I stayed at the hostel for two weeks, and it truly felt like home! I met incredible people. The work was easy and flexible, giving me plenty of free time to explore and enjoy the city. Lucky, the host, is friendly and always willing to help. This hostel is perfect for socializing and meeting travelers from all over the world. There are always fun evening activities, bringing volunteers and guests together to create unforgettable memories. I had an amazing time and would highly recommend it.

I did stay in the hostel Backpackers Hostel for 1 month and 3 days, it was a great experience. The host ''Lucky'' was so friendly and helpful from the beginning to end and he was explaining every details. We become like a family with other volunteers as well and we were doing nice activities together almost every day, such as ordering food to the hostel or go out together, party on Saturday night and so on. The job was mostly doing shift in the reception for 6 hour for 3 days of week so I had plenty of time to discover the area which was perfect. I definitely recommend this volunteer job!! :)

I would recommend volunteering at the hostel. I felt welcome, there are some activities volunteers and guests can do together almost every day. The work wasn't really hard, there was not that many guests at that time so it was quite chill. Unawatuna is a nice town, there's a nice beach for beginner surfers, Turtle beach, some nice Cafés and bars but also local restaurants. The host is nice and friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience.
