Working at the hostel was a great experience! We got to meet so many other travellers and get an insight into how a hostel actually runs! We helped out at the desk most days and cleaned the hostel, completely an art project, and got to use the motorbikes whenever we wanted! Highly recommend, and Francisco is super friendly, showing us around all the best local spots!!

The hostel is an amazing place to stay, socialise, embrace local culture and have a really good time doing activities and partying. Francisco is a great person who will take care of you and adapt to your needs. Together you create a wonderful bond and share many very memorable moments. The activities vary a lot from planning hot spring parties to doing waterfall hikes. The facilities are just what you need and the town is perfect to explore and have great food and drinks.

Volunteering on the farm was such a cool experience! It started out with some challenges but nothing we couldnโ€™t handle. There was a great balance of work and chill time. The host and other volunteers were so fun and we got to do so much with them that I wouldnโ€™t have been able to do otherwise. Like camping up in the mountains or going to Las Bolas de Fuego. I would recommend to anyone who likes the outdoors and doesnโ€™t mind living a little rugged.

The volunteering in the farm is super chill! You are in the middle of beautiful nature and your job is, to take care that the place stays in a good shape. To get around you get a moto for free which helps a lot and is definitely necessary (that means you should be able to drive). Francisco is a super open & friendly host and makes sure you have a good time.
The farm itself is pretty quiet. Perfect if you want to have time for yourself. You should just not be scared of spiders :)
And if you want to socialise you can go to Juayua or Santa Ana. Thanks for the volunteering!

I stayed on the farm and had a lovely time! Work consisted of weeding, cleaning, gardening, etc and was never too challenging. Since the farm stay is a 10-15 min drive from Juayua, Francisco gave the volunteers from the farm scooters :) Francisco is amazing and really makes you feel like family. In our two weeks, he took us camping, made team dinner, took us to local festivals, out to bars, etc. The farm definitely has a lot of bugs and isn't super glamorous, so do not expect the Ritz haha. Overall, I highly recommend volunteering at Rick's in Juayua or the farm!
