iguana hostel Oaxaca
Iguana hostel Oaxaca is a communal hostel where we try to provide our guests a space to experience and explore Oaxaca in their own way and time with the help of our knowledge. We have been working with volunteers for over 8 years and have found they exchange to be a fantastic way for us, our staff and our guests to provide personal and unique experiences.
before starting Iguana hostel I was travelling Latin America for 6 years, working, volunteering and managing various hostels, tour companies and restaurants. Iguana is a combination of my experiences and the experiences of each and every person who has spent time with us and helped us get to the present day. Sometime I am more involved and sometime I have other things I need to attend to but ever part of the hostel is something we have built to try to make our volunteers and guests stays better.

About the experience in: Oaxaca, Mexico
United Kingdom
I had a great time at the hostel! All the other volunteers and staff were lovely company and Antony was always very quick to respond to any doubts or concerns. The work is fairly simple: checking guests in and out, keeping the common spaces tidy, changing bed sheets, and occasionally helping to cover the bar. Oaxaca is a vibrant, lively city with lots to offer and the volunteer shift pattern gives you more than enough down time to explore. Would definitely recommend, thanks for having me!

My stay at this hostel couldn't be better, the city is beautiful full of art, colors and incredible food, I met so many cool people and I made really good friends that I cant wait to see them again. The staff was really organized and they were all the nicest people I had a nice bond with each of them, and also all of the volunteers were so nice and helpful all the time that's how I met my bestie. The schedule is great you have kinda like a long shift but after you have plenty of time to do whatever you want even to go to the beach, San Jose del Pacifico and nearby towns, ty sm ft opportunity.

Volunteering at the hostel was a great first volunteer job - they set the bar very high for my next volunteer work moving forward. Anna, and the team at the hostel were so incredibly welcoming and supportive when it came to the job and expectations. The hostel creates a great community for the volunteers and the guests. The schedule was great, giving plenty of time to explore the city and surrounding towns. What a great experience.
