From the first moment I arrived, I felt at home! Lizie coordinates the team perfectly and makes sure everyone is happy. There is a very great atmosphere of cooperation! Annie is a wonderful woman! In my case, they helped me a lot to improve my English; they were patient. All the staff is wonderful! And thevolunteers,s too! The local people are very nice and are always willing to help or show you the most beautiful places! Without a doubt, it is the most enriching experience I have ever had! I recommend it 100%. 💚💚

My time at the hostel was one of the most loving, adventurous, fun filled volunteer opportunities I've ever had. I feel so grateful to everyone at the hostel ( Annie the owner, Lieze the manager and the whole full-time working team) for allowing me to be a part of such a welcoming, friendly and caring community for the past 2 months. the hostel is such an incredible hidden gem of a town and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to have experienced life here. Thank you the hostel, I will never forget my time with you

I had the most amazing time of my life at beachhouse. A big thanks to Annie, Lieze, the beachhouse staff and the amazing volunteers with whom I started with (love you & miss you already). The atmosphere here is peaceful yet incredibly dynamic. On Thursdays and Sundays you get experience amazing music and vibe with the locals who make volunteering very fun. Here you will make great friendships, learn about yourself and enjoy fantastic nature. I left beachhouse a different person than when I first arrived and I mean that in the most positive way one can imagine. Thank you 🧡

Best volunteering experience I did so far. I loved every day of my stay at the hostel. The owner, the manager and the staff are just amazing people who will make you feel like home and will always be ready to help you. The job is fun and gives you the chance to meet local and international people. the hostel is a beautiful village surrounded by nature, that offers a lot of activities for your free time. I'm so grateful and happy to have been part of this family for two months. I'm gonna miss BH and all the people I met so much! So thank you Annie and Lieze, you've been so special to me 💛

"I couldn't have asked for anything better! This place will always have a special place in my heart... From the staff to the locals, everyone is always willing to help you and make you feel like you're at home. For me, this has been the hostel, my second home. It's been three fantastic months full of emotions and opportunities to seize. A special thanks to the entire staff, Lieze, the volunteers (I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TERRIBLY), and Annie, my adoptive granny. ❤️ See you soon!"
