I cant even put into words how much my month at the hostel meant to me. Everyone from the owners (Val and Pascal) to management (Blue and Dean), other volunteers and guests all made this place really feel like a home away from home. Work was fair and straightforward and I've got nothing bad to say about this opportunity. Hopefully I can return one day as the hostel is truly a special place and I want to thank you guys for everything!

I am absolutely in love with this place. Everyone, the owners, the managers, the team, and the guests, are simply awesome. It is truly a home away from home and feels like living together with your friends! The only thing is, that compared to other volunteering opportunities, it's not the best deal. It's lots of hours, and they take it very seriously even though we're only volunteers. And there are almost no benefits besides the accommodation. Regardless, I do think I would go back, because I love these people and the place deeply.

My month at the hostel was the best month of my life. The facilities are so good that it feels like home very quickly. Management (Blue and Steph) are amazing, fun and understanding people. The work is enjoyable and flexible with the schedule. The hostel brings a really strong atmosphere and there is a constant turnover of amazing people. I don't have a single bad word to say about my experience, can't recommend it enough.

I had an incredible experience volunteering at the hostel. Nestled on a stunning island surrounded by lush nature, this hostel is a true gem. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and I met so many wonderful people from around the world. The sense of community here is unmatched, and I learned so much during my time volunteering. If you're looking for a place that offers both natural beauty and a chance to connect with amazing individuals, the hostel is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! I miss you alreadyyyyy 🤍🤍🤍

I had a great time volunteering in the hostel. It is a wonderful place that creates a community atmosphere for the guests and the volunteers, you don't even feel like you are working because you have a lot of fun. It is also an amazing place to met new people and get involved in an interesting international experience and dynamic. I highly recommend volunteering with them!
