I had a wonderful time at the hostel. Angel was a great host, always recommending things to do around Santander and helping the volunteers get accommodated to the hostel and the area. The hours were fair and the volunteer room is cozy. The hostel in general is super clean and comfortable, and really felt like home during the time I stayed. I had a great time meeting guests and exploring the surrounding area- Santander has a lot to offer! I would definitely recommend this hostel, it's a great experience where you'll learn a lot and meet many new people from all over.

My experience at the hostel was truly amazing. The hours of work were always respected so that we had the rest of the day to explore the city and the beaches. Angel is a great host with a great energy and big heart and he really brought a cool energy to the place.

This was my first worldpackers experience and I could not have asked for more. I spend my days exploring Santander (and surfing in Somo:)), learning Spanish, meeting kind people and enjoying local food/drinks. Within these six weeks I truly feel like I've become part of the SCH-family. Thank you Angel and Andrea for all of the wonderful conversations, your insights and tipps for Santander and always being there, if needed. See you next time!

I had a great time in Santander! Angel is welcoming and does a lot for you to have a great experience. He's flexible about who takes which shift and therefore provides a lot of freedom, while always respecting the working hours (which are very chill already). The volunteer room is small and without windows-yes, but it provides privacy for the two volunteers in it, which is nice. I like that there are usually at least two volunteers at the same time so you have someone to explore the city with and can gain new friends ;) So overall i really enjoyed my trip! Thanks Angel, Andrea and Leo!

It was great having Lea on board. She made part of the most amazing volunteer team evar at the SCH. Positive, caring and full of energy, Lea brought so many gifts to the house, to the other team members and; of course, to the gusts.... You leave fiends and a place to go back anytime you are in Santander. Thank you so so so much Lea !!!

Dearest Angel! Thank you for an amazing time in Santander, and for letting me help with your project. The hostel is cozy, and you meet a lot of nice people and participate in a good community. I had a good time with the other volunteers and Angel took so good care of us! The work is fair, easy to learn and you get good training to learn the different tasks. The city is pretty, the beach is awesome and the food and nightlife is very good. Angel helps me developing in confidence and he is a person you never forget! I'm so great full for my time there, thank you Angel!🐣

I spent an awesome six weeks at the hostel! When I arrived, Angel was very welcoming and gave me time to settle down and get acclimated with the hostel and everything! The work I had to do varied from time to time; either doing the beds in the morning or folding the sheets or working the evening shift at the reception (which I truly enjoyed). Angel also really encouraged me to be more independent during my shift :) In addition to that I had the chance to socialize with the guests! The experience helped me a lot to improve myself in many different ways, I am very grateful :)

My stay in Santander was great and a once in a lifetime experience. I got along super well with everyone there and learned a lot about the Spanish culture. The tasks were fairly easy and self-explanatory, but some others took more responsibility than I had expected, which was a bit overwhelming at first, but also got me out of my comfort zone! Angel is a good boss, who's flexible and chill but can also be assertive when it's needed. The volunteer room is quite cozy and, even though it doesn't have a window, Angel is doing his best to make you feel comfortable and at home. Would recommend!

Dearest Magdalena. Sorry for the delay in my comment on your experience... I've been very very busy... (overwhelmed, in every sense).
Magdalena has been part of the volunteer team in October... I really enjoyed meeting you Magda. You are a noble, responsible, charmingly absent-minded person with a great spirit. Having you on board has been a gift... and you have taught me a lot. You are now part of the SCH-"Vamos" group. Please come back anytime you want as a guest... vip.
See you Siempre!!!!

Santander, and the hostel itself were both lovely but Angel, the host, was often difficult. He was very unpredictable. He would yell at people when they mildly inconvenienced him. He had cameras all over the hostel, and regularly asked me about conversations I had with the volunteers or with guests, that were meant to be private. He complained a lot to me about one of the other volunteers, and he made a number of racist comments regarding guests, during my stay there. I considered leaving this experience early due to his temper. The work was fair--3 hours per day, but I wouldn't recommend.

I have never han a volunteer who showed so much happines to be here, and now I am reading that ... all the time you were here you were feeling this way.
Please do not confuse, jokes among us, the house, the team... in a low profile team free of speech approach, with mean intentioned behaviours towards you... I new you were quite rigid from the very begining... but I never had the feeling of such a disconfort while you were here, never. I am surprised that your spend all this time in such a suffer. I had wished you to go at the very first sign...
So much anger... Isn´t it? Hmmmm
I feel:
Disappointed with your lack of discretion with the internal things of the house. Disappointed with the innumerable details that you have experienced from us. I sense a resentment that is not fair. You magnify details that you expose as horrors.
Perhaps you are the one who should work on your rigidity...and intention of heart, if you are so malicious.
Hasta siempre !!
