I was for few days in EZ hostel sadly, because I was sick and need to go to the hospital, but the days that I was there where really nice, just keep on mind that this volunteering is more about party/socializing so if you are not good for that maybe not your place, the accomodation is good, and the allowance for food is good too!

It's a the hostel that runs perfectly, you get the chance to meet and make fun plans with people from all around the world. The hostel is beautiful and the accommodation was very complete and in a perfect location to enjoy Georgetown! Hopefully we can connect again in the future 🙌 Thank you the hostel team!

My experience at the hostel was really positive. I met amazing people, made genuine friendships, and learned a lot. I was also given the freedom to create cocktails for the bar, help organize events, and even host a Brazilian Night, which I'm very grateful for. Like any shared living environment, there were some communication challenges, but nothing that overshadowed the experience, and we always managed to work things out together. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for everything! Um beijo da brasileira! 💛💚

I had the best time volunteering at the hostel! The work is fair and as promised, the benefits are great, and the volunteer accommodation is a separate apartment to the hostel, which is a big plus! All the staff & other volunteers are friendly and always willing to help. Georgetown is such a fun place to spend some time in, and you'll never get enough of the food🤤 I would definitely recommend volunteering here!
