This hostel has been one of the highlights of my travels so far. I learned so much about hostel management, people, dealing with unforeseen issues and working while having fun. What a place to party!

My experience at this party hostel was amazing. For a party hostel, the organisation and structure for volunteers is very clear and easy to follow. The managers and employees make you feel at home, and are willing to discuss concerns, challenges or anything with open ears. I was encouraged to be myself, and even bring my own ideas to the table to… read more

Marc was a fantastic addition to our hostel team. He showed responsibility and care far greater than his years. He was great at connecting with guests and even made an effort to reach out to guests after they left to get better feedback on how to make our company better. We were sad Marc could only stay the short period of time that he did, but he… read more

I wish I could give more than five stars to this hostel. I worked here for five weeks and it was one of the best experiences of my life!

We were so lucky to find Nia and add her to the hostel family! You never saw Nia without a smile, and her happy nature connected with guests so well. She showed maturity far greater than her years.

I really wish words could do this place justice. I spent almost 7 weeks volunteering at the hostel, and easily could have stayed months had I no future plans.

Had an absolute blast working at G spot! It definitely tested my endurance (and tolerance lol) but was totally worth it.

Many memories were made at this incredibly fun hostel. I met so many great people each week and felt very at home here.

Finding the place was a once in a lifetime experience that could be replicated by none, the managers Nimisha and Adam couldn't be friendlier, funnier or nicer people and the same goes for the Owner Nick.
