It was honestly one of the best experiences I've ever done. I stayed at the hostel for one month but it seemed sooo short. Erika and Nerea are so welcoming and kind. They do everything to make you feel at home. Whats more, doing this volonteering has helped me improving my spanish and my english! The area around the hostel is so nice, you can go surfing or hiking. Honestly I recommend to everyone who wants to live a fulfilling experience!!! Love yall ❤️❤️❤️

I had a truly wonderful experience at the hostel. Erika is a very welcoming and helpful host who makes sure you have a very comfortable stay there. I volunteered with three other people there who made the place feel like home. Also they pushed me a lot with speaking and improving spanish in the most positive way. Generally, the work is not hard and the hostel rather hosts pilgrims who do the camino de santiago. Therefore, you have the chance to meet a lot of different people each day and have enough free time to enjoy beautiful San Vicente. Muchas gracias por todo! 🥰

It was amazing! First about the location: if you love nature, small village's quiet vibe, hike in the mountains and surf the ocean, this is the place to be! Second, the team: I felt very lucky to meet them. Nerea, the receptionist and Erika, the owner are 2 wonderful persons. Very welcoming, kind, helping, with good and fun energy you're gonna feel at home within seconds. Then the tasks are super chill, about 3 hours maximum a day and easy to do. We have a small kitchen just for us, small rooms for the volunteers, 2 surfboards at disposal, breakfast and we are in the center. I recommend 200%!

The room me and another volunteer stayed in was a very small room within the room for the guests, without a window and the door didn't close. The living room is shared with the many pilgrims, so there's not a lot of privacy. The garden is a nice place to sit when the weather is good. The host does not try to bring the volunteers together. There's nothing arranged for the volunteers, no food, no games, plans, etc. There are surfboards to borrow, but it's about 30 min walk to the beach, so it's basically impossible to use them. Also, keep in mind that 99% of the guests are only staying one night

Hola Lucie, en el albergue hay juegos de mesa, el desayuno está incluido en vuestra estancia, y siempre tratamos de que seamos un equipo y compartir momentos de alegría juntos. Quizá el no saber español es un límite a la hora de compartir momentos juntos, ojalá que te vaya muy bien.

We're recieved in a room with bed bugs and the host knew it. we relief on that since on the next day would be a pest control. We had to disinfect our belongings but the whole situation could have been avoided. The tasks required were diferent from the WP announcement. again, we decided to relief on that and try to enjoy our time there but at some point we just felt unhappy enough to leave the expirience earlier, wich made us a sad because beside all that, Erika is good person. The main thing is that this is not a conventional hostel: is just a pitstop for pilgrins who need a one night stay.
