I volunteered for a week and a half at Black Swan Hostel in Seville, helping to keep the common areas tidy and assisting with room cleaning. The atmosphere was lively and sometimes challenging, which helped me improve my adaptability and teamwork skills. I enjoyed connecting with volunteers from different countries, practicing languages, and learning new ways of working. Special thanks to the manager, Diego, for his guidance and support during my first volunteering experience.

The Black Swan is certainly the place to be! The tasks are straightforward, well-explained, and easy to perform. If there are any questions any of the staff members or fellow volunteers are happy to help. Shoutout to Ayla and Alex, who were particularly helpful during my stay. The project is flexible and its up to you to make what you want out of this experience, so feel encouraged to be proactive at the job but also on how you spend your free time. Coming to the Black Swan has allowed me live very unique experiences and make friends from all over the world. I would return in a heartbeat!

This was my first volunteering experience and I cannot be more happier! There is not enough word that I can write about this experience. Diego the manager was great and always ready to help. Alex, Ramon and Santi from the reception made this whole volunteering more fun! The room is small, but it's manageable because the rest of the volunteers were always ready for an agreement and they were all nice. Shifts are great, it's a balance of fun and a bit of work :)

This wass my first volunteering experience and I definetly can recommend. Black Swan Hostel is an amazing hostel to meet with fellow travellers and its a really nice place to stay. I liked that you have enough time to really get to know Seville and you don't have to rush to every tourist attraction. I liked my team and I made some actual friends that I definetly will see again. (Little Tip: Watch you're phone better that I did in Seville)

I had an amazing experience at the black Swan hostel!! At first you might find everything a little bit overwhelming but after a day or two you will feel completely at home!! Diego is a great host and is always willing to listen to requests about scheduling and stuff like that! I also loved all the other volunteers, they really have become great friends of mine:) the shifts have a lot of variety and they are never to demanding, so overall really chill! I am so grateful for this opportunity in which I could explore the amazing city that Sevilla is and also practice my Spanish!
