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

Oh how lucky I am to have had the chance to start my first workaway experience in this amazing place. From the day I walked in I was welcomed like family by all the volunteers, Gaby and of course sweet Dalma! This is my favourite hostel to have ever had the pleasure of staying in, the vibe from all the volunteers and guest make it nearly… read more

Unbelievable experience for my first workaway! The moment I arrived I felt extremely welcomed by Gabby and the rest of the volunteers. It was a pleasant experience got to meet sooooo many people at the hostel from all over the world. The work didn’t feel like work whatsoever, I really enjoyed doing all three shifts (reception, bar, & especially… read more

Really can't say anything else but that this volunteering experience was hands down the best you can hope for here. The spots on the team are sought after and well-curated for good reason: This is the best hostel in Tulum offering you the true essence of volunteering in new surroundings - Gaby's encouraging you to throw in plans, activities, ideas… read more

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. The Hostel is rated the best in Tulum for good reason; It is clean, comfortable, has everything you could need, and the work we did varied… read more

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

I am super late to the party leaving my review for Gaby and her amazing hostel, but after reminiscing a bit about my time in Mexico, I knew I needed to make my way back to express my gratitude for her and her amazing team.

I spent 3 months here and seriously could not imagine a better Workaway experience. Gaby and all the other volunteers and… 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.
We'll be waiting for you with open arms :).

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

This workaway was one of the best experiences of my travels so far! The hostel itself is absolutely beautiful with the most amazing hot showers, HUGE kitchen to cook in and very comfortable room for the volunteers to live in and has a Netflix and chill area that was essential when staying somewhere long term!

Tulum is an amazing town to visit… read more

It is more than a workaway - it is a family!;) the Hostal is new and such a nice place and the stuff is amazing. The work is super nice as well and Tulum has more to offer than you'd expect in the first place. I worked at the bar and could freely choose what to do there.. so be creative! I also organized activities for the guest which was a lot of… 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. We originally wanted volunteers to take guests out on activities, but Mirek went beyond that. Not only did he make sure all the guest had everything they needed and… read more

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!

I'm really glad to have the opportunity of helping in this new hostel, I truly enjoyed my stay here (16 days) and the enthusiasm, positive energy that Lawrence and Gabi showed to volunteers every day.
