I spent 7 days at the hostel, but I wish I stayed even longer! It was a lovely, relaxing and collaborating experience! It was intense and I know that these memories will last forever. The housework was quick and easy. Mostly changing bedsheets, hosting pilgrims, doing dishes,.. We could handle our own schedule and it was really flexible! I learned to work efficiently as a team. I met wonderful girls and we really enjoyed moving around, going to beaches, hiking in the forest,… Kelly, the host, is welcoming, respectful and kind! Thanks for everything , so long :) Chloé

Im so happy that i chose this place! host Kelly was the nicest and welcoming person and gave us a lot of freedom as the season in the hostel wasn't open yet. i enjoyed talking to the international pilgrims as well, as the hostel is actually an albergue, not the hostel as announced. about the surf - to get to the beach you'll need to walk for 30 min or hitchhike - that's what i did:) there's place where you can rent a board and take surf lessons, it's not free. the nature is stunning but you have to be ready that there's no supermarket in the village. thank you so much !!!

The location is absolutely beautiful – surrounded by nature and stunning beaches. You'll be walking a lot. The nearest supermarket is around 40 minutes on foot, so I recommend bringing some snacks with you. Food is provided, though dinner is usually served quite late, which might take some getting used to. Kelly is very kind and welcoming, and the children are lovely to be around. However, Enrique made a few strange or inappropriate comments about another woman, which affected the atmosphere at times. Overall, the location is beautiful.

Stella The most important thing is how much we enjoyed ourselves together in such a beautiful place. A misunderstood comment shouldn’t overshadow the experience; in the end, what truly matters is keeping an open mind and making the most of all the good moments we shared here. We look forward to seeing you in Austria—our doors are always open. With more than 500 volunteers, there are more than 500 ways to interpret the same comment!

Positive: -amazing volunteers from all over the world, cultural exchange -interesting conversations with the hostel pilgrims while at reception -breathtaking location with beaches in walking distance -flexible 4-hour shifts, lots of free time negative: -tasks often not clearly explained, causing confusion -Enrique(host), made sexist, offensive comments to a fellow volunteer girl I would have rated this experience 4.5 stars but because of Enrique's behavior which is absolutely unacceptable and should not be tolerated in a volunteer setting, I feel I must lower my rating to 2 stars.

I had a great time volunteering, the location is great with nature and stunning beaches. The volunteering group was so great and I felt welcomed. You need to be very flexible because organisation is chaotic and some details on site don't match reality. There were slight problems with the food (very basic and repetitive). There were bigger problems with the host, because through his actions he seemed to view volunteers as a lower category of people and he made some very sexist comments to a fellow volunteer which left me shocked. Before that I would've given it 4 stars but this was too much

Camila , Over the years, we have welcomed more than 500 volunteers, each with their own point of view. Due to differences in language, culture, age, and personal circumstances, it is normal to have a wide variety of opinions about the same situation, as if seen from 360 degrees of perspective. What may seem white to one person might be black or gray to another, and this diversity enriches the experience.
We are glad you enjoyed everything,

I felt very disrespected and undervalued. Great nature and great other volunteers. However, Enrique treats people badly and says “not to take it personally”, makes pressure to finish tasks fast even if there's nothing else to do later, asks for very nonsense tasks, speaks about the female volunteers in a sexualized way and seems to purposely choose bad food for the volunteers. I had a very bad experience at the kitchen after he was forcing me to talk about my love life, then made me say a coworker looked handsome, talked about my legs and when I was stretching said “I'm still a man.Haha”

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel. The tasks were simple and did not take much time. The host was very flexible with working hours so we could do what we wanted during the day. He went above beyond his duties to make me have a great experience. The scenery is incredible and I will forever remember my time here!

The experience at this hostel was the best I could expect and this is thanks to the host, Enrique. He took care of us like a father, was funny like a friend, worked with us like a leader and gave us life advices like a wiseman. The Hostel is on the hostel di the hostel where you can meet interesting different pilgrims everyday and it is also not far from the beach where you can have a discount for the surf lesson, also that was amazing. Thanks to this experience I have grown a lot and I will carry with me everything I have learned.

Fantastic place and good people, very remote though getting around is not very easy but hitch hiking worked okay and walking was fun. The host Enrique is a wonderful man, he gave me some meaningful advice I'll carry with me in life, very thankful for this experience :)
