I had the most amazing time here at the hostel. Although its name days the hostel, I found life long friends and dare I say, family here. The place is truly a gem and is dreamily beautiful. However, it is the people who truly make this place shine. Dave and Deedle have created an amazing place that must be respected and treasured. The managers were honestly the best I've ever encountered and the volunteers are truly special. The food, activities, and overall vibe are surreal to experience and you hear this often, but this place is the best volunteer experience I've ever had. Thank you the hostel!

I've been volunteering at the hostel for 1.5 months, and it's been incredible! The atmosphere is warm and communal, with nightly dinners that bring everyone together. The staff is welcoming, the location right on Lake Atitlán is unbeatable, and the sunsets are magical. There's a dive shop on-site, great for exploring the lake's underwater world. If you're looking for a place that will genuinely feel like a home away from home and to connect with the people and communities around the lake I highly recommend volunteering here!!
