I had 2 lovely weeks in the Errigal hostel, I get a very warm welcome by Sally, Erin, Claudagh, Emer and the others volunteer! They explained very well the tasks, everyday you'll have a list of tasks to share between the volunteers. You have flexibility if you want to change your days off or if you need to adapt your planning. You'll have plenty tips about thinks to see and do around the area and about the local buses.
Everyone was very nice and smily, thanks very much! :D

I really recommend this volunteer exchange to everyone that wants a break from the city.
The tasks are easy and the working hours have always been respected as agreed in the application. Sometimes we also had the possibility to finish earlier.
The volunteers' rooms have everything that is needed, they are divided by gender and have a shared bathroom and shower.
The hostel also provides all the space for grocery with fridge and boxes for volunteers only.
The receptionists are very kind, they are always there for any problem and they always make sure that the volunteers are having a great time

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel. I wish I could've stayed longer. The staff and volunteers were absolutely lovely, welcoming and helpful. The location is truly beautiful, surrounded by incredible scenery and nature. Sally was very organized and clear about the tasks that needed to be completed, which made volunteering easy and enjoyable. Everyone worked well together and I really appreciated the friendly atmosphere. I'm so grateful for my time at the hostel and would happily recommend it to anything looking for a beautiful place to stay and meet great people.

I had an excellent experience at the hostel. Sally, Erin, and the entire staff are serious, professional, and competent, and they clearly explain the relevant activities and tasks. You know your volunteer schedule and can enjoy the scenery: the valley, the sea, and the mountains. If you are a serious, responsible, flexible, and friendly person, this place is for you.

I had an amazing summer at the hostel and I already miss everthing about it - even Henry the hoover. Luckily, I took a picture of him :P I recommend this voluntary work to everyone who wants to travel to meet people, make friends and spend time together. You will find them there. Also, go if you enjoy getting away from the busy touristic spots.

Thank you Julia, we are so pleased you had a great time with us. You and the group during your stay were really lovely and was nice to see friendships and fun blossom.
We now have a new Henry - Henry the 3rd due to a accident! Maybe you can meet him next time! Take care

One of if not the cleanest hostel I've stayed at. Friendly and well organized staff. Very relaxing place that felt like a nature retreat.

My experience at the hostel was wonderful. Even before I arrived, Sally welcomed me into a WhatsApp group and shared the schedule, useful information and activities. The hostel is beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean, and the work is efficiently organised, with clear, kind support from start to finish. Sally was a friend, teacher, confidante and sometimes even a mother figure. Her passion and attention to detail are evident everywhere. I'm incredibly grateful for this month and everything I learnt. If life allows, I'll definitely return to this magical place. Thank you for everything!

My first ever experience as a worldpacker, and it was truly amazing. The hostel is in a great location with enough space for the volunteers to enjoy themselves. The work is exactly as expected, with even more time free than I initially thought. The bus stops in front of the hostel, and can take you in both directions to Dungloe and Letterkenny. From Dublin to Letterkenny has a direct bus, so the trip is very doable!! Sally and Erin are amazing, and so are the other receptionists <3 I would 100% recommend going there!

I spent about a month with three friends at the hostel, where we had a wonderful time. The whole team - and especially Sally and Erin - made us feel welcome and comfortable. The work is very doable and there is enough free time to make trips to surrounding attractions.

Hello Julia, It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and to get to meet you. Glad you got some nice weather with us as well!
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
