Pia and the crew at the hostel were great, very friendly, beautiful location and great facilities, the perfect spot just far enough away from the town to come and relax but close enough to the beach and parties when you want!

Everyone here is amazing. the beach is super close and the location is great — about 10 minutes from the beach. it's close enough to go out and enjoy the nightlife, but far enough to get away from the chaos and rest. the tasks are very simple, and everyone's needs. i 100% recommend it.

My experience at the hostel was mixed. The place is amazing, quiet, with a big, clean kitchen and a nice accommodation for volunteers. That said, there is some disconnect between the listing and the reality. It's not really a conventional hostel (no dorms), so it's less social, though there are a lot of volunteers. I applied for housekeeping, cleaning, reception and administration, but in practice it's mostly maintenance work due to the low number of guests. Tasks can be unclear, as there isn't a structure to it, you mainly do what asked. By agreement with the owner, I left early.
