My exsperience at the hostel was not the best but definitely not the worst. The other volunteers was amazing, and the owners are also lovely. The main problem for me was the manager. They never gave me an introduction to what was expected of me. What jobs needed to be done, how they do days off etc. And when I later on didn't do it how they wanted things it bacame a bit annoying… to summarize in short, there was an expectancy of a lot of goodwill and flexibility from me. But when I asked them for flexibility they were not very understanding.

Hi Jacob! I am very sorry I didnt reach your expectations, but on the other hand I think we were very flexible with you and letting you have tons of days off in a row, we let you change shifts as much as you like with the volunteer that has the same position as you and even when we finished your volunteer program we let you stay one night without charging you for that night so in that part I dont think you are being very honest. We also explain you how the days off worked after the first misunderstanding. And on the other hand, even in the morning you were leaving the place without working the day before, you expected another free breakfast so I think maybe you expected a level of goodwill from us that exceed what you gave us as exchange. Nevertheless we wish you the best and that you find better places for you!!

The hostel is a place where a Worldpacker arrives as a stranger and leaves with a Puerto Escondido family. It is a beautiful, welcoming, fun hostel. It is a great environment to meet new people. Caro and Erik are great people who truly wish the best for their volunteers, they support you and are there for you when you need them. They look after their staff very well and want to make sure you have the best time in Puerto. As a bartender you do, do more work than anticipated but it is a lot of fun and if you are organised you still have plenty of time to enjoy fish tacos and the beach.

The hostel is overall a great place and a great experience! However communication with management can be highly improved. When I arrived I got very little information on my tasks and I assigned in a different area than what we agreed on online. Very little things were explained to me. And I had to ask around the other volunteers for information. The manager was very absent during my stay (1 month and a half) and would only communicate to us in the volunteer group chat and almost never face to face.
