I had an amazing time at the hostel. I felt immediately welcomed by Monia, the manager who is a super nice woman, and the other volunteers as well. I spent 5 weeks in Bundoran, which btw is an adorable little town, and time flew by. The working hours were well respected and the work itself was not too demanding. I didn't have to do anything that surprised me. In your free time you can go surfing, which is fun! We volunteers grew together very quickly and experienced a lot together. They made my time there unforgettable! There was never a dull moment in the hostel. So I can only recommend it!

I had a great six weeks at the hostel! The manager Monia was lovely to me. She was very good at respecting the agreed upon hours & always flexible and accommodating. The work itself was not too challenging & I never felt asked to do too much. I learnt to surf with the equipment there, & would highly recommend it as everyone was so encouraging & always up for a surf trip. The town is lovely & the surrounding countryside beautiful. & I will miss the sofas in the common areas - so comfy! By the end everyone felt like a family - you will make friends for life! Would definitely recommend.

My stay in Bundoran working at the hostel was truly wonderful! If you're considering going there for getting to know locals, surfing, and a good time, then I definitely recommend the place to be right for you! I had a lovely time and got along really well with staff and locals. I cannot wait to come back :)

I loved my time at the hostel! I was lucky enough to join a team of awesome people who were always down for a surf, explore, or a night out! I had such a good time and the people really made the experience the best. This was my first time volunteering and while it was a good experience, there were times when I felt if we all communicated a bit more the daily tasks would have gone a bit smoother. There was a bit of confusion as to the tasks and expectations but we got it sorted out in the end! Overall the work was easy and fair! the hostel was super chill and the people were awesome :)
