Lovely! Plenty of free time to chill and explore, the work is very easy. You get the schedule ahead of time so very well organized and you can easily plan your free time! I was treated with much respect and Lydia and Brighton were very welcoming. The hostel is beautiful butbe prepared to see a lot of cockroaches and frogs in the kitchen since it's outdoors. I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a hostel with a family type of vibe, but rather if you wish to enjoy free and private time it's perfect! Only negative part was the laundry system which was very time consuming and complicated
