It's been a huge pleasure spending the last two months at the hostel. The managers are super friendly and always willing to listen. I've met many guests who were very impressed by the friendly atmosphere, the volunteers, and the hostel itself. Although the hostel is a half-hour walk from the hostel, the location is a dream, with a beach and sea views for breakfast. The shifts are usually manageable, but can sometimes be stressful. Luckily, we've always been able to help each other keep the hostel clean and tidy.

2 months with the hostel family was definitely too short, my amazing stay started the second they opened the door. Its a privilege to be able to live in this place and with all the wonderful people, i truly fell in love with the house and the people around it. Everything was as discussed, you will have a lot of free time to explore the island and meet both locals and other travelers. the hostel is a amazing city where i spend a lot of time. The volunteers i the hostel this experience with will always be close to my heart, and thanks Matias, Tiziano and Carlos for everything! See you soon!🫶🏼

From the day I arrived to the hostel until the day I left, the experience was nothing else but a dream. I never thought that I can create such deep friendships and connections with likeminded people. The work itself was great, nothing hard, also learned lots of useful skills, especially social… the managers are like close friends that will help you anytime you need them. But it's not just the hostel, the place around is so beautiful I can't even describe it. Well of course the best thing were the other volunteers who made this experience full of love and unforgettable memories ❤️.

It was my first experience as a volunteer and I couldn't ask for a better one ! The managers, Mati and Tiziano, are really welcoming, they always made sure that I was feeling good and having a good time :) The hostel is great, two minutes away from the beach and the area is really calm. We are a team of 4 volunteers, it's like being part of a small family and each of them were lovely :) Thank you so much, it's an unforgettable experience and I hope to come back one day 🫶🏼🫶🏼
