The Experience

Hello, I am Jaime the owner of the Hostel located in Malinao General Luna, SIARGAO island philippines, I am in need of honest, hardworking and reliable volunteers. Hostel culture is a vibe. It is unique. Solo travellers want to make New friends. We need Volunteers who can run our daily hostel activities, drive guests to quiz night, to surf spots, to party nights. We want people who are outgoing and with great energy but also responsible.

I highly recommend this opportunity! I felt like at home, everyone was so welcoming and friendly and I can definitely say that staff members became my friends. I had a lot of fun staying at the hostel and would definitely come back at some point. I was heartbroken when I had to leave and wish I stayed longer! Thank you for everything the hostel team!

Unfortunately my stay was NOT great in the hostel. I was excited for this project and I was trying my best although the lack of guests. They made me leave earlier after my first week I spent there. They claimed there weren't enough guests which I get but the way they served me the information was disrespectful. Blaming me for breaking a dish that I paid later. The communication was lacking and the way they told me to leave was unacceptable in 3 days notice. Meeting Fiona she said it was great. I don't recommend the project as I lost even more money for my visa extension and rebooking flights fee.

Im surprised he left a review, I would prefer to keep silent if i have nothin good to say. But,he has left a review so I have to do one as well.HE IS RUDE, LAZY, OBNOXIOUS, and very ENTITLED.An ex. he joined our christmas party and he DID not help, entitled and wanted be served like he was some King. Second he is rude, he walks around the hostel like he owns the place, no decency to approach me or say Hi,after 3 days of waiting I went up to Him.Most of all, the staff decided he had to go because he was so LAZY. HE broke things in the hostel,and asked staff to clean up after.WORST volunteer ever.

What a wonderful stay! Words are not enough to express how much fun I had volunteering at the hostel. The staff is so nice, we immediately became friends. The tasks you have to do are not too difficult and as long as you are energetic, friendly and responsible, you will have a great time. This island has so much to offer and the hostel offers a great environment and support with anything you need. The place is very nice and the food was also delicious! If you have any hesitation, don't ! This is a great volunteering opportunity!
