This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I loved it! The hostel really felt like a home. Everyone who worked there was lovely and I was definitely looked after. I ended up just working reception, which was very chill once you got the hang of it and I learnt a lot. The island is quite small but it is beautiful and I had a great time exploring. Everyone who came to the hostel was so nice and I met so many people from all over the world! I definitely recommend this experience if you are looking for a place to relax, explore and met new people. Thank you Sofia, Solange, Ana and Fernando!

It was really a good experience, everyone in the hostel is sociable and nice. The work is not difficult. I had a really good time both as a job and with the relationships with others working there. I felt at home and had the chance to immerse myself in nature and feel part of it. The place is wonderful! I absolutely recommend it as an experience to do.

The hostel is a really small paradise, but so full of amazing local people. First of all the work was very fair, cleaning and reception- where I learned a lot!!(I did work of season, mind that)but still: you get a nice breakfast, the showers are really nice and hot, and the vibe of the hostel in general is really cozy (the kitchen equipment was amazing!) Sofia is a really good and professional boss, I also met her holiday substitute Celine who was an absolute sweetheart. Yes, the cleaning ladies don't speak english but Solage, who I worked with, always took the time to explain everything.

I had an amazing time volunteering at this beautiful hostel in the hostel. The staff made me feel like part of a family from day one, and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. The hostel is in a great location, close to the beach and the town center. It's clean, comfortable, and perfect for meeting other people . Volunteering here was rewarding and a great way to give back while enjoying the beauty of the island!

I spent just under 2 months volunteering in the hostel, it was my first world packers experience and I had such an amazing time. The island is such a paradise and everyone at the hostel was so welcoming and friendly. I would absolutely recommend the hostel for a work exchange. Special shout out to Sofia, the best host/boss/friend !
