I had a wonderful experience volunteering as a yoga teacher for 3 weeks at the hostel. The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive from the very beginning, which made settling in easy and enjoyable. The facilities are great and the hostel is set in a beautiful jungle environment, creating a peaceful and inspiring space to live and teach yoga. The working hours were very fair and exactly as described, with plenty of free time to rest, explore, and enjoy the stunning surrounding area. I highly reccomend this experience to other yoga teachers!

My time at Cocofarm taught me so many valuable experiences. They truely welcomed me into the hostel and made me feel like family - Uriel, Efren, their family, the front desk staff, Steph, Nova, Mary, the housekeeping and kitchen staff. Such a beautiful community that always made an effort for the volunteers and guests to feel welcome and safe. The hostel was such a safe space for me to find my voice and confidence as a yoga teacher. Connecting with the local community, immersing myself in the Filipino culture was so unique and rewarding. I'm so grateful, thank you <3

My time at the hostel was truly a highlight of my trip. This is such a wonderful place to volunteer, the facility is so peaceful and you really feel connected to nature. It attracts really wonderful travelers because the hostel is very social but doesn't focus on partying. Uriel cares so much about the experience and wellbeing of the guests and his volunteers and offers so many great experiences. From the beginning I felt so welcomed. It is a family run hostel and you can feel the love and care that goes into the place. The shifts are fun and start in the evening so you can really enjoy the hostel!

My time at the hostel was an amazing experience and the best experience I could've asked for, for my first volenteering position. All the staff are so kind, welcoming and caring. It felt so homely and Uriel really supports you throughout your time there. I truly felt like part of the hostel family. The food was amazing, the volenteer dorm was really good, spacious and clean. Same goes for the bathrooms. The work was super easy as long as you know how to socialise, listen and lead groups. All-in-all it was an amazing experience and I would highly reccomend Volenteering here!

This was my first-ever volunteer experience, and honestly, the bar is now set sky high. Uriel and the entire team at the hostel created an environment that felt welcoming, purposeful, and full of heart. From day one, I felt supported and included. The team is organized, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do, and that energy makes the experience unforgettable! Salamat the hostel!!!
