I loved my experience in the hostel! The hostel is really nice and everything is close by, the people that I met there were amazing and the manager Ilyas is so nice and always there if you need anything. In overall, I love the vibes in the hostel and Gran Canaria in general, I totally recommend this experience🫶🏻

My time at the hostel was great and too short. It was my first time volunteering, but since the tasks were easy and the team was super friendly, it was not difficult to feel comfortable. The hostel has a great location and everything is easy to reach. Also trips to the mountains during the days off are super doable. The only small thing that could be improved is the ventilation in the volunteer room. Otherwise, due to the never-ending spring and the other volunteers, the time just flew by. And I can only recommend the hostel to get a feeling of volunteering.

My experience at the hostel has been amazing. It was my first volunteering and I think it couldn't have been better. The hostel is really nice, so clean, new and near the historical center of Las Palmas. Also Ilyas, the manager, was really friendly, always available for any problem you could have. I had the luck of meeting great volunteers and guests I'll keep in my heart forever, as well as all the experiences I lived with them in this amazing island. Thank you the hostel🫶🏼

This was my first volunteering experience and it was absolutely amazing for me. The hostel is super new and clean, the position is really good (1 minute to the supermarket, 5-10 min to the principal bus station, there are a lot of shops around the hostel). You need the bus to go to the beach every time but there's a good discount at the surf school for the volunteers. I had so much fun with the other volunteers both from the hostel and the other hostels. Ilyas the manager is super nice and always ready to help you. I really would have stayed longer if I could. Best hostel and best experience!!!

Amazing experience. The hostel is really clean and modern, perfect position in the historic center and 1 min near a supermarket(fundamental). To get to the beach is really easy and fast, by bus/sitycleta it takes about 15/20 min. The manager is really nice and polite, always available also for recommendations. The hostel gives to the volounteers some discounts for different services, such as surfing lessons, car/bike rental, ecc… also free accommodations for some hostels around Gran Canaria. The island is amazing and you can always find something to do, the work is very easy and chill. 10/10

My experience was really positive, the team and the facilities were all lovely. The hostel itself was clean and modern and situated in close to the old town which is beautiful and it's a short bus journey to the beach. Ilyas was a good manager, and made some recommendations for time in Gran Canaria which was really helpful, and he was very supportive in answering questions even when on holiday (sorry!) One downside is it does get very warm in the hostel as there is no aircon or outward facing windows in the dorm but it was bearable. Overall a great experience

I'm so happy to have spent a month in the hostel :) the hostel is new, the volunteers room is also very comfortable, the shifts are okay and you have a lot of time to explore the island. The hostel is in the centre of the city, so you have everything you could need nearby and, even if I'm not really a city person, the other volunteers and the manager made things nicer :)

It was my first experience as a volunteer and It was amazing! The hostel is new with a beautiful relaxing rooftop. I really enjoyed the volunteers' team and we had the possibility to spend time together during our days off. The manager is very handy, it was easy to communicate with him and he is always available to help you. I met a lot of new people with whom I had the opportunity to practice my English and share some experience! I loved the island, the weather, the vibe.

This experience did not go well for me. I signed up to go to the the hostel and this is where I went for the first couple days of my stay. It was a nice place with nice people. But then it went down hill when they made me clean up bed bugs at a different hostel of theirs. Then, they said they made a mistake and I was actually supposed to work at a different hostel of theirs so I had to move. This other hostel was very run down and old and had a lot of cockroaches and it was not where I agreed to work! It was very unpleasant. Then I found bed bug bites on my arms!! I left early.

Mi experiencia en el hostel ha sido muy buena en términos generales, adaptarme a las tareas fue fácil y los voluntarios explicaban todo para guiarte con las responsabilidades. En cuanto a la estadía y la comodidad podría mejorarse ya que los voluntarios dormimos en una habitación sin luz y sin ventana. Para mí faltó un poco el compromiso y la responsabilidad de la seguridad de los voluntarios cuando han habido momentos de incomodidad y algunos problemas con huéspedes o los propios voluntarios. Ha sido una experiencia muy bonita y con cosas a mejorar.
