I felt very welcomed here and had a truly familiar, almost family-like experience. All the staff were very friendly and supportive, and they always helped me whenever I needed something. The host was very kind, respectful, and accommodating, and all agreed working hours and conditions were respected. The tasks were clearly explained, and whenever I had questions or needed help, someone was always there for me. I really appreciated the supportive environment, not only regarding the work but also on a personal level.

Good things - very central location and the hours and schedule are very clear with manageable work.
Bad things - The rooms were fine but had no privacy and we were two women sharing with men which made us feel very uncomfortable especially after one night where a guy vomited everywhere and was acting wired. It says breakfast included on the website but it was not and the host treated us like employees with no pay, only speaking to us about work and being pretty unfriendly. They were difficult to contact, did not respond to our messages and weren't available to let us in when we arrived.

I couldn't be more grateful for the experience I just had, I got to meet the most incredible people because of it. The work I had to do at the reception was pretty easy and allowed me to work remotely at the same time. Bacalar is such a magical town, with lovely people, I got to see the most beautiful places there and since I had two free days a week I also had the opportunity to travel to other places. Francisco was really patient and welcoming. I would definitely come back, thank you the hostel.

The hostel Centro Hostal was an awesome place to spend a month! It was great for me to learn Spanish and exchange English with the team there! They had plenty of volunteers so I made many friends, we cooked together often or went dancing! The hostal is clean with a beautiful garden! Diego & Francisco were very welcoming and flexible with my lack of Spanish speaking! I can't recommend this place enough! As with any volunteer places there's always a thing or two to improve. Here I would say the kitchen needs and update and they can be a bit disorganized but that's ok!

It was an amazing experience. The host and the staff make you feel comfortable and they are on your side whatever you need. It is a stable business and pretty busy, thought the tasks are easy and you get a good training. You have a lot of opportunities to explore the city and the cities around as well. Gorgeous place with various activities. I definitely recommend to everyone, especially if they want to have a second family in Mexico and a joyful experience!!!

My stay at the hostel was incredible, Andres was always very kind and the tasks carried out were simple, the best part was connecting with the other people who passed through the hostel, I leave with a very nice memory and I hope to return later.

This volunteer experience was my first, and to be honest I fell in love with the hostel; it's so calm to relax and connect with oneself. Undoubtedly it is the heart of nature in the center. I had the opportunity to live with Andrés, Mary and Doña Malena; they were undoubtedly essential to making me feel at home and part of the team.
The work wasn't very heavy, and it was always carried out as agreed. Everyone was very flexible and kind; I'm really grateful to Yaxche for allowing us to help them. My best experience!
