The hostel was one of the best volunteering experiences I've had. I would especially highlight the conditions offered to volunteers, particularly the food and the activities available. You are right on the shore of Lake Atitlán, surrounded by an incredible natural environment. The tasks are relatively simple and manageable, while still giving you the opportunity to interact with guests and meet people from all over the world. The location itself makes the experience even more special, with plenty of activities and beautiful places to explore during your free time.

My time at the hostel was absolutely incredible. I felt so welcomed here and it truly feels like home now. Everyone I worked with and met were so friendly, welcoming, and fun. The managers are so kind and helpful, look out for you, and are there to help always. I had such a good group of volunteers who quickly became lifelong friends and truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I wish I could have extended my stay <3 The work is also fun and although there is lots of information and moving pieces it is well explained and not difficult to learn. 10/10 would recommend

My time at the hostel was amazing! The work was fun and not difficult- managers and other volunteers were always there to help when you needed it. Staff and guests are very social, it's in an amazing location, and the benefits are great- all three meals, yoga classes, hikes, and discounts on so much more. I truly enjoyed every shift. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! The work is easy and enjoyable, with plenty of free time to explore! Lake Atitlán is such a magical place even in the rainy season, and the hostel itself is beautiful. The room I stayed in was comfortable, we had 3 free and homemade meals a day and we also got lots of discounts on food, drinks, and activities. The other volunteers made the experience unforgettable, and the managers were always flexible and tried to accommodate everyone's schedules. I'd definitely recommend volunteering here :)

My time at the hostel has been unforgettable, the people here are amazing and it truly is a home away from home that i can see myself coming back to. The food is great, the shifts are very straightforward and there is always something to do outside of work, wether you want to go for a swim at the dock, catch a boat to another town or just hang around the hostel. The management team are very good at what they do and always available to help. Always felt very supported! Highly reccomend this volunteer experience
