My main goal while looking for a Workaway hostel was to find a place that I would really enjoy as a guest myself. I find it important to work in a place that I support and am honestly enthusiastic about, and after having stayed as a guest first, I knew that this hostel fitted the bill perfectly.

The hostel uses Workaway on a consistent basis so… read more they’re pretty experienced with the whole volunteer thing, and that definitely shows in how your work will be organised and explained. Kris does an outstanding job in training every new volunteer, making sure you feel supported and confident in all that you’re doing. During work, I think I had most shifts with Peter (one of the two owners), who is a very caring and patient person, too. He brings a very constructive and genuine vibe to the work place. James, the second owner, is also often around and a bundle of knowledge and energy. In conclusion I think the three of them make a very compatible team and from a volunteers perspective it’s interesting to have three rather different personalities to work with and learn from.

Volunteer work either has reception or bar service as the main chunk of work. I was placed at reception and I absolutely loved it! It doesn’t take too long to get a hang of the work and after that you quickly become a part of the team. In the end it’s “just” a reception job, but I liked that you get a certain responsibility to plan your day, deal with things, solve issues and handle guests’ problems on your own. Obviously, the longer you stay, the more you get a feel of how the hostel deals with things and how it operates, so you can make more accurate decisions. That’s an interesting and constructive learning journey, for sure.

What makes the hostel itself so great is not just the facilities and location, it’s most of all the social and friendly vibe: the people. As a Workaway member, you’re definitely a part of the backpacker atmosphere, and on top of it you have a unique chance to contribute to it as a staff member. If there’s one thing that made my stay here unforgettable it’s the wonderful, warm friendships with both my fellow Workawayers and the many guests I got to meet and work for during my stay. We were truly like a family. Beside a solid team of volunteers, it’s also a lot of fun to get to know the paid staff and the tour agencies people, all of whom are super supportive and kind.

Pucon is a small town but there is much to do in the surrounding area and even if you have a busy work schedule, James and Kris will make sure you have a chance to enjoy all of it. It’s a pleasant place to relax, with good food to be found and lovely weather in summer. I also appreciated the little private quarters we were given to sleep. Even if they’re very basic, it’s nice to have a space of your own.

So all in all, my work at this hostel was the exact break I needed from traveling: a busy job in a good and supportive team, a chance to contribute to a place I liked and to serve others, completed with some relaxing in a beautiful area with tons of nature and activities.

In conclusion, I think the reception job here is perfect for anyone who enjoys working customer service, can multitask some planning and computer administration, and doesn’t mind working long days (this is not a “mop floors for two hours and spend the rest of the day on the beach” kind of Workaway, but personally I wasn’t looking that).
You’ll be rewarded with an unforgettable experience, a family of new found friends and world class outdoor adventures.

If I had the time to stay longer I wouldn’t have hesitated.
Definitely recommended!
