I felt immediately welcomed when I arrived. Hasi is such a friendly cheerful person who just makes you feel happy as well. The hostel has been open a little over a year so new things are being added including the bar, which was my main role. I really enjoyed having creative freedom to set the bar up, make the cocktail menu, figure out what we need and teach the locals how to bartend. I truly felt like the hostel was a home to me, I feel so comfortable there. Fell in love with the dogs, the locals, and the surf 🤙🏼

Greti did an amazing job as our social media volunteer at Chill Vibes Hiriketiya! She was super dedicated to her tasks, covering all our events with creativity and attention to detail. The videos she made were not only well-edited but also captured the fun, energy, and essence of our space perfectly. Her content really helped showcase what we’re all about. If you’re looking for someone reliable, creative, and proactive for social media, I’d definitely recommend Greti!

It is a super social hostel with loads of lovely guests and a lot of fun activities to organize and host! I loved working there, although the workload was more than I expected since I was the only volunteer there at the time. I think it will become a better volunteering opportunity in the future when there are more volunteers dividing the tasks between them, as well as when the hostel has more ordinairy reception staff. This being said, the hosts are lovely and working there was so much fun!

This was my first solo travel experience and volunteering and it was a great experience. The hosts are friendly and understanding, and we got really along. The guest were okay. Working hours and work was distributed fairly between volunteers. Other volunteers were amazing. Overall, I had a great time and meet awesome people! Thank you for the amazing experience and new friendships:))
