About the experience in: Gili Trawangan, Indonesia
United States
Great experience if you like to go out and party it's amaze you got to this club called jungle every night and pass out drinks and dance on the tables and just get everyone excited and ready to party! You are located more inland but like a 7 minute walk to the beach and about 15 -18 minutes from the harbor. I would just say do more research on the gilli t island itself there is not much ac around besides your bedroom and certain stores! But overall great first world packers experience!

I had such an amazing experience volunteering here! From day one, everyone made me feel so welcome and included. The team is incredibly kind, supportive, and fun to be around. The atmosphere is very social, making it so easy to meet people from all over the world. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, and having breakfast included every morning was a huge bonus. I would 100% recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a fun and welcoming volunteering experience. Thank you for everything! 🫶🏻🤍

I really enjoyed my two weeks there as a party promoter volunteer. The team is extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home from day one. They genuinely care about how things are going and are always available if there's any issue or question. Everything was well organized, and I always felt supported and safe in what I was doing. It was also a great way to meet people from all over the world and be part of a really fun and social environment. I'm very grateful for the experience and all of the memories I made there. Highly recommend it!!!

I would not recommend volunteering here unless you are a HEAVY drinker and party animal. I was told it was fine not to drink as long as I was social and I fulfilled my given duties, including leading games, dancing at the club, and making genuine friendships with guests. Despite this, I didn’t “party enough.” There was also pressure to go beyond role expectations and stay late at the club after already working 35 hours/week. I ultimately felt the role prioritized fitting a specific social culture over performance and being a genuine person.
