The hostel has been one of the Best Volunteering experience for me ! the hostel location is perfect and it sticks to it's hours of service and facilities. The bar shifts are fun and the food is great 😃 ! And you can pub crawl literally everyday ! You will be always full in the hostel with food and fun ! The Bosses are just like the boss you want in your life - Hard on the beginning and fun in the evening 🫣 !!! The only thing Missing would be more activities to do ! But if you want to chill it's great 😸

The hostel was my third time volunteering at a hostel and my absolute favorite. I stayed here for 3,5 month. The staff I worked with are all beautiful and cooperative. When I had to go to Spanish class they did their best to adapt to my working schedule. The tasks such as cooking dinner and bartending were fun and I learned new things. I connected with a lot of travelers from all over the world, both volunteering colleagues and hostel guests. We had a lot of fun nights out together and events at the hostel such as Halloween. Honestly, couldn't have been better. Totally recommend this🫶

By far, the best volunteering I never did in my life ! Everything was amazing. The staff was so kind and so funny. The manager always tried to schedule conveniently the shifts for everyone. The tasks are very easy. the hostel is very social, with a vibrant atmosphere, and perfectly located. the hostel family got my heart ! Thanks for everything. Malaga is also a very nice city, very well located in Spain so you can travel around Andalousia easily during your volunteering. I highly recommend this hostel to everyone who is looking for a social volunteering !
