Best experience ever! I couldn't have asked for a better place or better people. The hostel is amazing -just a few steps from the ocean- and the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and full of good vibes: I felt immediately at home. Paul, the manager, is extremely caring and always willing to help. I had a wonderful time with the other volunteers and with guests. It's super easy to socialize thanks to the international and open minded environment. The tasks are really simple, everything is well organised and you get plenty of free time to surf and explore the island. I truly recommend it!

Best Volunteering! The tasks are well explained and fair. You can get free lessons fairly easily too; I started and fell in love with the sport here. The location is perfect for surfing, in a city with many buses to hike around the rest of the island. Paul the manager is the best manager you'll probably ever see! Mostly, he makes us feel very welcome and safe. Thomas the owner is great! So is his eco-farm. This was an amazing experience for me; I learned a lot socially and gained a lot of confidence. Bringing a positive, energetic attitude is best :D you'll have a great time!

The best youth hostel I've ever been to ! A big thank you to Paul (the manager) and Thomas (the owner) for welcoming me to the hostel at the last minute. I was supposed to stay for 1 month but ended up extending my volunteering because I felt so at home there ! The team is super friendly and positive. I loved the atmosphere at the hostel ! It's THE ideal place to discover surfing with the free lessons you get. I met some great people and improved my English and Spanish with the staff and travelers. I can 100% recommend this place ! I was very lucky, thank you !

My time at the hostel was lovely, I met so many interesting people and made excellent friends along the way. All of the shifts are very well distributed, tasks are simple and fair, the hostel's vibes are great. Mister Paul is a really good manager with great communication and problem solving skills, I felt very safe and was happy to call this space my home for a month. There is so much to do around, best location ever!

I only have great things to say about the hostel. I'd even dare to say it's the best hostel on the island, having stayed as a guest in others. The manager, Paul, is a wonderful person and open to talk to about anything. (I've had tons of jobs and volunteering experiences, and it's rare to find a manager like him.) I've had a good with the other volunteers, and I met people at the hostel that I'm sure I'll see again in the future. The location couldn't be more perfect. Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
