LUM was my first Workaway and had a great experience.
The team was made up of amazing people that were all very welcoming. The hostle is clean, with a big kitchen, close to many cenotes and a short bike ride to the beach. All the shifts were straight forward and super fun.

Had an amazing time. Thank you for everything.

We loved to have Maria with us! She was excellent in any of the three positions we have. In reception, she picked up the system fast and did a fantastic job with the checkins/checkouts and treated guests with kindness and respect. Maria was always ready to help, patient, and handled any mishap with ease and maturity. With bar an activities, Maria… read more

This was my first Workaway ever and I couldn't have asked for a better place and people! I stayed there for a month and did bartending, receptionwork and excursions to the attractions in Tulum.

I stayed in here for my first experience in a workaway and it changed my life. The hostel is super cozy and friendly, and the people that work there are legitimately amazing.

We absolutely loved the time Elia was here. Elia mostly helped us in reception where he did a fantastic job and treated guests with kindness and respect.

This place was voted #1 hostel in Mexico and there's a good reason for that!

Firstly, the fellow volunteers and staff. They bring a sense of family within days of arriving, even with all the chaos going on at the moment, it brought us closer. Gaby (the owner) is a fantastic person, super positive and brings a great energy to the place.

Absolutely amazing! There is no better place to be. The tasks are super fun and challenging at first but easily managable after a few days. Gaby is an awesome manager and an even better person who truly cares for you. Its really just a big family that makes everbody (including the hostel guests) feel appreciated. Beyond that, you will have good… read more

It’s been a while since I volunteered with Lum and not a day goes by without me missing this hostel. This was hands-down my favorite workaway experience (and I had plenty of amazing ones before). I planned on staying for three weeks and ended up staying for two months.

Long story short, Tulum has changed my life & the whole experience was just… read more

Really can't say anything else but that this volunteering experience was hands down the best you can hope for here.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this workaway. Gaby, the one who organizes the workaways, is absolutely amazing. She is fun, knowledgeable, organized, and makes sure you have a perfect stay.

this was my first workaway experience, and i'm so grateful i had the opportunity to be there. i'm struggling trying to think of the words to describe this hostel.. it was more of a home, with Gaby (an angel lost on Earth), Dalma, and the other volunteers, you genuinely had a family. when you arrive, they give you a few days to settle in and get… read more

Always with a big smile on her face, Sam went beyond anything we asked and didn't ask of her. Diligent and friendly at reception, charismatic and fun at the bar, enthusiastic during activities, thank you Sam for all the wonderful things you brought to the hostel.

It would be a mistake not to apply at this hostel! Definitly the greatest hostel you can find in Tulum, the perfect mix between party and relax. The work is fun, as a volunteer you get to lead activities (and discover wonderful places), to do bar and reception. Gaby left us a lot of freedom, you get to chose your drinks at the bar and your… read more

There aren't enough words to say how thankful we were to have Mirek in our team. He was one of the first volunteers we hosted when we opened, and his 2 week stay turned into 2 months.

It's an amazing place to workaway! I was supposed to stay 2 weeks, just after the hostel opened, and I stayed 2 months. And I will come back :)

The work is to keep guests engaged in activities and events, so you would normally spend a few hours during the day doing a little bike trip to one of the cenotes or beaches, and/or do the bar in the… read more

Akos was an absolute pleasure to host and was very popular with all our staff and guests. He helped make our guests feel at home, take them out for street food and show them around the town on our daily activities.
He could only stay for 2 weeks as he was here on holiday but we wish we could of kept him forever.

Stay lit bro!
