I had a great time at Gijón the hostel. The host was super friendly, always understanding, flexible and easy to talk to. I immediately felt welcome as I entered and got along with everyone so well, other volunteers as well as guests. Even new friendships were formed as the Hostel is very social and there are loads of opportunities to meet others and enjoy activities. All in all I can highly recommend this experience and I'm excited to come back one day ! Thank you !! 🖤

Like most of the other reviews I had an amazing time in the hostel. If you someone who likes to socialize and be close to the water I would %1000 recommend this place. I had so much fun and made so many lasting memories! As for the work it is very straightforward and easy. Hopefully I'll come back in the future!!

Volunteering at Gijón the hostel was one of the best experiences I've ever had! From day one, the team made me feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is super friendly, international, and full of positive energy — perfect for anyone who loves the surf lifestyle. As a surf instructor volunteer, I had the chance to teach amazing people from all over the world, improve my Spanish, and spend every day by the ocean. The hostel is well organized, and full of good vibes. The location is unbeatable — just a few minutes' walk from the beach and close to everything in Gijón.
