I stayed at the hostel for one month and it was an amazing expirience. You feel very welcomed since the first day you arrive and you quickly adapt to the enviorment. The tasks demanded are not that difficult, so on your free time, you can disconnect and enjoy its beautiful sorroundings. I highly recommend the hostel if you enjoy nature.

One of the best experiences of my life, I just left and can't wait to go back. the hostel has been like living a dream to me. The lake, the mountains, the sheep, the friendships I made, the beers!! just perfect. Yes it's remote, but if you enjoy being surrounded by nature and hiking it is the right place for you. Clifden is close by and you can go back to Galway during free days. The work is manageable and fun - we mainly did prepping for the upcoming opening season. Staff even has its own area, with a cozy living room, bathroom and bedroom. Kitchen is huge. I truly love this place ❤️

My stay at the hostel was very nice! I met super nice people and was able to get to know Connemara. The place is very rural, but if you like nature and hikes it is the perfect place!

My experience at the hostel was really nice. I was able to practice my English while also learning new skills. Naseem and the other volunteers made me feel welcomed right away. The work, since it got close to the off season, was easily accomplished. It's perfect if you want to spend time in the nature!!

Situated in the middle of no where with a great lake view and a mountain in the back yard! It's lovely and lively. It's easy to get to Clifden for groceries and Galway for our days off. The work is simple and well orchestrated. Everyone is so welcoming ❤️ It's a great place to rest, meet people and surround yourself in Irish nature!
