I've stayed at the hostel for a month and I would have never wanted to leave, the connections that are created by living in this hostel are deep and beautiful. Talking about the work aspect: the shift are established beforehand and you will not get asked to do more, during the shift you will obviously have to work but the job is not difficult or too tiring and the context in which it takes place helps to make it more enjoyable. Here I found what I was looking for and even more, a house full of beautiful people who soon became family.

I was so incredibly lucky to spend time with AloeVera! The people, the environment, the lifestyle was better than i could have imagined. Very shortly after I arrived, AloeVera felt like home. I would recommend this opportunity to everyone who comes across it. The experience was a 10/10. It's a special location with a special team of people, I am a better person from knowing them and being apart of the community. So much gratitude for my time on the island. 🫶

I have been very lucky! the hostel is not just a hostel but a true the hostel when strangers become family and the place becomes home. Two minutes from a not crowdy beach where you can go to surf and relax, plenty of food for the volunteers, both managers friendly and generous, and an atmosphere of peace and fun. It is everything you can look for! Hope to come back at some point :)

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The Managers were nice to me from the beginning and always made sure I felt comfortable and had a good time. The shifts were always manageable and we had a lot of free time to explore the Island. I got to meet many new people and had a lot of fun. I definitely recommend this experience!
