Mr the hostel was a crazy good time and all the tasks are perfect for meeting new people each week. The schedule is straight forward and they are very generous with the time off. There were a couple negative experiences with management but for the most part they do well and keep things fun, positive and understanding. It is a bit of a tourist bubble but if you love to the hostel and meet fellow travelers this is a great place to volunteer. Just make sure to pace yourself so you can make it the whole month 😉

Amazing experience! I really can't say anything bad about the host or the time i spent there. Everyone was welcoming, lots of fun, lots of parties and many things around to do at the lake

Staying at Mr the hostel has been one of the most memorable experiences ever! The staff is not only incredibly funny and relaxed, but they also go above and beyond to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. One of the things that impressed us the most was their flexibility and understanding when it came to agreed times and unexpected situations. When my friend and I encountered an issue with our flights home and needed to extend our stay, they were quick to assist us without any hesitation. The atmosphere here truly fosters a sense of family, where everyone looks out for each other.

I had a great time at the hostel! I was bartending and helping with events. The staff were super welcoming and I loved hanging out with the other volunteers. I was definitely burnt out after 4 weeks of partying. However, we get to stay at other hostels for free so I got to visit other areas on the lake and el paredon. The boat parties are always a great time and I will miss Dobby the dog and Bread the cat. Thanks for a fun month the hostel!

My experience at Mr the hostel has been so amazing, I've made the best of friends and have had so much fun. The work is good and the managers and owners really care about you and your experience here. Lake Atitlan is so beautiful and the hostel is in a great location, near the bars and restaurants. You can visit the other towns and stay for free at the sister hostels which is fab. If you like to the hostel, want to make new friends and want a new place to feel like home for a while then I couldn't recommend the hostel enough! You won't regret :)

My experience at the hostel was fantastic. The other volunteers were so much fun, the guests were great, and the staff, managers and owners really cared about us and made sure we were having a great time. I showed up with basically no bartending experience, but other volunteers were happy to teach me and help me out. The hours are great, the work is fun, and they'll do their best to give you your preferred shifts. It's a great place to the hostel, or just to hang out around the lake, meet friends and see the town. Thanks for the memories guys, I'll be back one day!

The team is truly amazing and the vibe is great. It's more a place for like a the hostel mood and meet travellers around the world. If you are fine with that, then this is perfect for you. However if you wanna meet locals and learn Spanish then this might not be the correct place.

Living here was literally traumatizing. the staff was beyond clicky and rude, the guests even though backpackers were entitledddd and douchey. This is not no normal the hostel.. it's hard drugs, heavy drinking and debauchery. Rafeek was chill , the work was easy even though shifts are 8 hours and the boat the hostel was 👌🏾 but other than that….
