My time at the hostel was absolutely amazing. I was there as a yoga teacher and all of my tasks were fair and fun. I made incredible friendships with the other volunteers, guests, and staff. Everyone was truly amazing. The hostel is a really nice space to be in and I loved participating in the activities. Claudia, the host, was kind and helpful. She does a great job supporting the volunteers and is lovely to spend time with. I am leaving the hostel T with countless memories I hope never to forget.

I had literally the best time volunteering as the yoga teacher at the hostel location! Lexy, the manager is great and clearly communicated tasks. All the local staff are fun and welcoming as well. I worked the breakfast shift and then taught the yoga class in the evening (so a split shift which wasn't always ideal, but overall I didn't mind). Tasks/ shifts are the same as communicated beforehand. I will say that, no matter your role, this is a super social job/ place so make sure you are ready for that:)

I had an absolute blast volunteering at the hostel! From the moment I arrived, I felt super comfortable and welcome. The hostel is such a fun space and all the guests I got to meet were amazing! the hostel has a great culture and is super inclusive to everyone! They have a great balance between going out & partying and doing activities that don't involve drinking only. I loved both roles; night rep and social butterfly! Claudia (the host/manager) is amazing too! She has a great system for getting you started and feeling comfortable with the role and she's always around to chat to & join in!

My time at the hostel was amazing! The island is such a nice place to spend a few weeks, and the managers Claudia and Lexy were so great! The hostel itself is very nice and provides lots of opportunities to meet other travelers and volunteers, and the hostel staff is incredible. ❤️

This is honestly such an amazing place to volunteer. Everything is incredibly structured and organized. The hosts are amazing and communicate clearly. the hostel T is definitely a more party orientated island but it also has an as big chill side too. The hostel is in between a chill and party hostel, making it extremely social. You meet the most wholesome people here. The "work" does not feel like work at all, is very short in hours and the hosts definitely understand that volunteering should be fun and not exploiting.

I absolutely loved my experience at the hostel, the manager Lexy was amazing very approachable and could tell she loves what she does and has put a lot of effort into the volunteer program to make us comfortable , the staff and other volunteers were very welcoming and always smiling and the overall energy of the hostel was fun and vibrant really felt at home here! The facilities also really good, beds super comfortable and food and cocktails were amazing and so close to the beach a beautiful location! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to volunteer I would even come back!

My second time volunteering at the hostel has been wonderful. The team and local staff feel like a family and once more I have made lots of friends from around the world. The shifts and tasks are simple and generally lots of fun. And of course, I was able to enjoy the beautiful hostel facilities and island location.

I've volunteered at both locations now at the hostel on the hostel T the hostel. My time on the hostel was a chill vibe with a good balance of partying. Lexy the manager on the hostel was great to work with. I couldn't recommend the hostel TurtIe on both of the islands enough. If you are unsure on about volunteering, the hostel TurtIe is a good place to start, they are so welcoming and just brilliant to volunteer for.

My time at the hostel has been amazing, I've volunteered here before as social butterfly and now had the chance to come back as their yoga teacher for 8 weeks. It has been so great to get teaching experience to such a wide range of guests. You teach 1 class a day and help out during the breakfast shift 6 days a week. It's really social both with the guests at the hostel and the staff who you become really close with. Love the 2 owners and especially the manager Lexy who is always on hand to help out with anything and is now a great friend, can't wait to return again soon, miss you all :)
