I really had the best two months at the hostel. I loved everything about this precious experience. Firstly, the incredibly lovely and funny managers Sergio, Pedro and Merche, who make you feel at home right away. On the other hand, the many other volunteers with whom I made friends. We all went out a lot together, played games and had fun or watched films and relaxed. All in all, the atmosphere at the hostel was just super relaxed and great and I would really advice everyone to apply to volunteer at this hostel! Thank you so much for everything, I will definitely be back!

My time at the hostel was very fun. I was a little uncomfortable for the first 3-4 days. But thenI got used to everyone and everything. After that it was smooth sailing, the work was not complicated, the sleeping arrangements were a little ruff, nothing terrible though, and the location was perfect. I was treated as great as I could have been as well. In all it was a amazing experience and I recomend 100%.

EBH became my home away from home, and I would not change this experience for the world. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with this place so hard and fast, but that's difficult after creating so many beautiful memories with such exceptional people. Sergio and Pablo are super friendly, understanding, and welcoming. They are very clear with their communication and expectations while keeping things super fun and light hearted. The work and hours were very acceptable and even enjoyable. I can definitely see myself coming back to EBH one day, and really hope that I do. Thank you for having me <3
