The experiencie at the hostel was amazing! I absolutely recommend this experience to other People. The tasks were not hard, we took care of the hostel and the guests, some activities of cleaning, and the most funny part was going to the farm and learn about permaculture, work in the land and planting. The rooms are very comfortable, you share it with other volunteers. Alban is a very nice person and is always teaching you about nature and permaculture. I met beaituful souls. I'm so glad I came with my friend.

My volunteering experience was incredible. Albano was really kind and helped me with everything I needed. It was my first time volunteering at a hostel, and the work was very easy — I felt completely satisfied. We planned parties with the other volunteers, and I had the chance to meet amazing people from all over the world. Also loved that before or after work, I could go swimming at the beach or explore the town and enjoy some personal time. I would recommend this volunteering experience to anyone who wants to meet new people, focus on self-development, or simply take a break and relax.

My volunteering experience with Albano and his family was wonderful. They welcomed me warmly and made me feel at home from the first day. The tasks were clear and fair, and I always felt respected and valued. Albano is a very communicative and supportive host, and his family is kind and friendly, which created a positive and comfortable environment. I truly appreciated the cultural exchange and the chance to learn and share experiences. Highly recommended!

I had the best experience at the hostel. Albano and Maryam are the best of people! I would recommend this to any traveler that loves a social time and even some permaculture! The hostel itself is an incredible space and the hosts make your stay such a spectacular experience! Don't miss out on this place.

The hostel was a great place to volunteer. I met lots of travellers and amazing people. The tasks were quite simple , I worked at reception, did some cleaning, and also helped with gardening on a farm about 30 minutes away by car (Alban drove us). I'm really happy I could give a hand here; it's a very interesting project and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.
