I loved my volunteering at the hostel, the place is beautiful and also the vibes of the people, Zipolite is really a magical place if you want to reconnect with love, people and your purpose. The tasks in the volunteering were easy and short, so I had a lot of time to enjoy and meet fellow open-minded travelers. I definitely want to go back, also the host Ernesto is very patient and kind with you.

The hostel was my first worldpackers esperience and I think my standard now is pretty high! Ernesto and the rest of the team were always kind, understanding and welcoming. I really enjoyed not only the space, which is beautiful, but also the tasks. I was lucky enough to help twice in the kitchen of the restaurant Senem and enjoy their food as well. The other days were dedicated mostly to cleaning. You will work 3 hours a day and have 2 days off per week. Moreover, you can partecipate to activities and classes with a discount or for free. I will forever remember this positive experience, thank you!

The hostel is a nice place to do your volunteering ! There is a very good work and personal life balance! The place by itself is a good place to live! Very close to the sea! Tasks are clear and the communication too! I recommend ! 🤗

The hostel is absolutely a paradise. I feel very lucky to volunteer here. Ernesto is very flexible and easy going host while giving clear tasks to complete. I liked the balance where I worked in the morning and rest of the day had the chance to join local activites and workshops. If you are looking for mindfullness and spirituality while volunteering a few hours a day the hostel is Awesome I would definitely come here again. Also the chef Senem creates magic with her veggies really nice to get inspired and work together with her :)
