I really enjoyed the time in this hostel. It is located in a calm and small town, so it's perfect to relax and slow down a bit. There are beautiful beaches close to the hostel and if you like to hike, you'll get to even more beautiful beaches (or you can go with a boat too). The job is to be at the reception and do check-in and check-outs. There are some small tasks you might do as well, but it's very chill and easy :)

I had a nice time in Las Galeras. The owner, Barbara is very nice and flexible, the full-time staff is also very welcoming. The town is kinda small, there aren't many things to do, it's more like a chill place. However there are some excursions you can take with a discount :) shifts are easy, you need to do administration at the reception, help changing bedsheets, other small tasks. If you have any problems, you can talk to the staff and they will help, everyone is very kind. I recommend to buy earplugs for the night, not only for staying here, but staying in the DR in general

This hostel for me has been a home away from home. Out of all my experience traveling and volunteering at 14 different hostels, this is probably in my top 2. I felt so welcomed since my first day and las galeras is a lovely little corner of the world. Can't recommend enough!

The hostel itself is a nice place with great people who made my stay a lot better. My work tasks were easy once I knew the routine of each shift and working hours were respected. However, I did not enjoy Las Galeras as a place. Of course, the beaches are nice but for me that does not make up for all the men shouting disgusting things at me whenever I was walking down the street. I've been travelling Latin America for a long time but never saw a country were it was a bad as it is here. In total, I think other people might have a great time staying here but it simply wasn't my place to be.

Esperienza unica e che consiglio di fare. La proprietaria è stata accogliente e mi ha fatto sentire come a casa dal primo giorno. Il lavoro si è svolto esattamente come da accordi presi prima della partenza. La location permette di stare in stretto contatto con la natura. Il mare, il sole e le spiagge de las Galeras sono un ricordo che porterò nel cuore per tutta la vita.

This was an amazing experience and it was my first time volunteering. the hostel is such a great spot and Barbara was a great host and supported me through the had task of learning Spanish. It is possible to succeed in this position not knowing a lot of Spanish but it was a very very difficult experience for me. The other volunteers and the locals we met were the greatest part of this experience for me. I made so many memories I will never forget and life long friendships! Las Galeras is an amazing town with so much to explore and learn.

La mia esperienza presso the hostel è stata incredibilmente positiva, l'ostello è stato come una casa per me. Gli orari e le richieste di lavoro erano esattamente come descritte sulla pagina di presentazione e lo staff è stato disponibile e gentile sin dall'inizio. Ho avuto modo di conoscere persone fantastiche e migliorare notevolmente il mio spagnolo, consiglio questa struttura a chiunque stia cercando un'esperienza di immersione nella cultura locale e di grande contatto con la natura. Muchas gracias the hostel!!!

Barbara is a really nice person, however, they do nothing to enhance your stay my first volunteering went nothing as I expected, if you want to explore by your own las galeras Samana, go for it. they exchange a bed for work that's it. We even had some small disagreements with people working at the hostel and I found myself stressed at times, she has someone managing the hostel. the schedule varied the first week but then I was there 1pm-5 almost everyday leaving you no time to leave las galeras to explore nearby towns I feel they should be mindful that you're there to travel.

Um lugar para se conectar com a natureza, com você mesmo e com esse pedacinho de paraíso na República Dominicana! Bárbara é super comunicativa e vai estar sempre ali para dúvidas sobre o trabalho e dicas do que fazer no seu tempo livre. Se você sabe como funciona um Hostel, fazer check-in, check out, estar sempre ali para tirar dúvidas dos hóspedes, ser flexível, deixar tudo organizado e limpo, com certeza vai se dar bem aqui e se divertir muito no seu tempo livre!

I had a great time! The place was super cozy and I met super cool people which were guests in the hostel. When it was empty there was not much interaction. Working hours were 5 days a week for 4 hours, just reception and interacting with the guests which was a fair task and fun as well if you are outgoing. I love Las Galeras as well, its a small cute beach town where you can find time to relaxe, meet backpackers or locals and practise your spanish. Thank you for the experience :)
