Volunteering at the hostel was truly one of the highlights of my sabbatical. Surrounded by lush nature, the hostel offers a peaceful space to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy meaningful moments both with yourself and with the guests. The working hours were fair and clearly defined, the tasks were simple and enjoyable, and Uriel, the host, went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience for all volunteers. The breakfasts and dinners were absolutely delicious, homemade, and prepared with so much love, it made every meal feel special. I wholeheartedly recommend the hostel <3

The volunteering experience was very good :) Uriel is a great host who truly cares about the place and the volunteers, he creates a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. The tasks are simple and easy, making the routine light. The property is perfect to relax, with comfortable rooms and well-kept spaces, one of the best hostels I've stayed at so far. Food is another highlight, much of it coming directly from the place, and there are always vegetarian options, which is a big plus. Overall, one of the best volunteering experiences I've had. the hostel is beautiful, and I definitely recommend it. ✨🌴

I had the absolute best time volunteering at the hostel! Uriel (the host) is super organised and kind - the responsibilities are super clearly outlined and he is very accommodating if you have any requests. The work itself is social, very easy and fun. the hostel is beautiful and the hostel is such a lovely place to stay. I really can't recommend this place enough!

I had such a great chilled out time here at the hostel, the facilities themselves are stunning and the breakfast is unreal! It's a very chilled yet social environment and urial is extremely helpful and supporting with any issues or enquiries that you have. He was extremely helpful when I was planning my days off which I'm very appreciative of!

The hostel.. a place built on the foundations of support, community, kindness and connection. All of which we received in full by Uriel and his family. Uriel was always supportive, clear communication and a genuine interest in helping and connecting with both volunteers and guests. If you naturally seek connection, having conversations and attending family dinners… then it really doesn't feel like work as you would do all the volunteer expectations anyway. The hostel is set in beautiful nature, the homemade foods are divine and with all day to explore it truly is incredible!! Adored it here!
