Volunteering at the hostel was a brilliant experience and something that has made a big impression on me! Alban and his family and truly lovely people and they were fantastic hosts, helping to keep us all as comfortable as possible. I really enjoyed the farm work, seeing the before and after affects of the months work was very satisfying. Last but not least, the wider volunteer group made the trip. I made some fantastic friends at the hostel and hopefully will be back one day to see how the farm is getting on 🌴 Thanks!

This was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't have chosen a better place! The hours are flexible and the work isn't too demanding, so we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the area. We had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen, co-working spaces, and social areas with pool and other games. Alban is also an incredible host, relaxed, easy to talk to, and always open to feedback. I got to work on a special permaculture project, met amazing people, made so many fun memories, and had an experience I'll always remember. Highly recommend!

I had a great time at the Hostel! I signed up to volunteer at the farm, but because the hostel was quite busy because I went during high season, I ended up doing the majority of my work at the hostel which was fine. The work hours are fair, and Alban is always there if you have any questions. Thanks Alban! Look forward to seeing you again in the future hopefully :)
