The vibe was really cool and the locals there really make the place come alive et joyful. I really enjoyed my time there .\nThe organisation was sometimes making things complicated because a lot of things changed when i came and the transition was complicated but the place and experiences u can experiment there really worth it.

Amazing the hostelwith a great vibe and unforgettable friendships. The volunteers are truly the backbone of this place and the main reason it feels so welcoming and alive. The job itself is easy and fun, you often end up working more than expected by helping friends and covering shifts. A lot of responsibility is placed on volunteers with little recognition, which make you feel taken for granted. While the owner is friendly to talk to, he doesn't do much to support or help the volunteers, which makes the workload heavier over time. Great overall but limited owner support impacted my experience.

This opportunity should not be missed. It's really a life-changing experience. The only the hostelin the hostelwith a breathtaking eye-level island view that feels like a 5-star paradise.Beyond the view, the warmth, fun and care make you feel loved by everyone with other volunteers, staff, and most esp to the host Paul who treats all like family. The vibe is full of smiles, good talks, games, music, and connection.❤️ Best place to meet people from all over the world! 🌍 Great people (10/10), Food (10/10), and the most caring host Paul (11/10).

My time atthe hostel was one to remember!! This was my first time in the Philippines, but it will not be the last. The other volunteers here were amazing and made me feel part of thethe hostel family. The hours were 11-5 or 5-11pm (here during low season) and everything was easy to learn. You are right on the beach and have access to everything. This is the place where you go if you want family, culture, and the island life. I highly recommend volunteering here for as long as you can, everyone extends their stay here cause they fall in love. I stayed for a month, but wish I stayed for 5. Amazing people!!
