My time at the hostel was truly a unique experience. I ended up in Reception, but the work was as expected for the position, and the shifts were easy. Overall, I felt that my comfort and concerns were heard, and the manager was amazing when it came to working the schedule to fit multiple requests each week. In full transparency, the volunteer dorm is a tight squeeze for 6 people, but the management team has made great effort in providing storage space and sufficient fans within the dorm. The breakfast, laundry, tours, and discounts are all as advertised, and were definitely added bonuses :)

In the hostel I had the position as Tour Guide. It was the best volunteering job I've ever done. I had to go out with the guests arround the hostel and discover beautiful places. Milena who's in charge of the volunteers is really open to suggestions to improve everything at the beggining we had some missunderstanding but after talking everything was perfect. We had our own volunteers room, breakfast included, made me feel like a home. I really reccomend the hostel it's the best hostel in PVR. Thanks Milena for hosting me there ❤️

Anna la manager del hostel es la mejor! es totalmente un amor de persona, ve y cuida por los voluntarios, esta al tanto de las condiciones del hostal y te da una cálida bienvenida! Anna es la que le da vida al hostel. Tuve que irme del hostel los primeros días y buscar otro voluntariado cerca debido a que en el momento que llegue no había ni huéspedes ni actividades. Básicamente nada de lo que esperaba para mi primer voluntariado. Por lo que mi experiencia fue en otro lugar, espero en un futuro el hostel vuelva a ser lo que parece ser en Worldpackers.
