My partner Estha and myself have just finished 5 amazing weeks at the hostel. This place is absolutely incredible. The tranquil space, the beautiful events every night, the incredible staff, the owners Fabi & Jaims have created THE best hostel we have ever been too supported by the amazing manager Kristel. We truely felt like apart of the family here and will carry these memories for the rest of our lives. Anyone looking to volunteer here will leave a piece of their heart as we have ours.

One of the best volunteerings I have ever done!! The hostel is just beautiful and there is just a super cheerful environment overall. The team is so welcoming, friendly and always making sure that everyone's needs are met. The working shifts are easy and through the daily activities you get to learn about Mexican culture for free! The food is delicious, there's a full free breakfast served everyday and in some of the evening activities we get to have a delicious Mexican dinner as well😋 Already miss you guys, wish you all the best!!🩷🩷

Volunteering here has been an amazing experience. This is not a party hostel. Instead, it focuses on creating authentic Oaxacan experiences for guests. We organize cultural activities like cooking oaxacan food and mezcal tastings, which makes the work feel meaningful and unique. I loved helping with these events and seeing guests connect with the local culture in a real way. The team is supportive, the atmosphere is warm, and I felt truly part of the community. If you want more than just a party vibe and actually experience Oaxaca, this is the place. Highly recommend 🥳

Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience! The place feels incredibly homey — everyone, from the staff to the volunteers and guests, was so kind and welcoming. The hostel is very well organized, full of good vibes, and there's always something fun going on. Many guests would say this is the best hostel in the world, and honestly, I agree! They really gave me a home away from home, and I'll always be grateful for the time I spent here. I'd love to come back one day, and I wish the whole team all the best — you guys are doing something really special!
