I enjoyed my stay at the hostel, the staffs are friendly, the tasks are easy and I learned a lot. They are very flexible with changes on my travel plans, was able to come earlier and also extended my stay with no worries. The accommodation is basic with light breakfast but what could you asked more apart from the experience and the happy memories.

My time at the hostel was awesome! I really enjoyed it and had lots of fun with the other volunteers. The host was so warm and welcoming! The location is really good and the hostel patio was definitely one of my favorite places to hangout. The breakfast is really small, just oats and cereal for the volunteers and coffee, but it was good! The only con to the boathouse is the lack of training and a presence from management sometimes. But Dania was awesome! I think that this is a wonderful place to start volunteering and getting a feel for the ropes of travel.

Francisco and the Boathouse made me feel so welcome from my arrival. I felt at home and very comfortable with the team and fully supported. The Boathouse is a great hostel and in a great location. What really made this experience special was the staff and team spirit. I would highly recommend the Boathouse as a great volunteering opportunity, and will truly miss you all once I depart in 2 days, but feel I have gained a family for life and was a great opportunity to start my volunteering journey.
