The hostel owners were very accommodating. The hostel itself is comfortable and the work is super easy (I assume even more so because it was low season). Myself and the two other volunteers stayed in a dorm together and became a little family, which was fantastic. My only advice would be a little more clarity about work expectations from the… read more

This is a nice family-run hostel which is still finding its footing on the scene. I would rate my experience as good with one caveat: the doorbell, which I was expected to sleep with, so as to let folks in and out all through the night.
