I had a truly amazing time at the hostel. Everything was very well organised: the shift plan was always shared a week in advance, the working hours matched the agreement and the work itself was quite easy. Paul, the manager, is super nice and always there to help. The other volunteers were also really friendly and we bonded a lot. The hostel itself was amazing too, with its great location next to the beach, where you can surf, the rooftop and more. I also really enjoyed visiting the eco-farm, and Paul even organised a team activity for us. Thanks for everything!!!

I spent 5 weeks in the hostel and this hostel became a place full of beautiful memories, genuine connections and people who, in such a short time, started feeling like family. The tasks included cleaning, preparing rooms, helping with reception and taking care of guests and verything was well organised, with clear schedules and respect for working hours, which made the experience pleasant and allowed us to enjoy our free time as well. As my first volunteering experience, I would recommend this hostel to anyone, it is the perfect place to start I will carry everyone in my heart, thank u❤️

This is my first Worldpackers experience and it was absolutely worth it. Everything at the hostel was very well organized and the tasks were always clearly communicated. The 25h work week is manageable and I got to travel around the beautiful island on my days off. Sometimes shifts can get quite hectic too so on some days I would just rest or enjoy the beach after work. Paul is the best manager you can expect. He makes himself very available to the team and always willing to help. I also met amazing volunteers and guests during the experience and made some great memories.❤️

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The working hours are respected and give you plenty of free time to explore the island, learn how to surf or simply relax and enjoy the surroundings. Paul, the manager, is always very helpful and available whenever you need something. He really cares about the hostel, the guests and the volunteers, and does his best to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. I met so many people from different parts of the world and shared some really nice moments with them. Three weeks went by way too quickly! I'm leaving with so many beautiful memories.
