I loved my time at the hostel! The owners and managers are so welcoming and truly make you feel like you are part of a family. I have left with lifelong friends and a place I will definitely go back and visit in the future. The working hours were flexible and the work was lots of fun! As volunteers we were looked after really well with great volunteer benefits. I highly recommend volunteering at the hostel!

The experience I had at the hostel was absolutely unforgettable, everyone from the other volunteers and permanent staff were so welcoming and great at creating more good memories! The work itself was planned well and very rewarding. 10/10 recommend this place to any other volunteer

An amazing place to spend your time! As soon as I came in I felt very welcome. They picked great volunteers and the managers are awesome. The owners will also come in often to have a beer with the guests, which is incredibly fun. Working is a good mix of actual work (which isn’t too difficult) and just having a laugh with guests. Would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a social hostel!

I had an awesome time volunteering at the hostel! From the shift managers to the other volunteers, everyone was super cool and fun to be around. The living quarters are excellent and well maintained and while the shifts may seem long, they go by quickly and are easy to make fun with the guest or other volunteers! The discounts at stays around the lake are a great bonus and you also get little discounts around pana at bars and eateries! Highly recommend this volunteering gig the vibe they create here is second to none.
