We were happy to have Janick here as a volunteer. He is definitely a "handy-man" and knows how to do the things the correct way. He was doing what we told him to do. Was a pleasure to meet you :-) Enjoy the rest of your trip and thank you again very much!

It was a super nice and relaxed time. It's super fun to stay there and explore the city and the beach with the bikes from the hostel. It's clean and you feel really welcome there.

As my first experience as a volunteer, I really enjoyed it here. It's a small hostel which makes it a very nice stay and easy to meet new people. I very appreciate the time I spend here and I definitely learned a lot in this few weeks. Also it was always nice to hear the feedback of the people staying there ! thanks for the awesome time
