Social Party Intern in BARCELONA!! 🌈

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.

I would recommend this to someone that really likes to party everyday and socialize 24/7, where you live you don't have a kitchen so basically you spend all day in the shared space in the hostel. My experience wasn't great because I arrived in the middle of unresolved chaos between management and volunteers, otherwise I think it would've been a great experience. Guests are really cool to meet.

Fiquei 4 semanas no One Fam e conheci pessoas maravilhosas ( em grande parte outros voluntários ) que fizeram minha estadia indescritível! Você fica em um flat a 3 minutos do hostel que realmente a proposta é só dormir lá pois não tem internet nem cozinha. E talvez você acabe trabalhando mais do que 25h em algumas semanas. Acredito que a experiência de maneira geral contribuiu muito para o meu desenvolvimento mas também grande parte não teria sido tão boa sem as pessoas incríveis que conheci. No final da experiência tive um desentendimento com o anfitrião.

Ana worked 16 shifts over the course of her 4 week stay, averaging 24 hrs of work per week. The dissagreement was that she left before her agreed leaving date giving us little notice and refused to complete her final shift, which she had agreed previosly to do so, resulting in another member of the team (one of the other 'wonderful' volunteers) having to take her shift. Very dissapointing work ethic and commitment to her promises.

-----------------------------------

Ana trabalhou em 16 turnos ao longo de sua estadia de 4 semanas, com uma média de 24 horas de trabalho por semana. O desacordo foi que ela saiu antes da data de saída acordada, nos avisando com pouca antecedência, e se recusou a completar seu último turno, o que ela havia concordado anteriormente, fazendo com que outro membro da equipe (um dos outros voluntários “maravilhosos”) tivesse que assumir seu turno. A ética de trabalho e o compromisso com suas promessas são muito decepcionantes.

After I arrived in Barcelona, they made a last minute change that I would work at another hostel instead of the one I had agreed to. I had no choice but to go there, but people weren't prepared for me to come, and at first I didn't feel welcomed. Volunteers stayed in flats, not hostels, and the kitchens and showers don't work so I had to work 15 minutes every day just to shower at the hostel. It's fun if you like drinking, partying, and socialising 24/7 but it could get quite exhausting.

Great place to connect with people from all over the world. The hostel is very well structured and has many group activities, which allows you to meet lots of people and make lots of friends. The people are amazing and make you feel at home, I highly recommend it!
