My volunteering experience at the hostel was absolutely amazing! From the very start I felt welcomed by the other volunteers and permanent staff members. At any time there are about 8 volunteers so it is incredibly social and creates such a nice sense of community. There is so much to do and see in the area, beaches, the old town, bars, etc. Bikes are available for free so you can ride everywhere around town. I worked in housekeeping and the hours were great. You work 5hrs so you have the whole first or second half of the day to do what you want. Loved this experience, highly recommend

Those five weeks that I spent in Gijón the hostel was the most fun and exciting period of my life. No words are enough to describe the heartwarming feeling of having created so many lifelong friends during this experience. The hostel is such a cozy and welcoming place and Asturias is one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous places I've ever visited. Work times and duties are respected and even when sometimes things don't go exactly as planned, you can just voice your opinion during the team meetings and you will be heard and respected. Would definitely recommend!!

Giannis was an absolute joy to have at the hostel! Always kind, positive, and great to work with. He brought such good energy to the team and made the most of his time here. We’re grateful for everything and would happily welcome him back anytime!

Volunteering at the hostel has been an amazing experience. This was my first volunteer experience and it couldn't have been any better. If you want a mix of fun and relaxation this is the place. Merika is very organised and communicates great with the volunteers. I was lucky enough to have an amazing group of volunteers which made this experience so special. I would say having a basic level of Spanish is recommended and would make your job easier however it's not required! Overall I 1000% recommend this experience ❤️ I miss my Spanish family already 🇪🇸❤️

Volunteering at Gijón the hostel was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better start. From the beginning, everything was clear and well-organized. The shifts and tasks were exactly as agreed, manageable, and with enough free time to enjoy the area and connect with people. It was a great way to meet travelers from all over the world and to bond with the other volunteers. I'm really grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend this place to anyone considering their first volunteer experience! 💜☀️

My experience at the hostel has been amazing. This is the right place where you can prove yourself and learn so many things. I met a lot of wonderful and kind people from all over the world and we had a great time together. Sometimes the shifts were busy and hard, but all in all you can afford them. The manager was kind and she was super available to help or listen to you if there were some problems. I Will never forget this experience ☀️
