I only have good words to talk about this place. The staff is really welcoming and open to help. They even hung out with us sometimes (pub, playing music, for dinner, doing meditation…) which really created a sense of community. Regarding the work, the hours are always respected and the tasks are super clear, plus is a lot of team work so it never gets super tiring. The place is gorgeous, and you can spend time with the volunteers in the lake, river, hikes… but also in the comfy common areas. The hostel is now a second home to me and in really grateful for everyone I met <3

My stay at the hostel was amazing! The people, both working at the hostel and the other volunteers were super lovely and friendly. Definitely a place to go if you want a community of other volunteers to meet! And the location couldn't be better in the national park for hikes and beautiful views.

I had the most amazing month in the hostel! I really recommend living this experience if you are looking for a slow-life kind of vibe with stunning surroundings and hikes. The work is easy, just some cleaning the common areas and house-keeping... But you also get two days off per week and most times you can ask to have them together and spend the night somewhere else like Dublin or Galway. The staff is really nice, always willing to help you if you need anything and the other volunteers where amazing, I will never forget everyone who made this experience unique! PS Loved the pub :)

The overall experience at the hostel was fantastic. The workload was manageable and the staff were welcoming and helpful at every given opportunity. The area in which the hostel is located is perfect for those wishing to hike and explore the Wicklow mountains during their time off. The other volunteers were a fantastic group who made the experience much more enjoyable. Thankyou to Eugenio and Rossio for making this experience one I will remember.

Volunteering at the hostel was such an amazing experience! Eugenio is a very flexible, friendly, and supportive host. The staff at reception are so kind, and I loved getting to know the other volunteers. It's a very inclusive atmosphere and I truly felt comfortable here. The work is very manageable, especially in the winter as it is offseason. There was lots of time to do hikes in the surrounding area (so beautiful and endless new routes!), have movie nights, bake, visit the pub or cafe nearby, and more. If you get the chance, you should definitely come to the hostel!
