Juan the manager is so chill and relaxed, an all round great guy. The work and shifts are fair, Whit Juan being okay if volunteers swap them amongst themselves. The hostel is lovely and a great place to eat and get out of the heat.

This was my first volunteering expreience in Asia and it was great! Juan is the legend running the place. He was a really cool and easy guy to talk to, very laid back. The work is easy to manage and there is a kitchen so you can cook! If i am back in Langkawi i will work there again!

Had a great experience volunteering at the hostel. Very chill and easy going, the work is very straight forward and you usually finish the cleaning tasks before the four shift is up so the rest of the time you are just keeping common areas tidy and being around for guests if they need to check in/check out. Juan the manager was amazing, makes everyone feel welcome! Was in a great location, walking distance to beach all the restaurants. Great place to explore and ground yourself.

I had a great experience at the hostel, the place is highly organized and work shifts are straight forward. There is plenty of time to explore the island as the location is good and there's much to do around. The staff was lovely and I was lucky enough to be there with the best volunteer's! The beds were a bit noisy and had no curtains but I didn't mind too much.

I had a really good experience at the hostel. It's a really peaceful and calm place. You can do Yoga in the morning and spent a lot of time at the beach close by. The work is doable. Thanks to a plan you know what to do and the shifts are scheduled for the whole months, which makes it more easily to plan. You can also change with other volunteers. The beds are a bit loud whenever you move this is a bit annoying. But the common area is really chill good place to work, read, watch a movie and the outside kitchen is also very sweet.
