I had a really great time at the hostel. The place was nice, the tasks weren't that difficult and I learned a lot of new things. I met a lot of amazing people there, especially, of course, the other volunteers, with whom I shared happy and meaningful moments. Fergal, the manager, was really nice and chill, he always had a good story to tell and was always there to help me and the team. I'm very grateful for this opportunity. Thanks a million, BL Team, cheers ;)

My experience at the hostel was an amazing 4 weeks! The work was just as described on Worldpackers, making beds and cleaning in the morning and checking in guests in the afternoon/ evening. The surrounding area of Connemara was very beautiful with a lake that is easily accessible from the hostel. There are hiking routes that start at the hostel as well. I also worked with an amazing group of people from all over the world that that I'm happy to call my friends. I highly recommend volunteering at the hostel!

Volunteering here was amazing. The hostel is at a very peaceful location and has a nice cozy atmosphere. There was a couple of different daily tasks to be done, so remembering small details from each of them was a bit confusing at first (especially as it was my first volunteering job in a hostel). However, support was always offered so it never felt overwhelming. Fergal, the manager, was super kind and welcoming, and the other volunteers quickly became great friends. I'm very grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to spend some time in the countryside.

Staying at the Hostel has been one of the best experiences I've ever had, the welcoming was very warm and after just a few days the place already felt like home. The location is stunning and there are a lot of activities to do in the area, and we also had a bike at our disposal, which made things even easier. The best thing about this experience has been meeting amazing people from all over the world that made the work feel like playing. The working hours were pretty light and never more than agreed and the manager, Fergal, has always been very kind and careful that we enjoy our stay the most.

I had such an amazing time volunteering here, I didn't want the month to end. The work is easy and not too much, the location is absolutely beautiful and the host is very nice and will always try to help if there is a problem. I worked and lived with many amazing volunteers from all over the world and it was a lot of fun to be apart of that team. There are plenty of fun things to do in your free time, though of course those who love hiking + being out in nature will have more fun as it is very remote. I learnt a lot and if there is ever an opportunity would 100% do it again. Heavily recommend!

Working at the hostel as a team of six was a lot of fun!From the first day on everybody was welcoming and helpful, so in the end I had a second little family (with Fergal as our understanding an storytelling uncle). He really gives every volunteer the opportunity to have a good time and explore as much of Connemara as you want. The work was just as describes and very reasonable. This hostel is a good place to meet people from all over the world, travelling in a lot of different ways. I am gonna miss all the funny laughters, game-nights (thanks PJ)and barbecues we've had! Thank you BL-Team!

Fue mi primer voluntariado en el hostel y sin pensarlo volvería. Fergal y Donna son personas muy amables, preocupadaa y pacientes con las barreras del idioma. El trabajo no es pesado y siempre trabajamos en equipo. Además el lugar es muy bello, tiene una atmósfera natural increíble y puedes desconectarte del mundo si lo deseas. Gracias a la confianza entregada por el equipo pude mejorar mi inglés y compartir experiencias con el equipo y con viajeros del hostel. Sin duda me sentí en casa.

Fue mi primer primera experiencia en worldpacker y realmente estuvo increíble. El trabajo no era pesado, tareas de recepción y limpieza dentro del hostal. Fergal y Dona son personas realmente amorosas y dispuestas ayudar. Realmente me hicieron sentir parte de una gran familia, volvería aplicar sin dudar a este lugar maravilloso ❤

If your looking for a nice experience this is a really good one. The enviroment of the hostel is really cool and the manager - Fergal, he is a really nice guy and he understands the concept of volunteer work perfectly. He always helps volunteers with schedules and makes sure their exchange is fun. Hours worked are exactly as agreed. This experience provides an immense contact with nature, culture and guests. Thank you the hostel!!

Fergal was very accommodating when we had staffing difficulties and overall helped us out a lot when we needed to get to town for food, took us on excursions, etc.! I will say that even with all the volunteers, we were working check in much over our 5 hours and I think that, overall, housing and breakfast wasn't enough compensation for the work done. The place is absolutely stunning with a beautiful lake that you can swim in, so if a schedule was created for volunteers next year, I would recommend!
