My stay en the hostel really was a great experience. The hosts are really nice and welcoming. Its allows me to connect with the others volunteers and with travelers from all over the world. The working time is good because shifts are in the morning or in the evening, so you also have the time to discover the town. And I really like the atmosphere of the hostel, you can easily socialize with everyone, even the guests.

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The host and the people there were all so nice and I never felt lonely! The tasks were super easy and if I wanted to change shifts or the free days I could always talk to the managers to make it happen! I made friends for life there and I can't wait to come back and dance bachata again. Big recommendation!

If you're thinking of volunteering here, absolutely do it! The team, Miguel, Diego and Aldo were all so friendly, funny and welcoming, along with all the volunteers. The volunteering part it straightforward with either being given the reception or bar to work one. You're either on the morning shift or the afternoon shift. It's a small hostel so everyone knows everyone and socialises together which is great to have. There is much upcoming for this hostel such as a new cafe on the site and outdoor improvements, which will help as this hostel has insight for such big potential!

My experience here as a volunteer was amazing, the hostel is very close to the beach, in a quiet area but also near plenty of places to go out, the tasks were simple and easy to do, which gave me time to enjoy and explore Puerto Escondido. The vibe is super chill and everyone treats you like family, thank you the hostel ⭐️
