I loved getting to volunteer here! Everybody was so welcoming and kind and although I had to leave early for personal reasons every moment there was amazing! I'm so grateful I got to be apart of the team, although just for a short time. The environment was super chill but super fun and they had so many fun events to do throughout the week! And also the food there is delicious. I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to meet everyone there!!:)

I had a great time at the hostel. The team I worked with was amazing, both volunteers and managers. It is still a developing place, and I hope it keeps evolving, because there is so much potential. The kitchen staff was amazing, so inclusive and always good vibes. Sad to say goodbye to everyone.

This was my first time volunteering and it was amazing! With the free breakfast, meals and discounts you can basically live for free (if you don't drink!) It is a great place to live as it's not a party hostels like Mellow, Cocori and Driftwood in El Paredón so it is very chill. I worked in the restaurant which was very useful for practicing Spanish because the kitchen only speak Spanish! All the workers here are amazing buena onda, creating a lovely sense of community like it was so easy to make friends! AC rooms were very nice and you are only two minutes from the beach so enojyyy!

The hostel/restaurant is pretty new and it needs more time and attention to really start and become a good place, it actually has a great potencial, the position is perfect, the managers were incredibles and the kitchen staff was amazing, everyone was working really well. I loved my stay there until the bosses came. I quit the job a week before because i was not feeling comfortable anymore.
