My experience in the hostel was amazing! Nicolaas is kind and flexible, the work is simple, the sleeping arrangements are comfortable and the town is cozy. Would do again!

This was such an enriching experience. I helped cook and serve dinner for pilgrims and most importantly, I got to enjoy the mealtime conversations, all incredibly moving and inspiring. Nicolaas is a generous host who deeply cares about creating a meaningful experience for pilgrims. He values structure and efficiency, which brings a sense of purpose to each day. While his approach can feel firm at times, it's all part of ensuring everything runs smoothly. I'd highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who enjoys contributing in a purposeful way and thrives in an organized, intentional setting.

Work as a volunteer in the hostel was a great experience! Nicolas is friendly and work is quite easy. I could practice a lot of English and be in contact with people around the world. Salas is a beautiful village, with a lot of trails do go on hikes and be in contact with nature. However I decided to leave earlier because I was looking for a place to practice Spanish and Nicolas was really apprehensible. I wish all the best to the hostel and buen camino to all peregrines and volunteers.

I highly recommend it! The volunteer experience was incredible! I really enjoyed being part of the volunteer team, especially because it was something related to the Camino de Santiago. Nicolaas was always kind and attentive to me. The team of volunteers from various countries around the world was fun and welcoming. Thank you Nicolas, Cristina, Dana, Jordan and Sophie!

The opportunity to be in the albergue with Nicolaas and the team was a unique adventure in my life. I have learned so much about people, about myself, and about collective life. Nicolaas is a kind and purposeful soul that takes the albergue as his number 1 priority in life. For that, the work can become intense sometimes, but everything can be solved by talking and signaling what needs to change. Nicolaas was always very open and made sure I felt supported during my stay! Salas is a cute city, with kind people with a typical Asturias way of living.
