I had the absolute best time at the host! It's such a peaceful place, super chill vibes all around. The dogs actually look out for you and are just the sweetest companions. David and Azmi r amazing! They r kind, and always made sure everyone feels welcome. David also always brings us food and we all prepare meals with the other volunteers. He even takes volunteers to see the bioluminescent planktons at night!! 🌌 and taught us how to fish as well. I learned so many new things, met such great people, and made amazing memories I'll never forget. If I could stay longer, I would. 🤎

Staying at the host was such a special experience! Surrounded by peaceful nature, we loved helping out and spending time with the six sweetest dogs. We cooked together like a family, and David even taught us how to fish, we absolutely love him for that! It's the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy the simple things in life. We came all the way from Spain for this and it was totally worth it. Thank you for everything David! We Will never forget it, 100% recommended!

I stayed around 2 month total in the host Bar. It's important to say that it only suits to people willing to live a simple life. If you feel this way you will love the place, learn many things with David and Azmi (cooking, fishing). You will also enjoy community time out of civilisation with limited electricity and internet which is deeply relaxing. You also have a plenty of free time in which you can do some sport, hiking, going back to the city or just relax on the beach or in the hippie style the host. Life changing experience with amazing people, I highly recommend!

Spent almost two weeks here and absolutely loved it! The place is very simple but beautiful and not having internet really allows you to disconnect. Also the dogs are super cute

This was one of the coolest & most authentic local experience I have!! This is living the simple happy life —tent, limited signal,limited electricity,waking up to the sounds of waves,learning how to cut coconut & fishing, & everyone cooking meals together🫶🫶 I felt like I had a new family haha The work is chill, cleaning mostly in the morning & we rarely had customers. You have a lot of free time to do kayaking, fishing, reading a book, trekking, & even just sleep at the hammok. David is absolutely AWESOME & he really tales care of us. I'd love to come back!Thank you David & Azmi!

I had an amazing time at the host, I miss it so much already! My boyfriend and I stayed for a week and it was a very fun time. The work is very straight forward and is mostly just serving customers drinks, cleaning up the area, helping to take care of the dogs, and cutting coconuts. There is a kitchen where you can cook for yourself and David provided us with lots of food to cook with and brought dinner at night. We got to see bioluminescent plankton at night with the kayak which is something I'll never forget. If you want to disconnect from your phone, meet people, and chill out come here
