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.

My time at the hostel was amazing! From day one, I felt like part of the family. I learned to surf, practiced my English, rode bikes and skateboards, went partying, did some hiking, and tried so many other fun activities. The hostel has such a great vibe, and the people there are just awesome. I'm leaving with so many friends, happy memories, and experiences I'll never forget. I'd definitely return to the hostel and the hostel! 🌊🏄‍♂️💙

I volunteered at Gijón the hostel for a month and it quickly became home, since day one I felt part of the family. Shifts were 5 hours a day and rotated, with 2 days off each week, so there was plenty of time to explore. I learned to surf, made amazing friends, and created so many memories. The hostel is a cozy house just a short walk to the coast, with bikes available anytime. Most days I spent walking, swimming, surfing, cooking with friends, or going out to the center. Gijón and the hostel will always have a piece of my heart, it was so fun and full of good vibes.

I volunteered at Gijón the hostel taking care of the social media and it was such a fun and unforgettable experience! The team is super friendly and made me feel at home from the very first day. I got to do something I enjoy, improve my skills, and at the same time meet amazing people from all over the world. Spending my summer there was the best decision and I wouldn't change it for anything!

The pace of life here is very leisurely. Our work is simple and reasonable. I think we couldn't complain about anything . From the first day I arrived, I felt that everyone was very friendly and eager to help me fit in. I learned a lot here and had some invaluable experiences, especially for being a Taiwanese girl, I always felt like I was in an incredible dream. Thanks for Mareike for chosing me!
