The Experience

As our receptionist, you are the first person that has contact with the guests once they arrive in the hostel and who handles the administration such as reservations, check ins, check outs, tours, shuttles and help our guests with their questions during their stay. Most of our staff does not speak English (yet), so we often help each other with translating between Spanish and English, which makes this a great opportunity to improve your Spanish.

I was a bit sceptic about volunteering for the hostel because of the previous reviews, so I decided to first visit the hostel as a tourist, so I could decide there if I feel the place or not. Actually I immediately fell in love with the place and the people. The hostel is beautiful, the employees became my friends, I improved my Spanish a lot and I even learned some Mayan. The new management always thought along with me and put me in a position within the organization where I felt most comfortable and they always kept their agreements. Big thanks to my Greengo family for this amazing experience!

I do not recommend this experience because the host did not keep to the agreement on the meals offered, so I felt my health was compromised and I even lost 2kg in one week! When I informed them that I would leave early, the hosts wanted to charge me for all the food and that was not agreed. I also suggest that you do not collect documentation from any foreigners because I had to call the police to get my documents back and it was a very embarrassing situation. It was not a good experience."

The hostel is a beautiful place, but really far away from everything. If you decide to come here be aware is not much to do around. Travelers only stay max 2 nights so is not the best place to meet people from other places, but I was able to know the locals and learn a little bit of the culture. The employees work under a lot of pressure and stress, sometimes is not a really positive place to work. The food is amazing! I have my 3 meals everyday. They should have rooms for volunteers. The power is from 6:30 am to 12 pm and from 4pm to 12am, wifi sucks, only works sometime which is terrible

I worked at the hostel for nearly 6 weeks as the entertainment coordinator / bar staff , although there were some rearranges to staff while I was there, I found the owners to be fair and appreciative of hard work. I was able to gain experience in the bar which I had not previously had as well as practice Spanish via the spanish speaking staff. I found my hours to fair and flexible, basically my manager would ask me what my plan was for the day, I would analyze the amount of guests and what they wanted to do in regards to possible activities.
