I had an amazing experience in Cabarete and I'm so happy I chose to spend part of my trip here! What made it truly special were the people: I met incredible volunteers and Nelson was always kind, helpful and ready to give advice. Sharing everyday life, going out and discovering Cabarete with them made it unforgettable. I had plenty of free time to enjoy the beaches, sunsets, nightlife and water sports, as the work was simple. The accommodation is basic and the bathrooms and cleanliness could be improved, but overall I'm so grateful for all the people I met and the memories we made together! ❤️

I really enjoyed the location and the neighborhood and I felt very welcome at the hostel. I also met some wonderful people during my stay. The host was hospitable, very friendly and always willing to help us settle in. He gladly recommended places to visit and shared useful information about the Dominican Republic. I am giving four stars because the cleanliness and overall condition of the accommodation could be improved. I would also have liked to see more care and attention from the host toward the place itself. Overall, it was a warm and memorable experience✌🏻

I loved my time at the hostel. Nelson is an amazing host and the hostel has a great community of volunteers. Nelson showed me around the area and helped me with transportation to and from the hostel. The place is laid back and great if you like going out at night.

I came during low season. no communication between me and the manager when I arrived , so i had no idea where to go or what to do. i came and the whole place was empty. there were no shifts that the manager gave us. there was really nothing to do. the hostel itself was also pretty neglected and could really use an upgrade (also the cleanliness). we did get to see some fun places in the area tho, another volunteer had a car :) he also asked for the money through another volunteer, which was weird. he didnt speak about it to me directly.
