The month I spent at GSH was one of the best experiences I've had. From the very first day, I truly felt at home. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the people — from the manager to the other volunteers — brought such great energy. The hostel offers plenty of activities, whether you're relaxing in a hammock, playing billiards in the reception area, or watching a movie with others. But the highlight for me was surfing. Thanks to the hostel, I discovered a new passion. The lessons were both fun and helpful, and the overall vibe made the experience unforgettable.

Volunteering at Gijón the hostel was an incredible experience! My highlights were surfing, learning Spanish, hanging out with the other volunteers, and enjoying the amazing nature of Asturias. The work was simple and work hours were well respected. The work schedule is on a rotating basis while considering and expressed preferences. Plenty of free time to take advantage of the surf boards, bikes, and other amenities! Everything you could need is very accessible via the bikes provided. I would absolutely recommend this experience if you are interested in surfing and learning Spanish!

Foi meu primeiro voluntário e não Poderia começar melhor, foi uma experiência que mudou minha forma de ver a vida, fazendo com que eu queira sempre fazer um novo projeto voluntário. Minha experiência como instrutor de surf foi incrível e melhorou muito minha comunicação, principalmente o espanhol. Só tenho a agradecer pela oportunidade que tive ao conhecer esse voluntariado, gratidão por tudo 🧡🔥

I came to Gijón not knowing exactly what to expect. At first, I was a little bit nervous, but everything fell into place and this turned out to be a great experience. I'm writing this review from the bus station as I'm about to leave, and I wish I could stay longer. Mareike (manager) really cares about the volunteers, Ivan (handy man) is always there to lend a hand and have fun with us, and the volunteers (and Tete).... Man, they became friends in such a short time, I feel sad leaving. Schedule: respected Location: easy bike ride into town Room: in hostel, shared w ~7 volunteers Gracias!!

This was my first World Packers trip and I was blown away! I got to meet so many amazing people and create life long memories. I came with the purpose to learn more Spanish and I was able to practice everyday and learn so much. The Hostel is very clean and the hostel is a very special city. I was able to improve my surfing and also got to explore the city with the hostel bikes. I worked as the handy man and got to paint a lot of the house with Ivan. Mareike was an amazing host that made me feel at home since day 1 of being there and overall I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I genuinely had the time of my life. I immediately felt at home here. The other volunteers and guests I met were incredibly kind and genuine. I had so much fun working on social media, and I would strongly recommend this opportunity to anyone in marketing who's looking to take a career break or travel. It's also an amazing place to learn Spanish and try surfing! I can't say enough good things about the Gijón the hostel. ¡Muchas gracias por invitarme!

My stay in GSH was great, the hostel is an amazing city, the hostel is a big house, with everything you need, it's easy to feel at home, i was there during the low season, so it was a bit more chill, the work was very easy, there are a lot of activities to do with the other volunteers and the guests, like surfing, biking, doing sports or going out to party, a had a lot of fun, and i truly recommend

This experience was one of the best because you are located a little outside the city, yet you are right next to the boardwalk. With the bikes provided, you can take them into the city or if you want to be more secluded, just go the other direction. I met amazing volunteers and locals as well. Loved this experience and highly recommend!

The hostel was my first volunteering experience and I wouldn't have asked for anything more! The hosts were super welcoming and created fantastic vibes. The overall vibe of the whole hostel was just like one big family (with guests, volunteers and management). Being the low season tasks were simple, with different tasks to help get the hostel ready for the high season. I have created memories at this place that will stay with me for a lifetime.

The hostel is rated so highly on worldpackers for a reason! I had a great start to my year volunteering at GSH. I met so many open and interesting volunteers and guests and Gijón is a perfectly sized city with enough to do. The work itself is well organised and was very calm during off season. Mareike, the manager and Ivan, the handyman are great at what they do. The main beach is about 15 mins away but you need just 5 mins through a park to get a view of the ocean along the cliff. Highly recommended!!
