While I was there, I mostly designed flyers etc. for their new hotel. The reception desk was very easy to work at, and it wasn't crowded because it was low season. They have a rooftop with a beautiful view, it was nice to spend time there.

Linda has a huge heart, so caring. The hostel is really nice, when I was there there was not many people because of low season so was very quiet. So grateful for the experience 🩷

I enjoyed my time volunteering at the hostel on the reception, the host Linda and her daughter Alice were very kind, as were the other staff. The accommodation at the hostel was also pretty comfortable.
