Just spent almost two months in Cashel doing general housekeeping. The work is relaxed and simple, cleaning. bathrooms, changing bed linens, cleaning the tv room, kitchen, mopping the floors and ironing on a machine. There are three different buildings in the complex. One for the guest house, loft,, and hostel. The town is not very large but nice with lots of pubs and several supermarkets. You should be aware though that most of the people living there besides a few people in the loft are homeless. Ntapo is a great manager and if you like to play pool and listen to music, this is the place.

This was my first experience volunteering. Cashel it's a beautiful and quiet town. The work it's not too hard, just regular housekeeping and you will only work during the morning, but here are some things I'd like to point: there are "long term guests" (mostly homeless people) so it's not your regular hostel, they are nice but they can be quite loud sometimes. Also, it's really hard to keep the kitchen clean, since most of the guests don't clean after the cook. The room was fine, but there was a problem with the shower and it wasn't fixed.

Rocio was kind to the guests and co workers including me as the Manager. She was doing her job to the fullest and even ask for more tasks. She was very kind we are going to miss her. We learned history of Argentina and south America because of her. Actually she was our history teacher and gave us lessons for free. We wish her all the best.

I had a generally pleasant experience, with good communication among volunteers and a helpful manager. However, I'm not giving it 5 stars for two reasons: several guests stole food (the cameras weren't working, and no action was taken), and the manager's boss asked me to do work at his house that wasn't part of the agreement. The work at the hostel was light and enjoyable, but I suggest improving the manager's handling of requests.

Hi Manuel
Thanks very much for your review. You were a good guy to us and you helped us a lot you respected all the guests and fellow volunteers. You were excellent when coming to cleaning the bathrooms. you will always be missed. We are so sorry about your food being stolen and we will improve the security to make sure guests and volunteer property not stolen anymore.

I spent 18 days with cold water in the room and the manager didn't fix it and the light in the room was burnt out and he didn't buy a new one from the first day, the hostel was always dirty and we tidied and cleaned well every day but immediately they messed everything up, the manager is a great person and the owners we didn't see much but they seem to be calm, but I really don't recommend it because you will work until 12:00 every day and you won't be able to go out to see anything other than the city which takes you an afternoon to see everything and then you're stuck in the city because you

Unfortunately, I found my time at the guest house and the guest house quite lacking. The hostel is very dirty and has not achieved a basic level of hygiene, particularly in the kitchen. It lacks the resources to complete the job effectively and there is no set standard of cleanliness. I was placed in a room without a lock as the only girl with three older long term guests (men) who were often very drunk. When I advised management that I didn't feel safe sleeping in this room, there was no attempt to remedy the situation. Ntapo was kind but this was not enough for me to stay, I left within days.
