A lovely hostel with a strong community feel. The agreed hours were always respected and the work was easy and enjoyable. The hostel runs daily tours and activities so it’s easy to meet other travellers, and there’s good discounts for the volunteers. The volunteer room was clean and comfortable. Overall a great experience.

I really enjoyed my time volunteering at the hostel! I was there during low season, so the work was pretty chill and the schedule was easy to work around. The free drinks were such a nice extra, and Flor & Mary's breakfast was amazing!!! It was also a great place to practice both Spanish and English. The other volunteers and guests were lovely, and Gianna, who works there, was one of the sweetest people I met and someone I really connected with. The only thing to keep in mind is that the volunteer dorm is small and has no windows, so it can get warm, but there are fans :)

I just had the best experience I could ask for! I absolutely loved my time in the hostel. The vibe of the hostel makes you feel like a family, the volunteers and Yok are so nice. I've learned so much from Mexican culture and I'm grateful I got this experience!

I had a wonderful three weeks volunteering at the hostel! I'm so grateful for the friendships and connections I made with both volunteers and guests. A special thank you to Yoka for her warm energy, constant support, and for always making us feel cared for. The tasks were easy and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. I also loved connecting with the local community, especially the salsa scene, which taught me so much about Latin music and dance. Oaxaca once again brought me healing, connection, and beautiful epiphanies. I highly recommend the hostel and would happily return! ❤️🙏🏽
