Ernesto is very understanding and all the work was very clear and reasonable. There were primary tasks every day like sweeping/raking/cleaning and then some miscellaneous other tasks like moving furniture mixed in to keep things interesting. They were especially understanding when I need to stay longer after losing my phone. I encourage anyone to offer other suggestions to make use of skills you have. I would recommend, return, and look forward to coming back.

The hostel property is spectacular. The owner did an amazing job designing this property. It's has natural eco design which is very soothing on the eyes. They do not use pesticides on the premises and use eco friendly shampoos that are biodegradable. They host retreats, meditation sessions, a variety of international dance classes and everything is curated with health and wellness in mind. For the amenities they have a delicious veg/vegan Turkish restaurant on site, heated pool and sauna that was not operating b/c waiting on a piece of equipment.

I had a beautiful time volunteering at the hostel and it was exactly what I needed. The location is amazing and very peaceful. Great to reconnect with one's self in a natural environment while taking care of a beautiful retreat space. Ernesto and our supervisor Fi were really welcoming and open, and also made sure we only worked according the agreed terms. The maintanance and cleaning work was meditative and fun and left enough time to discover Zipolite or Mazunte after work. Very grateful for this work experience.

The hostel is such a nice place to relax, get in touch with yourselfe and others. The hosts, volonteers and the guests respect you and there is no pressure to do something. But there are some options to participate in meditation, art workshop, … Be aware that this is an all organic place and you will really enjoy it. :)

Staying at the hostel was a lovely experience. It was very quiet and peaceful. There were not many guests while I was there, and the town was pretty quiet, but it was just what I needed after being in a big city! I loved getting to know the hosts and the other people that were living/working there. Ernesto was so kind and welcoming. We gathered to play music together a couple of times while I was there and Ernesto personally showed me around the town. It was really interesting to learn about the area and the way people live here. I feel honored to have spent a week here.

My time at the hostel was amazing! It's a beautiful paradise where you can slow down, connect with nature, and meet wonderful souls from all over the world. The volunteering work for website is well organized with clear instructions that made everything easy to follow, and I got to learn some new skills along the way. I really enjoyed my time working with Anthony & Ernesto:) Zipolite itself is pure magic with kind people and incredible energy, and I felt so welcomed both at the hostel and in the town. If you're looking for an inspiring place to volunteer and recharge, I can't recommend the hostel enough.

My experience at the hostel was great. Even though a hurricane hit during my stay, everyone went through it together, which created a strong sense of unity. The place is surrounded by nature, and the vibe is chill and comfortable. Ernesto was very kind and gave me clear cleaning tasks like sweeping and mopping. I especially enjoyed our chats. He was always friendly and easy to talk to. Through my stay, I was able to learn about a different lifestyle and reflect on our environment, which was very meaningful to me. If you're open-minded and looking to experience a nature-based lifestyle, come to the hostel!

My days in Zipolite were amazing, especially the ones I spent at the hostel. The place is beautiful, welcoming, and has a unique energy. Even though I only stayed for a few days, I felt at home and part of a family. I made meaningful connections that I'll carry with me for life. The work is light, with clear and respected schedules. Ernesto is very kind, explains everything clearly, and is always available to help. the hostel has great infrastructure and a truly inspiring life philosophy. I'm deeply grateful for the experience and highly recommend this place!
