I really enjoy my time in the hostel. It was a great experience and so nice to meet everyone on the team. I really recommend this Volonteering, especially if you like to be surrounded people or to party. The beach is also stunning and the hostel super chill.

My time at the hostel and working with Jonny, Conner, Seth and all the other volunteers was an unforgettable experience. We were well taken care of with 2 meals provided and an easy schedule. Even when some of us had personal trouble we were given support. This was the perfect place to be in a chill, paradise like environment, that gives you the opportunity to explore the hostel. Also some wild parties. So if you can handle your drink I think there's a good balance at the hostel. I'm extremely grateful to have worked here and with the boys. Thank you for everything

My two week stay at the hostel was mostly positive!! Working behind the bar was fun and really easy. The other volunteers were really lovely and at least two people worked at a time. The shifts are quite long but you are very flexible in choosing a shift that is good for you. The food was amazing! Veggie options and mostly big portions:) The volunteers sleep in a wooden hut with fan and mosquito net, which I really didn't mind :) Critique: I didn't really feel an exchange/good communication with the owner, sometimes weird comments about doing something wrong etc made me feel unwelcomed!
