Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions I've made whilst travelling! Ervin & his team are some of the kindest, funniest and most welcoming people. You'll feel at home straight away. The tasks hardly feel like work at all, and the hostel environment fosters a really social buzz. I did not expect to fall in love with Siquijor as much as I did, but it had a charm and beauty that makes you never want to leave. You could spend months exploring this small island and not run out of things to do. I would highly recommend volunteering at the hostel and will 100% be returning :)

The host was incredible. The experience to meet different people from all over the world. Practicing English and develop some sport skills, that for me was amazing on my free time (free diving, cliff jumps, boxing and dancing). Totally recommend for new volunteers.

The hostel is truly a special place. A great community of staff and travellers and has such a wonderful family vibe to it. Family dinners every night are such a wonderful idea. I'm very thankful for the team at the hostel & was gutted to leave.

I had an amazing time at the hostel :)). Even though it's hard to sum it all up in just a few sentences, this experience was truly special. The team really cares not only about the guests, but also about the volunteers. The working hours are flexible, the conditions are fair, and the location close to the beach is perfect. You meet many great people, make friends for life, and quickly feel at home. Leaving was hard, but I would always love to come back. <3

Volunteering at the hostel will really push you out of your comfort zone and gives you the opportunity to be a part of something special. Ervin and the team really let you in on the experience of building a community and ensuring everybody has a fun experience on Siquijor. I will 100% be back!
