I had such wonderful. Eri is always busy, but she was always thinking about everyone and made adjustments for us multiple times. She is a very bright, energetic, and lovely person. Nico is calm, and whenever I had trouble, he was always there to help. This hostel has a very family-like atmosphere where you can get really close to the guests. There is also a café attached, and many local staff work together here. They are all very friendly, and we often went to the beach or had meals together. Even though I couldn't speak Spanish, everyone was kind and welcoming. LOVE you all.

My time spent at the hostel volunteering at Palto Café was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel at home thanks to Nico, Eri, and Dario. Los the hostel hosts a stunning night sky, incredible landscapes, and undoubtedly charming people. The work at the café is simple, the atmosphere is warming, and it is situated with a beautiful view right across the street from the shore. Overall was a terrific experience, and I look forward to returning during the summertime. Thankful for the wonderful staff for helping me create an experience I'll never forget. ❤️

The exchange is one of the most favourable I've come across with a great quality staff room and equipment you can use. The work is very fair and they are extremely adaptable to your preferences. The team is made up of some of the most caring managers and staff you could ask for, and it's a really sweet experience to share. Unfortunately, due to a change in personal circumstances, I had to leave early, but I couldn't have asked for a better response from the owners and managers, who truly care about everyone who walks through the door. Thank you for the support everyone <3
