The hostel is an experience where I immersed myself in the local culture; listening to the locals in their native language is amazing! Despite several hours of work and having to work during Easter week, which was a lot, I had fun! They were always flexible and understanding. I was able to develop many skills, thanks to everyone for welcoming me ❤️

My time here has been amazing, offering professional growth and immersion in Maya culture. Hearing Maya spoken casually at work has been a joy. Life at the hostel, amidst serene surroundings, is bustling but relaxing. Despite brief encounters, the local community at the hostel feels like family. My supportive manager tailors opportunities to our skills, and as an Instagrammer, I've shared the beauty of the place. While visitors come for tours like the Lanquín River and Semuc Champey, it's the warmth of the local community that truly sets this experience apart. #SenseOfBelonging

Must have stamina! I loved my time here, I ended up extending by 2 weeks but it does require a high degree of energy and adaptability. The shifts are all bartending and creating a fun environment for the guests, but it's also a full on restaurant job so accuracy, speed and customer service are also important. The days are 6.5 hours a day, 6 days a week which is a bit more than advertised, but still leaves plenty of time to enjoy the hostel and activities. Overall it was an amazing time as long as you are up for it! The friends you make along the way will be worth all the sleepless night

Beyond grateful for this amazing experience in the Guatemalan jungle! As a volunteer, I got to learn how to bartend, go tubing, explore the town of Lanquín, see Semuc Champey, and so much more! Gracias por todo y los extraño mucho :)

The hostel is an amazing hostel with an amazing team. It's a nice mix of locals and people from all over the world. Everyone is so nice and fun. It is relatively a lot of hours, but they do double check if you are fine with that beforehand. Eventho it's a lot of hours, most of your shifts are at night so during the day you have a lot of free time still. And during shift it usually doesn't feel like working anyway because you are having fun with your colleagues. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that the room shown on the pictures is not the staff house where you will be sleeping.

The hostel is cool spot! Views and the weather are excellent round there! I mainly had my good times with the guests! So many good people come through the hostel and made loads of mates! Food is okay, smoothies are better. A downside was the manager who didn't make me feel all that welcome. The 4 weeks I was there he didn't ask me one question about myself, showed absolutely no interest in me from the get go. Most the staff and the owner are good people! I was ready to leave after 3 weeks and that would have showed in my last week :/. Overall though fairly good.

I enjoyed my experience at the hostel very much. It is a special place. Grace, Callum, and the entire staff team are great. Besides the location being remote and a bit isolated, the hostel was one of my favorite places to volunteer. I definitely recommend!

I only spent one week at the hostel due to personal reasons I needed to return home for. But, after just one week, I felt very included, and the whole team was very welcoming, fun to hang out with, and supportive. The hostel itself is amazing and located in a magical place. It provides everything a backpacker desires, and Lanquin/the area offers a lot if you love nature and exploring. It's the perfect place to volunteer!

I recently had the chance to work at this lively hostel, and I must admit, the staff here is welcoming and friendly. If you thrive in a spirited environment and have a passion for partying, this is undoubtedly the place to volunteer 36 hours per week🎉🌟
