I know everyone says this but, the hostel has a special place in my heart. During the day you have time and space to go on tours or walk around the town or simply relax in the pool/river. The shifts are simple and the staff is always very helpful. The food is AMAZING and you will have plenty of options. The accommodation is great with a balcony and tons of storage space. Big thanks to Sara, Stevie and others for making this experience amazing. #guatemaya ❤️

I had an absolutely incredible month! I 100% recommend this experience. Even though my English isn't fluent and my Spanish is even worse, everyone was incredibly patient and understanding with me. I left with tears in my eyes, wishing I could have stayed forever in this little paradise hidden in the Guatemalan jungle. I made unforgettable memories and met amazing people who have become lifelong friends. I'm sure I'll come back one day, It's only a matter of time.

First of all, everyone is super welcoming and inviting, youre never left out on your own! secondly, in my opinion the volunteers get really great benefits (including free tours to semuc champey and the food real good too😅). In general, only best reviews for this place, super thankful for having had the opportunity to come here!🫶

100% recommended!!! the hostel = Family ❤️🏠 My first volunteering and it was unforgettable! I went with my best friend, and from day one we felt at home. The team is kind, fun, and everything flows with ease. Tasks are clear, the pool shifts are the most fun, I met people from all over 🌏 learned to make amazing 🍹. We bonded with other volunteers like sisters we're still traveling together🥹! The food, karaoke nights, tours, and good vibes made it all magical. Saying goodbye was the hardest part. I wrote a much longer review, but there's a word limit feel free to message me for the full story! ✨

Everyone at the hostel are amazing and welcoming. I felt right at home. It is a very social hostel so just be ready to have fun while you work!!! The staff is amazing and make you feel very comfortable. On your time off you can go down to the river or even go tubbing. Semuc champey and the caves are only 20 min away by Tuk Tuk. Great experience!! Would definitely do it again.
