It was my first volunteering experience and I had a lot of fun. I was able to do activities like surfing, being in contact with nature, relaxing, and appreciating the beautiful place. I also got to visit nearby villages and spend time with local people. The work is not complicated and allows you to have a lot of free time. My English isn't very good, and Ally made me feel welcome and made sure everything was fine. Paco and Griffin are also very nice. I will miss the delicious pizzas. 😋

I am so grateful for this experience!! I loved teaching yoga to the guests and appreciated the freedom I had with creating the classes. The housekeeping and cleaning work is very reasonable, leaving lots of time to explore the beautiful area, surf, connect with the other volunteers, and relax. Thank you so much Ally for organizing this opportunity, and thank you Paco and Griffin for all the work you do! 🤍🏄‍♀️🌊

This experience was incredible in every way :) the location was pretty rural but once I got there I had zero regrets! Amazing views and even better people. There's so much down time between working for activities like surfing, hiking, reading a book or even going to the nearest town for coffee by hitchhiking. Everything about this experience was unreal I highly recommend it to everyone!

I stayed 1 Month @ the hotel and it was truly amazing! The nature is beautiful and I had plenty of time for other activities outside of work. :) To get to Louisburgh (the next town) you have to hitchhike, wich was such a cool experience to meet locals. I can just recommend staying here, the team takes great care and the nature is amazing.

Bigstyle is a great place to enjoy nature and get to know the countryside of Ireland. Everyone in the lodge was very kind, welcoming and ready to help. I feel the experience depends a lot on the weather and the other volunteers. The weather determines if you can go outside, surfing or on trips. It is very remote and you have to hitchhike to the closest cities. You get food on the weekends(it is amazing), but no breakfast during the week(should be corrected on the profile). The room for the volunteers isn't very welcoming but these are the only negative things I can find. Cool place & people!

Before coming to Bigstyle I was reading all the reviews, from previous volunteers, and I could not believe that this experience was that good. However, it was even better!!! First of all, thank you to the amazing staff, that made us feel like home, I only have good words for all of them. All the people that we met were amazing and were always trying to help you. The chores were really easy, so that we had a lot of free time to surf. Moreover, the environment surrounding the lodge is extremely beautiful. I will always recommend it to anyone who is looking forward to surf, you won't regret it!!

I had such an amazing time at the lodge!! Ally and Griffin are lovely and super nice managers, always listening and the tasks were very clear and fun to do. The place is just beautiful, it's great if you want to surf and enjoy the nature! It's very remote so it's important to plan your trip there ;)

Es una experiencia increíble. No tienes que trabajar más de lo que indican y el trato es inmejorable ya que están ahí para resolver cualquier duda que tengas y si quieres mejorar en el surf recibes infinidad de consejos de los monitores que saben mucho. Cuentan contigo para todo y te consultan las cosas buscando que estés lo más cómodo posible. Tienes a tu disposición todo el material (tablas, neoprenos, sauna...) y puedes hacer varias actividades como surf, rutas, dar paseos...

Volunteering at the hotel has been so far one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Everything from the beginnig till the end was simply perfect and if I would try to find something I did not like about this experience, I would not find anything, honestly. Everyone who works at the lodge is simply amazing, I felt welcomed from the day one and everyone from the staff is always trying to make you feel comfortable and appreciated. I could not recommend enough this volunteering experience. I loved every single second of this experience and I hope to be back soon!

Spectacular spot!! Such an incredible experience surrounded by beaches, hikes, and all the sheep! Kenji is the cutest kid around, lots of energy to keep you on your toes!! Tons of fun events, the most amazing volunteers, you just really have to take the initiative to get out and do things .. access to surfboards and the sauna are great perks :) Must know … there is no public transportation, and you are pretty isolated from town, food, and shops. Without a car, you rely on hitching, walking or asking for a ride if it works for the workers! Great time :) !!!
