I did stay in the hostel Backpackers Hostel for 1 month and 3 days, it was a great experience. The host ''Lucky'' was so friendly and helpful from the beginning to end and he was explaining every details. We become like a family with other volunteers as well and we were doing nice activities together almost every day, such as ordering food to the hostel or go out together, party on Saturday night and so on. The job was mostly doing shift in the reception for 6 hour for 3 days of week so I had plenty of time to discover the area which was perfect. I definitely recommend this volunteer job!! :)

I would recommend volunteering at the hostel. I felt welcome, there are some activities volunteers and guests can do together almost every day. The work wasn't really hard, there was not that many guests at that time so it was quite chill. Unawatuna is a nice town, there's a nice beach for beginner surfers, Turtle beach, some nice Cafés and bars but also local restaurants. The host is nice and friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience.

My stay in the hostel backpackers hostel was an amazing experience that I really recommend other volounteers. It was my first one with worldpackers and I am really happy. The tasks are easy and you don't need previous experience, you have lot of free time to explore the area which is very close to surf spots, beaches, temples and train/bus station to reach other cities in your free days. local people working in the staff are very kind and nice. As the host is very fast to response to new applications I suggest to new volounteers to text a lot about your expectation/needs before your stay

My experience at the hostel was a very positive one. I enjoyed the location of the hostel and the other lovely volunteers I met. My role was as the yoga instructor which I enjoyed as it helped me build further experience with teaching large groups for the future. Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to leave a week earlier and Lucky was very accommodating and supportive. My personal experience of the hostel dorms and common area weren't great in terms of cleanliness and overall hygiene . However I am thankful for this opportunity to explore Unawatuna and to teach yoga.

My first 3 weeks in this hostel were really nice, I got along with the host very well, I liked the vibe in the hostel and the work was good. The host had one rule about not bring guests to parties outside of the town, which I completely understand. However, in the last week the host suddenly accused me from this, because 'he had a feeling'. His communication style was unprofessional at this moment, later the host made a contract with more rules for the volunteers, at this point I decided to leave the hostel. I think the host is a friendly person, so I hope he can work on his communication.

Thanks for the review. Usually when guests are checking for a hostel we have hostels rules. So i have some terms and conditions for the volunteers as well. Is there anyone who don’t want agree for these conditions they can’t volunteer here.
