The hostel has been the best place to volunteer. I have met people from all over the world, I have had so many great conversations and experiences. This hostel is really a home. The managers and owners are so caring and welcoming. They had so many cool recommendations for where to surf, where to eat, where to dance, and where to hike, where to snorkel, etc. There is a lot of love and magic here at the hostel. The locals are so friendly and if you are wanting to learn spanish this is a great place to do so with so many bilinguals around. Thank you so much guys ♥️🌎

I had an amazing experience at the hostel. The volunteers create a really friendly, outgoing, and supportive environment to try new things, practice Spanish, and meet other travelers. I spent a lot of time surfing because the work schedule was easy to plan around.

I had a great volunteering experience at the hostel Hear! It was an amazing opportunity to meet people from all over the world, as well as other Mexican travelers. The atmosphere was always friendly, and there was always something to do or people to hang out with, so it was easy to make new friends. the tasks were simple and clearly explained, which made everything easy to understand from the beginning. The schedule also gave me enough free time to explore San José del Cabo and enjoy the area. Dominique and Jared were always kind, approachable, and open to communication. thank you guys!

Home away from home! This is the best way to describe the experience I had. Miguel and Dominique were amazing hosts, and all the volunteers I met at the hostel welcomed me like family. It was a beautiful experience, and I would recommend it to everyone. The vibes at the hostel are incredibly welcoming, peaceful, and supportive for all travelers and volunteers. It's a place where you can feel comfortable, connect with others, and become part of a wonderful community. I'm very grateful for the time I spent here! I will miss you a lot! I wish I could have stayed longer
