Loved our little volunteer n staff family at the hostel! the place is nestled at the best spot in the island - it's calm, away from the craziness of the pier (but also a 5 min walk to there), and close to nest for all the parties. the food is delicious, the pets are adorable and the whole team is super friendly and loving. can't think of a better place to volunteer at on the island!

I could not recommend volunteering at the hostel more highly! This was my first volunteer experience and it has set an incredibly high standard. Seth and Johanny are so welcoming and I felt like part of the team from the first day. Hours are fair and shifts are sorted between volunteers to accommodate your plans for the day. There is flexibility to ensure you have time to enjoy the island.

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.
