It was a wonderful time we had at the hostel! Staff is very welcoming and wonderful, we had the chance to bound and spend time with them. The location in perfect, not far away from General Luna or party or surfing. We met Jaime one time for Christmas party and he was so welcoming we felt like a part of the team. Hostel is very nice, the food is amazing thanks to the amazing chefs. Most of the guest are amazing and very keen to do all sort of activities and hang out. We had the chance to meet a lot of amazing people! Totally recommend the place to discover properly the life in the hostel

The food is very good, the staff is very friendly and it was nice to meet travelers everyday and help them experience the hostel in the best possible way.

My experience at the hostel was good. The staff members were super friendly and welcoming. The food and the hostel were great. The task was to organize activities for the guests but sometimes that seemed kind of hard because the guests weren't informed at their arrival of the fact that the hotel had activities planned; so as volunteers we kinda had to walk around the hostel and approach guests while they were at the pool/bar and it felt a bit like we were intruding and disturbing them. Overall my experience there was good and if you want to go to the philippines I recommend this place.

My experience was great! The staff is really LOVELY, they took care of me as if I know them for a long time, they were very arranging and kind! The food was good as well as the hostel facilities. There is lot of activities to do around with the guest and the staff trusted me with what I had to offer. The only frustrating point is that sometimes guest don't really want to socialise so no one participate at your activity. But overall I met great people, foreigners and locals, the island is very AMAZING so I truly recommend volunteering at the hostel. I would 100% do it again 🥰 Thank you !!

I had such a wonderful time at the hostel, it went by too fast! The staff are so welcoming and sweet, it made me instantly feel at home and apart of the hostel community. The "job" literally didn't even feel like work as the guests were so enjoyable to interact with and do fun activities around the island. The staff meal is delicious and the hostel in general is so well maintained and with very nice spaces to hang with guests and staff. I hope to be able to come back in the very near future <3 (:
