I HAD ONE OF THE BEST VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCES HERE !! The twins are running such a great place, they made me feel so welcome and part of the family from day one, it was actually hard to leave here. The work is light, helping out in the mornings cleaning, welcoming guests and also there's some fun tasks to help with like painting, fixing bits, building things, whatever they need help with. They are flexible with the work and the food is also DELICIOUS. They will took me to all the best places, local snack shops and I met so many beautiful people at my time. Thank you the hostel !

Please check my full 5 star Google Maps review with photos. Personally I would give 10 stars if I could! This review is just tips for us volunteers ;) 1) The work hours are early from 6am - midday so if you need more sleep get to bed earlier. Then you have lots of time during the day to explore! 2) Akka cooks unbelievable food, but just breakfast and lunch. If you want to save extra money and do intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast, the food can be your lunch and dinner as well. 3) When I did my early chores quickly the twins let me go to the rooftop for yoga and meditation.
