My first two weeks at the hostel were positive. The location is great, and I enjoyed interacting with guests. However, I was not properly trained, and many tasks were only briefly explained or expected without clear guidance. Over time, I was given additional responsibilities not listed in the original description. There was also a disagreement about my remaining days off, which escalated and led to an early departure. Clear communication about tasks, hours, and days off is essential to avoid misunderstandings.

First of all that,you have too understand that just you left university and come to running operation so you have to follow up guide line in where ever you work.about dayoff,you can't decide always about day off.by the way every after voleent five days we giving day off.you can't advanced!after work five hours we don't mind what ever you do.How we can communicate with you?you have been used ear buds while you work.that was terrible but still we gave chances for you.still you more need improve

Kasun and Dinesh were both so very welcoming of me and a delight to work for! Despite both being very busy they took the time to show me clearly the tasks that needed taken care of so I had an understanding of what do to at all times. The environment in the villa during work was always upbeat and I was always taken care of with tea/coffee and food! Also outside of working hours the boys would sometimes message me to see if I wanted to hang out which was nice as sometimes I would feel alone.

I would not recommend the host as I did not have good experience from the beginning and I did not even start my volunteering. The host forgot about me coming, he was sleeping when I arrived and confused when I called him I am at the hotel. He gave me keys from the house, did not explain house set up and left. The room was dirty, leaking water, dirty bedsheets and you had to enter the bathroom through the balcony what did not feel safe. Bathroom did not have a proper shower just a tap on the wall and it was not clean. I could not sleep the whole night I did not feel safe. Not recommend at all.
