I had a really really good time at the hostel! The work was very doable and you get a clear schedule before every new week. Alessia was a super considerate and kind manager, and as she might be leaving: I hope they will find a new manager who will live up to her. You can travel anywhere on the island, the hostel has really good bus connections. The only thing I will say is that the owners do not care so much about the upkeep of the place, they choose not to invest in cockroach repellant or renew certain facilities, which makes the jobs of the volunteers (and manager) a bit frustrating sometimes.

A beautiful place to work and make friends. The work is more than fair with good shift times. Manage helped me so much when I got sick. The hostel has a gorgeous garden to chill, and are right beside bus station. Highly recommend ♥️

The hostel was the best, first volunteering experience I could have ever imagined! The manager was very kind and caring and the vibration of the hostel was awesome. I felt at home and the time passed very quickly. I was helped with any questions and never felt alone. I can recommend the place to anyone looking for a social and warm hearted place :)

I had a really great time at the hostel. It was truly a fun experience for my first Worldpackers trip. The island is beautiful, and I met many nice people to explore it with. The work was also pretty easy and fair :)

Tasks: cleaning bathrooms, sweeping and mopping floors, changing beds sheets, cleaning kitchen, check-ins. The hours are well respected (4 working days and 3 days off per week) The hostel (the hostel): some weird guests and a lot of long-term guests. In the end it creates a nice family community. There's also a great connection between the volunteers from the whole chain (Columbus Hostel and Compass Hostel). I missed that a manager could teach me the tasks upon arrival. But when I arrived the manager was Alessia, and when I left Michelle had just taken over, maybe things will change

I enjoyed my time at the hostel, definitely an experience where the people made the place and I wouldn't have enjoyed my stay if it hadnt of been for the lovely friends I made. I had health problems during this trip and Im really appreciative of the host making sure I had days off when needed. On the other hand there is very much a boss/volunteers divide and I found that the host of the volunteers was very disconnected from the 'family' and you could sense she was disillusioned with her role.

My stay at the hostel was great, mostly due to the amazing volunteers. :) Alessia is an amazing and welcoming manager, and is very understanding and flexible when it comes to work. I do think that the hours on worldpackers should be updated, as it's more 27 hours per week, 4 shifts a 6.15 hours. The work is easy and the hostel is located right in the center of Las Palmas. They could improve their facilities (bathrooms specifically), but I understand that renovations are expensive. Overall, I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to escape the cold winter!!

Hi Leah, thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear you had a great time at Jungle House. Just to clarify, the 27.5 hours per week includes the 30-minute daily breaks, which means the actual work hours are 25 hours per week. We truly appreciate your hard work and dedication during your stay. It was a pleasure having you, and I will definitely recommend you to other hosts. Thanks again for everything!
