I had the best time at the Old Monastery Hostel! It is such a magical place that feels like home right when you walk in. The hosts Stephen and Silvana are so lovely and welcoming, and the food they make is amazing! (I already miss the smell of homemade breakfast) The work was exactly what I had expected from the description, very fair and no surprises. In my free time I explored the stunning area, went to the local pubs and cafes. If you enjoy nature, cozy places and want to spend your time surrounded by nice people I would recommend the hostel!

Staying at the hostel was wonderful! Stephen and Silvana really made the place feel like home and while Letterfrack is small, it's stunning and a surprisingly busy local hub.

My stay at the hostel was great! The place has a unique charm and allows you to meet all kinds of people as you help around the hostel. The work is as agreed mostly cleaning and other light tasks, and only takes up the morning. Stephen and Silvana are caring hosts and made me feel welcome with tips and stories about the place and Irish culture. Plus, they're wonderful at cooking so I really enjoyed breakfast and dinner during my stay. Letterfrack is a small village but well connected with buses to explore Connemara and even further. I recommend this place, and thank you again!!🙏

If you're reading this, I would definitely recommend staying at the hostel! My friend and I had a wonderful experience in the heart of Connemara with the hostel being right next to Diamond Hill. The work was very laid-back and the hours and days off well respected while still giving you a taste of what hostel life can be like in the off season. The hosts were very kind and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the stay. We could not have asked for a better place to stay in these cold winter months. Thank you for everything <3

I'll try to be as concise as possible in telling about my month there.
The place/area really deserves a visit since it's cool, rural and gives and idea of what the "true" Ireland is.
With this said, the experience at the hostel was definitely not as agreed and not something I thought possible in a volunteering experience. The behaviour of the owners towards specific people (choose without any 'reasonable' criteria btw) is unacceptable, rude, offensive and non sense. They deliberately chose to make my time, efforts etc. harder compared to other volunteers and for nothing that I actually did. 🤷
