We had an amazing stay at the guest house. Erica, Atol and Kieran and great hosts and are very welcoming and will give you clear tasks with times and days all laid out. The job itself is great, working on a beachside bar making drinks for people from all over the world. The island itself has some amazing coral surrounding it with plenty of spots to relax. It's not a place if you want a fast passed life. It's island life. The boys that work there (Yamin, Jazz, Santai and Moonah) are a great laugh and will always give you a hand if you need anything at all. We will be back.

Erica and Atol were great hosts; super friendly and very supportive! The bar work was easy to pick up and the hours allowed for a lot of free time during the day. All the staff here at the guest house are very friendly and absolutely made our time here very special. Thank you so much for a lovely stay :)

I could not recommend this volunteering enough. Erica and Atord are the BEST hosts and look after you completely from start to finish and they want to make your stay the best it can be. You work 3/4hours ish every night other than a Monday where the restaurant is closed. The work is taking orders, serving food and clearing plates. The chefs and Munna are a dream to work with and will look after you and can't do enough for you. You have all day to explore, whether that is snorkelling, walking around the island or more. The island has so much to offer and is a beautiful place that you call home

When I saw this Worldpackers I thought it was as incredible as it looks! Erica, Attol and Kieran are amazing hosts that make you feel like family immediately. All the staff are so kind and make you feel at home. The working hours are perfect 6-10pm!! I even got my open water course done before work. The food the chefs cook is wonderful. I saved so much money while being here. The island itself is beautiful. 4 weeks here wasn't enough! I can't thank you enough Erica for such an incredible stay. I don't want to leave! I will be back next year! x

Volunteering at the guest house stock was such a lovely experience! Erica and Atord take such good care of the volunteers and genuinely treat you like a part of the family. Working in the restaurant was really fun and only 4 hours a night, so you have your whole day to explore the island. I felt really looked after and the food is the best on the island without a doubt. The island is slow paced but the days fly by. Thankyou so much for such an amazing experience!!

I spent three weeks at the guest house and I couldn't have picked a better place to da volunteer. Working at the restaurant was nice and you adapt quickly. You have plenty of time to just chill all day, lay on the beach, catch up on your readings (I read four books while my stay), and swim in these amazing waters. But the best part of the experience are the people, Erica and Atord are always making sure you feel okay and are comfortable. The staff are just incredible and sweet, always with a smile in their face. And Nacho, the cutest dog ever!

I had an amazing time at Crocodile Rock, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Erica and Atord are great hosts who care a lot about their place and always look out for the volunteers, making sure we had everything we needed. The island is so beautiful, and you can spend hours walking and visiting different beaches. The work was not difficult, and always the same shift every night in the restaurant. The kitchen staff were also great and really looked after us every evening. Overall I really enjoyed my time here and would have stayed longer if I could have! Really recommend!

I had an amazing volunteer experience at the guest house. Erica, Atord, and the entire team are incredible and made me feel welcome from day one. The work is only 3–4 hours a day, so you have plenty of free time to explore the island and enjoy everything it has to offer. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this experience!

We volunteered as bartenders for over five weeks, and it was an incredible experience.
From the moment we arrived, we felt really welcomed. Everyone working there is super friendly, and Erika and her family are exceptionally kind, caring, and always willing to help. They make you feel at home right away. The job is really fun, with shifts from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm, leaving you plenty of free time during the day to enjoy the island. The location is easily one of the best on Perhentian, with beautiful sunsets and amazing snorkeling. Just come prepared to embrace the slow pace of island life.

Erica and the whole team at the guest house made this an outstanding volunteer experience. I felt totally welcomed into the family and so at home during my stay. Erica is a wonderful host and goes out of her way to help all volunteers in any way she can. I helped in the restaurant for just a few hours a day, shifts begin at 6pm so you have the whole day free. The island is a total paradise with beautiful beaches and lots of snorkelling spots. I will never forget my time on the Perhentian Islands- thank you the guest house!
