The Experience

We are a restaurant, bar, and hostel on the beautiful Philippine island of Boracay. We're looking for a "social agent" to help us improve the social aspects of our business, both on-site and online. Our volunteers will be individuals who are outgoing and social, enjoy interacting with all of our guests, and are full of energy. Experience with social media is also advantageous. You will be asked to work 5 hours/day, 5 days/week.

My two-week volunteering at the hostel was simply amazing. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with a fantastic and collaborative staff. Working hours were respected, yet every task was approached with enthusiasm, making the experience both fulfilling and enjoyable. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such a welcoming community and look forward to returning.

I particularly enjoyed my experience at the hostel. The job itself is pretty straightforward, mainly involving socializing with the guests. There's plenty of free time to explore the island, which is really cool! The atmosphere at the hostel is great, and I felt right at home. The island itself is quite touristy and expensive. I would recommend this volonteer job

The staff at the Hostel we always super nice and felt us feel really welcomed. For the social agent role, it might be a little trickier when in low season, but you will also work on your improvement skills and adapt accordingly :). If you are a slow traveller, I do recommend this volunteering opportunity!

My experience at the hostel was very enjoyable! The staff are very kind as is the owner Claudio, who was present for most of my nearly 2 month stay here! The work itself can be a bit confusing simply due to lack of direction, which can be both a positive and a negative. Claudio encourages his volunteers to be independent with the work and gives them full creative control ranging from making content to hosting events. The benefit of this is you have creative freedom! The downside is that at times I was a bit lost on how to spend my time working when it was a slow night. Overall positive though!
