My stay at the host, was amazing. I had the greatest time, gaining much experience, through socializing and having a position where my host, let me have responsibility and show my own character. The manager, Maddi, was truly the best person, I could have started my volunteering journey with. Smiling, comforting and her social awareness and leadership skills, brought the best out of me. She really granted me the best possible “work” environment. I would highly recommend the host, for people coming in the high-season, who want to be responsible for getting smiles on people faces

I stayed for arpund 10 days in at the hostel and had a really nice time! I felt welcomed from the first day on and felt very safe in the hostel. Maddi, part of the Crew, Showed me around and introduced me to the Tasks. Work was easy and not long. Mostly I had to take care of the laundry, set up Dinner and Chat with the guests. The guests where all very kind and I was able to participate in gemessen, go to Partys and Events. Food coocked by deepi was always so delicious!! WiFi wasnt always the best, but you dont really need it at the place, since you find other things to do!

Era the host was flexible for the hours and a solid host. The crew for the host was really good avi and suresh were very hospitable. They were going through crew changes while we were there. Lunch and dinner were provided and the food is made well by chef suresh. Tasks are easy to do- beds, basic cleaning, social hosting and content creation.

Era and Hash were amazing hosts who made me feel right at home. This was my first time volunteering and I was a bit scared at first but it turned out to be such a fun experience. I met many like-minded people, did just a couple of hours of chores in the morning, and then had the rest of the day free to enjoy the host. The family dinners were always a highlight and created a wonderful sense of community. I'll definitely come back and will recommend it to fellow travellers! We'll meet soon Era! Thanks for all the memories.

This makes us so happy to read! You fit right into the vibe here from day one and it was such a pleasure having you around. We’re so glad your first volunteering experience turned out to be a good one (and that family dinners got a special mention 😋). Thanks for all the good energy you brought — the place already misses you! Can’t wait to see you back in Hiri, you’ve always got a home here with us.Ciao for now, Jabez!

I had a great time!! the place is beautiful, I did not have a fixed day free in particular but the work to be done was not many, or at least they were manageable in autonomy. Era was a super host. He'll always be there if you need anything! The only thing he could improve on is his meal time management.

You’ll always be welcome here anytime! A dopo Eddie!
