My stay at the hostel was a great experience. The facilities are good, and improving day by day but it is really the people that make the place special. I got so lucky during my stay with the great volunteers and wonderful staff. Everyone makes you feel so welcome right away, within two days it feels like you have been there your whole life- which makes it very hard to leave! Definitely recommend:))

My boyfriend and I volunteered here as party promoters and unfortunately we had to leave after 4 days. All the volunteers and local Thai staff were so lovely, but the boss, Ema was highly disrespectful and arrogant. Duties and job responsibilities were not properly discussed and she barks orders at the staff. My boyfriend asked her to please speak kinder and her response was “leave my property”. Super bummed about this experience, highly do not recommend working here or honestly staying here. It is run down and moldy, all they are doing to “clean” is painting the walls and covering the ground

This review is extremely one-sided. During your four days here, your boyfriend barely contributed to his shifts. I simply asked him, five minutes before the end of his shift, to empty the ashtrays, straighten a few tables and complete a basic handover. Instead, he chose to lecture me about my tone whitch was very nice. The duties and benefits were clearly explained beforehand. Enjoying free accommodation and parties was apparently much easier than fulfilling basic responsibilities.

My experience had both positive and negative aspects, but I decided to leave early due to the negatives.
Positives: meeting people from different countries, making friends, discounts on scooter rental, drinks and some free parties.
Negatives: poor organization (which affected my online work), breakfast was removed after arrival, my food disappeared twice without clear explanation, and I felt uncomfortable with how some volunteers were treated.
I left and activated the Worldpackers insurance. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this place.

My experience at this hostel was different from what I expected. At times, communication with the team was difficult, and I noticed a lack of clear alignment with volunteers. The initial agreement changed during my stay and was not always communicated in advance, with some points not being followed. The organization of tasks and schedules was often improvised, with last-minute changes, which can be challenging for those balancing volunteer work with online jobs. Overall, my experience was not good.
I do not recommend this place.

I highly recommend it to everyone! The hostel gave me amazing experiences. It's a party hostel that shows you how to be yourself, make friends, have great moments, go to the best parties, and relax like a family. Also, the shift is pretty good, creating a nice balance between responsibilities and free time. The bedrooms are comfortable. They have a kitchen, but it's better to buy Thai food because it's very cheap. Just remember, it's a PARTY HOSTEL, so it's full of energy the whole time.

This was the longest volunteer hostel I've ever stayed in, and it was wonderful to be part of this community. It had a wonderful family atmosphere, and I felt free and comfortable using the common areas. Edgar helped us all in every way. Thank you for everything.

Nalan was a wonderful volunteer, always smiling, kind, positive, and easy to work with. She brought a calm and happy energy to the team and got along with everyone effortlessly. She respected the rules, helped whenever needed especially at reception and behind the bar, and made the hostel feel even more welcoming. We were really happy to have her with us and wish her all the best on her next travels!

This place was one of the best experiences in my life. The Island is so cool and the hostel attracts a very beautiful crowd. Its like a home away from home. Thank you Edgar for the opportunity ❤️ Hours are fair and tasks are easy to understand! You definitly need a scooter to get around but other than that the island is perfect :)

It was my first volunteering experience. And my first time in a hostel ever actually. And I'm so happy and thankful that it happened at the hostel. I love this place, it's atmosphere and people - they are amazing - managers, staff, volunteers, guests! And I really wanna thank everyone, you are wonderful 🩷 Accommodation is also very good. Rooms a comfy enough, I slept like a baby haha Tasks are well organized as well and everything felt smooth and clear. So have no doubts about this place, you will love it as I did! P. S. Special hugs & kisses to Cookie and Kiko 🐱🐶

This was my first time volunteering and it was truly amazing! The tasks were simple and easy to understand, which made everything super easy to manage. I met so many amazing people and made some really special friendships along the way. The staff, and other volunteers were all so kind and welcoming, it really felt like a little family. I had the best time and it's definitely an experience I'll always remember!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
