The social volunteer role was super fun. I really enjoyed getting the guests and volunteers together for the weekly activities. The hostel itself is great in a fantastic location. The perks of a free stay in a hostel in the mountains plus discounted surf lessons were a bonus!

I can't explain how grateful I am for this volunteering experience at the hostel. I had the best time and was really lucky with the amazing group I spent the month with, I wouldn't change a thing! The only small downside is that there are cockroaches, but the hostel is actively working on solving this issue. Apart from that, I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much for the wonderful time I could spend here and to all the volunteers, I truly had the best experience! 💗 thank you

My stay at the hostel was incredible from start to finish. I met amazing people, made memories I'll never forget, and the atmosphere was always full of good vibes. With the other volunteers, it honestly felt like one big family, and the work was totally fine, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the island. the hostel is super cool, and at night the hostel bar was the perfect start to unforgettable nights. The island is beautiful and theres something for everyone Thanks for the unforgettable time!! I'd recommend this place to anyone 🌞🌴
