We stayed here and worked helping behind the reception and doing cleaning duties for approximately 5 hours a day, 5days a week.
It's easy going, chilled, and you are immediately made to feel at home by all who work and stay there. The other staff were super helpful - thank you Annika and David! - and the location is perfect. Right next to the… read more

This was a great place to stay and volunteer. I spent a great 2 weeks here over Xmas and new year, and it was exactly what I was looking for.
David and Fisher are great to work and socialise with, they are both unforgettable people and made my time here memorable for all the right reasons.
The help is straight forward and the shift patterns fair,… read more

There aren't words to describe the 5 weeks I spent here. David and Fisher have become part of my family, having spent Christmas and New Years together and a whole load in between, I wouldn't have wanted this time to spent any other way than with these guys. The work is easy but the exchange is super uneven, as I have gained so much more from being… read more

First, thank you, David and Fisher, for such a warm welcome into the family.
Volunteering here never felt like real work - it was fun, met a lot of great backpackers, and at the same time learned how to manage a hostel from the inside. Georgetown has a special place in my heart now and I would definitely come back for more if I am back in… read more

Hello to the family <3
What can I say? Amazing owner, amazing manager, amazing hostel on an amazing island. My friend and me stayed here for 10 days and it was... guess what.. amazing! So so much fun, a lot of late nights that turned too quickly into mornings. A place you wish to never leave if you are easy going and not a flashpacker :)

This hostel has become part of family for me. Met some of the most awesome ppl here and just hard to leave this place. It's close to all the bars to hangout at night with amazing street foods but distant enough to get a good night sleep. This place is simply too cool for anyone to hangout anywhere else! And David and Fisher are the coolest blokes… read more
