helps me aswell. And at least, you get so good connections with the locals so you will be a part of the family 🫶🏼
