I highly recommend volunteering at Roatan backpackers hostel. The tasks asked of you are simple and light for three hours a day . The room offered to stay in is neat and cozy I felt very comfortable here. Her two sons and the staff are very welcoming, helpful and kindhearted people, they are family to me! If you want to immerse yourself into the community and culture of roatan this is the place. Volunteering goes beyond the hostel if you choose to ,with beach clean ups and other tasks on the island! To be honest I had a tear in my eye when I left. Ill be back and you all will be missed

I had to leave for personal reasons, but I wish I got to stay longer! It was a laidback volunteer work, with clear instructions and tasks. The hostel was fairly quiet and fit for a calmer lifestyle; there were places to go out and party if that is also your vibe. Definetly a good experience. I would totally come back or recommend this to someone.

I really enjoyed my time in Roatan, the beaches were wonderful and getting around the island is really easy and cheap. I like the hostel was near locals, food places, and a grocery store. I would recommend bring the best bug spray as the mosquitos are vicious. Belkis, and Kiara were a lot of help and showing me what to do and helping me practice my spanish. The only thing I would've wish for is that i got off earlier in the day as the sun set at 5 and sometimes i didn't get done until after 1 or 2 so it didn't leave me much time to explore or hangout with others as most things happen in AM

If you want a chill, island experience, this hostel is for you. All the amenities are very close.
Hostel Work: It is housekeeping. Cleaning rooms. Making beds. Cleaning bathrooms. Guests rarely stay very long. So, the spaces are rarely very dirty. I found the work meditative. Sometimes, I painted.
Hostel team: The owner, Mel was away during much of my time here. Belkis works really hard. Although, she wasn't particularly warm and friendly, she was efficient and always made sure I knew what was expected of me. Mel was respectful.

Simply amazing. Not to close from West End but not to far, transport is very easy to catch. The location gives it a peace and quiet. Shortly said the location is magnificent. The hostel itself has everything needed for a great stay. Kitchen with all the necessities, comfortable beds, and a staff and owner that have the knowhow of the island and activities. For relaxing moments is the pool definitly a recommendation.
