I had a really good time volunteering here! I worked at reception and loved the atmosphere, the people I met, especially Giudi, Memo, Oscar, Louisa and the other volunteers. It was a great way to meet people from different places while exploring Puerto Escondido and discovering new spots. ☀️ I'm really happy I had this experience and would definitely recommend it! 💛

Staying at the hostel was incredible. The staff and volunteers were really welcoming and after a short amount of time we were like family. The working environment was really chill and whenever I had a question or something I wasn't sure of, I had someone I could ask. The hostel itself also carried a chill vibe with a lot of hammocks and a pool to relax in. Also I could practice my Spanish by talking to Guillermo and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend the hostel to anyone.

I absolutely loved my volunteering experience at the hostel. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly welcomed and quickly felt at home. The staff are kind, supportive and always positive. The team of volunteers is amazing and creates such a warm and friendly atmosphere. the hostel truly feels like a big family. I even decided to extend my volunteering because I didn't want to leave. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a meaningful and unforgettable volunteering opportunity. <333

I had an amazing stay at the hostel. The place is truly beautiful, very comfortable, and every space feels welcoming and well taken care of. The breakfast was a solid 10/10 such a great way to start every day. I'm especially grateful to the staff for being so kind and helpful at all times. Thank you Memo, Dani, and Sergio for always helping with any questions and making the stay even better. What made this experience even more special were the new friendships I made while staying there. Definitely a place I would love to come back to. Highly recommended!

Because of all the high reviews I had high expectations of the volunteer job. Unfortunately the job didn't meet the expectations. The people were nice, but it wasn't organised at all. I didn't get my schedule in time, I didn't get instructions of what type of activities I needed to organise, what kind of content I needed to create, what the other tasks on my schedule mean, etc. Other volunteers were also not well instructed and because of this, there was sometimes tension when something wasn't done like it should be. I still had fun and made friends, but workwise I wouldn't recommend.

Thanks for your feedback. When something on the schedule/tasks is unclear, volunteers are expected to ask so we can clarify. If during your stay some tasks were not clear to you, questions should've been raised at the time. All volunteers receive a detailed manual before arriving, training when they get to the hostel, and a scheduling app that notifies them when shifts are posted. No other volunteer has had this issue, so we believe it relates more to communication than lack of organization.
