I spent an amazing month in sunny Gran Canaria & would definitely recommend this experience as I got to see the entire island during my stay, get into surfing and most importantly make friends for life!🫶🏼🌊 However the hostel itself could definitely be improved in a few areas. The work itself is definitely manageable but not to be underestimated as some shifts were quite stressful. Otherwise, the organisation needs to be improved as we weren't always able to reach the managers when we had to. Nevertheless I'd 100% recommend taking this opportunity to experience the canarian island life! 🌞

I would not recommend it as an experience, the place is run only by volunteers and is very unorganized. Things promised were not respected, some tasks were not among those agreed and since I was traveling in pairs we were not given free time together. In my opinion, the workload was too much compared to what they offer, that is, a bed in a dormitory and no food.

The experience was okay for me but only because of the people I met there. I came as a couple with my friend and we both were in the hostel team. The only people working there are volunteers, they don't have normal staff. The volunteers run the whole hostel, they clean apartments outside the hostel and they do construction. In the end we were 2 people in the hostel team always on different shifts, no freetime together. You don't feel safe, there were no locks at the doors, so one night a guy wanted to rob us and we had issues with people stealing food. You work way too much for what you get.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel - the other volunteers were amazing and we all had a great time. I was on the apartments team and Manu was a lovely manager - always friendly, kind and helpful with tasks. One thing i would note to those planning to stay here is the hostel sometimes felt quite unsafe - no locks on dorm rooms so anyone could come in & there were some crazy guests staying while we were there. Something to note for the management team - it did feel like we were giving more than we were getting out of the experience. Free meals etc wouldve made it more fair.

Overall, this hostel was a great experience! There were around 20 volunteers and we became close very quickly! It was my first ever Worldpackers trip and it was a great one. I met so many amazing people and made a family away from home! I met people from all over the world and we had some amazing experiences together. The only thing that I would say needs to be improved about the hostel is the management. There is no real manager for the hostel, and things are a bit unorganized, but other than this everyone was so nice, respectful and fun!
