I stayed in the hosteloaxaca for about 6 to 7 weeks bartending and the whole experience was simply amazing. Though it wasn't super easy for me integrating the first few days, the entire team did their best to include me and by now I see them as close friends if not family. The hours are good, you get food twice a day and the hosteloaxaca is simply one of the best places in the world to socialise and feel like a true local. Special shootout to the rooftop team who I spent pretty much everything day with. Tony, Eddie and Reza were such a pleasure to work with. Thanks for everything!

Volunteering at the hostelHostel in Sayulita was beyond anything I expected. I worked the bar and helped lead experiences, and what was supposed to be one month quickly turned into two. The accommodation is super comfortable, with private beds, plenty of storage, and huge, clean bathrooms. The staff are incredibly welcoming and became true friends through late nights, shared meals, and nonstop laughs. I met inspiring travelers from all over the world, learned bits of new languages, explored with locals, and created memories I'll cherish forever. Sayulita and the hostelwill always feel like home.

I had an amazing time here at the hostel in CDMX! I got to meet amazing people and practice my Spanish everyday with all the workers here who were more than happy to help me. I worked with housekeeping my whole stay here and it was very easy work and very calm. My shifts were 9-3 at first and switched to 8-2 when I started helping the kitchen in the morning for breakfast and I would end my shift with HK. Overall this is a good hostel to volunteer at if you want to learn Spanish and explore the city. Feel free to ask me questions; more than happy to help.

The hostelis an amazing hostel that I'll always recommend both for travelers and volunteers. ✨ From day one, I felt the warm energy of the staff, who quickly became friends. Working in such a positive environment made my stay unforgettable ☺️. I stayed in a shared room 🛏️, connected closely with guests, and had so much fun involving them in the activities I organized 🎉. Plus, the hostel provided two meals a day, laundry service, and two days off, perfect for a well-rounded experience.
