My Onefam experience is forever tattooed in my heart (and the pictures pinned to my wall). I met amazing people that remain close friends. I must say the environment is amazing, but you really should like to party hard and enjoy being with people all day long if you are planning on volunteering. The property was really nice, and the staff 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 could literally not be better. One big hug one fam❤️‍🩹

Literally my best volunteering experience and it was definitely one of the most grateful and perfect chapters of my life. I made so many friends, trained my Spanish, went to a damn a lot of parties, went out with the team, learned how to cook better and enjoyed one of the best cities in Europe. The work is literally so easy and you have a lot of time to explore the city and the nigh life. Onefam paralelo Will always have a place in my heart and I'm definitely coming back 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I had the time of my life working at Onefam Paralelo! Shout out to the best reception team (Eoin, Made and Bea) who always made sure the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The tasks were clear and agreed upon, allowing me to enjoy every moment of my experience. The accommodation is a 3min walk from the hostel which was really convenient. In only 4 weeks, I made a lot of new friends with whom I share amazing experiences that I'll never forget. So if you love partying and socialising, this is for you!

Hands down to the best hostel I've stayed at. I loved every single part of this experience and I couldn't be more grateful to OneFam Paralelo for having me. Shifts and schedules are always more than fair and you will usually have only 3 or 4 shifts a week. Most of the work is basically socializing with the guests and having fun. There are 5 OneFam hostels in Barcelona with whom you will hang out every day and they will become your second family. I have to mention the greatest team ever at the reception - Eoin, Made and Andre and of course my amazing tram of volunteers. Yep, Cool.

Management (Eoin, Made, Bea, and Andre) was amazing—so much love from the reception team! The instructions and what was expected of me as a volunteer were clear and concise. I loved that some of the other volunteers arrived at the same time as me and stayed for the same duration. The staff I worked with became my best friends. I can't wait to see some of those people again! It was a great cultural immersion as your neighborhood has authentic Barcelona vibes and is so adorable, filled with great food, drinks, clubs, pubs, and scenery. The public transit was nearby plus easy to use.

If you like to party everyday, this is for you. With party shifts following night shifts (12-8am having to stay awake), you will most likely be always tired and then chastised for being hungover on shift. If a guest is rude, inappropriate, or even physically assaults you (I got hit), it is brushed under the rug as to not negatively impact reviews. If you speak up about these, you quickly realize you are treated as the bottom rung of the ladder, as “immature”, as disposable, and with little to no recognition for the work you put in (receps get $ to pry good reviews from guests).

The hostel is very social with lots of activities, events, and free dinners, putting guests first. However, this sometimes harms volunteers. One night, a guest was inappropriate towards a girl (another guest) and hit a volunteer. The manager ignored the incident and sided with the guest, claiming we were too young and "immature" to handle it. We later learned they prioritize good reviews, incentivising $$ receptionists to get 5 stars, leading them to let the guest stay despite our discomfort. Work was very intense too, with gruelling hours and they were very dismissive of our tiredness.
