Christian, Silvana and the whole staff is wonderful and welcoming. The actual job is easy to learn and the work hours are respected. Bacalar is a beautiful the hostel and I'm so glad I was able to stay here for an extended period of time. The cons: the volunteer room needed a lot of improvements in the bathroom upon arrival. However, when the issues were brought up to Christian, they were quickly addressed and improved. The only other con is that air conditioning is only turned on during the night. This can be difficult during hot days. Very glad I volunteered here.

Everyone I met at the hostel was so kind and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable right away. The schedule of having 3 days of work and 4 days to explore Bacalar and a SUP tour included as part of your volunteering was so amazing as well. My one and only complaint is about the living conditions. When I arrived, the volunteer dorm needed to be cleaned very badly. The other volunteers and I, ended up having to clean up after prior volunteers, which definitely wasn't ideal. There was some talk about having a weekly cleaning schedule of the dorms, so hopefully that actually gets implemented.

This volunteer position was truly great. I had no idea what to expect, as it was my first time volunteering through Worldpackers, but this experience has motivated me so much to continue traveling this way. The job was fun, challenging and I really enjoyed the hours plus I had a great time with the other volunteers. Host was always available, very helpful and understanding of the problems that could occur, and even though there was a language barrier everything worked out great. I loved my time at the hostel <33
