Amazing experience. The host is very communicative and open to talk to ensure everybody is accommodate and comfortable. Hours are respected and can be switched upon conversation. The hostel is very cozy, with good amenities and facilities. I was there in low season but still had the chance to surf a little bit. The volunteers were an amazing team and made the whole experience even better. Breakfast was good and the host provided pizza once a week aside from other small "perks." I would recommend it to anyone that wants to chill, be close to the beach and city at the same time.

This is my first volunteering experience abroad, and it's been amazing! I've met so many great people- other volunteers, travelers, and locals. This hostel truly feels like a second home, and I'm so grateful for this experience. I honestly didn't know what to expect from my first volunteer experience, but I don't know if another place could top this one. I hope to return here in the future, because it really has been great! Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

My experience with the hostel was a blast. I felt very welcomed by the host. He was very kind and willing to work with me if I had any questions. He was willing to be flexible with the work schedule. Everybody I worked with was amazing. The Hostel was also close enough to the city to walk and if you didn't want to do that there were bikes offered or you could take the bus since the bus station was less than a 5 min walk from the Hostel. The work was pretty reasonable though it was pretty light around the off season. I would definitely come back to work here again.

These two months were more than incredible, more than unforgettable. This place will always have a special place in my heart. I got some true friends. Tried surfing - completely fell in love with it! Improved my spanish a lot! Learned so much about myself, others and life generally! And just felt so at home! Ezequiel is honestly the best manager you could wish for. He really puts his energy, attention, time and care to make you and the whole team feel as good and as comfortable as possible. Thank you GSH for being a home away from home! Until we see each other again! Muchas gracias por todo! ♡
