I absolutely loved my experience of the hostel! The tasks were easy and manageable, but what really made experience special was a staff (if you get to know them). I'll really miss them! The rooftop has has one best views in Manila, great place to socialize with other travelers/locals. The $500pesos per week and the 2 drinks daily (which can also be exchanged for coffee) were a great benefit. One of the things that can be improved would be the food options for Volunteers . Overall I had an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend the hostel to other Worldpackers. I'll miss ever 💖

My time at the hostel was amazing! Gwen was a very helpful and downright exceptional host, always keeping good vibes. And I had the chance to meet so many locals and fellow travelers. Poblacion is a fun place to be as well, and I was never bored. And side note: the rooftop is without a doubt one of the best viewpoints in Pobla. Thanks very much to Gwen and the staff at the hostel!

If you want a life-changing experience and love meeting amazing people, the hostel is the place to be! I volunteered here and instantly found my second home and family. Special love to Gwen, our volunteer manager, she is such a joy and an amazing person who brings the best energy to the hostel. ​The staff and everyone I met here are just top-tier. Days went by so fast because there was always something fun happening. They give a weekly 500-peso café voucher and two daily cocktail vouchers for the bar, which is amazing. I'll miss every single one of you..wait for me, I'll definitely be back! 🫶

I had a really great volunteering experience at the hostel. This was my first volunteering experience and I would definitely come back. I didn't wanna leave but I had to for a couple of months. I hope they would still accept me. I have created a really good bond with my co-volunteers and all the host staff. I love everyone and they treated me very well, specially my now bffs Gwen and Andrei. I love the hostel so much that I cried my eyeballs out when I left.
