I had the best time in the hostel. I stayed here as a guest and immediately wanted to come back as a volunteer which I did 6 months later. Uriel is so kind and makes you feel like home. I was able to slow down from constantly traveling and create a routine. I immersed myself in the culture and got to meet so many travelers and make new friends throughout my 6 weeks of volunteering

After one week staying at the hostel I felt like walking home when I returned form the beach to the hostel. At the hostel you will be in touch with nature and locals and truly get a good impression about the filipino culture. This volunteering is especially nice when you are solo traveling and are tired of meeting new people every 3 days. Uriel always hosts three volunteers who share a volunteer dorm together. So you can build real friendships while also getting good privacy. :) I had the best time there.

My experience at the hostel was more than amazing. I absolutely loved my stay there,from the beautiful hostel and the lovely staff to our daily activities and our responsibilities as volunteers. Everything exceeded my expectations I also want to say that Uriel is such a kind and amazing person who genuinely tries to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The volunteer work is very easy to manage. I couldn't have asked for a better volunteer experience, and I would recommend the hostel to anyone looking to meet incredible people, explore the Philippines, and create unforgettable memories.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel. The hostel is really nice and the dorms are spacious. The work is pretty easy, 6-10pm mostly or 4-8pm, just socialising with guests. The host is kind and encourages you to go out and explore the hostel, by yourself and with guests. This hostel has great perks and it is well worth volunteering here!
