My experience was really good here! I met amazing people and even friends for life here! The work load was very manageable and you had lots of free time to explore Gran Canaria, I would recommend!

What a great experience! It was my first time volunteering and from day one I felt like I made the right decision. The hostel itself is an older building with some smaller defects here or there, but definetly a cozy a welcoming place with great staff. I was working in construction - I didn't apply for it, but they needed people there and I enjoyed the tasks way more than the cleaning-team's ones. My manager - Juan - was a cool and flexible guy, with whom it was always easy to work with. I found friends from all over the world and managed to drastically imrpove my Spanish. Definetly recommend!

I stayed at Compass Hostel, and I absolutely loved my experience!! I met volunteers from all over the world and learned so much. Ilyas was a great manager and our group of volunteers had so much fun. I wish I could have stayed longer. The company owns 3 hostels (Compass/the hostel/Jungle Hostels) so they may switch you depending on their needs. If you want to clarify where you will be staying you might want to reach out multiple times to the owners. Try to take the time to meet volunteers from the other hostels too, it was so fun meeting everyone and making friends!

SO much fun! I had an amazing time with the other volunteers and management team. This was a wonderful experience. You have to be okay with living in tight quarters with others (and I bought a fan to help me sleep better), but I have no complaints. I enjoyed using the projector in the hostel to have movie nights, I loved the family dinners each week, I have the best memories!!!

I worked for a month at Compass House where Ilyas is a manager - he's a brilliant guy who has tried to make my stay as best as possible even when there were misunderstandings with the guests. The assigned tasks are standard as in any hostel, but if you don't have time to do some part of the work, you can easily agree with the team to transfer some part of it to the next shift. The coolest thing is that you can, through existing partnerships with other hostels, travel around the island on your days off. it will definitely make your experience even more exciting;)

In the two months I spent in the hostel I was lucky to meet many volunteers who became my family. Managers and volunteers have made my experience memorable. There are severals teams to choose from: apartments, buildings and reception. In each of these you can manage your own commitments and free time. You will share every single moment with the other people of the hostel and for this you will create intense bonds and live unique experiences My heart remained in the hostel and with my beloved international friends

I would say your experience depends on the people you meet. I met amazing friends from all over the world and loved my stay. The 6 weeks here passed by in a breeze. Because it was low season the work was very chill and easy, my manager, Elisa, is a lovely person and always tried to make us feel as comfortable as possible! 10/10 recommend

My experience at the hostel was amazing. The hostel attracts a really nice crowd of people and the other volunteers became a family. It was hard to leave. Ramiro was my boss and he was a super nice guy. Las Palmas is also amazing and very slow paced with amazing weather even in february. I will come back to the hostel in the future and enjoy. I wish dan en seb good luck in the future with their amazing hostels.
