All the time that I stayed in Black swan was amazing, the way they treated the volunteers is an example for any volunteer project, thank you for every single person I met and places we've been, moments like those will be remembered forever. Thank you Barcelona.

I really enjoyed my time at Black Swan Barcelona and I'm grateful for all the amazing memories I made there. The atmosphere was super fun and social, and I met a lot of great people from all around the world. The work itself was manageable and not too stressful, which left enough time to explore the city. One thing that could be improved is the room as well as the communication about the daily tasks, which was sometimes a bit confusing. Apart from that, it was a really nice experience overall, and i already miss everyone.

Helin was a lovely volunteer at Black Swan Barcelona. She was friendly, communicative, and always willing to interact with guests, creating a great atmosphere in the hostel.

At times she showed some mood changes that could lead to small misunderstandings, but overall she was kind, responsible, and pleasant to have on the team.

We wish her all the best in her next adventures! 🌻

Black swan is a really unique & cozy hostel. After getting to know the staff and vibe, it felt like home. It's very central and close to pretty much everything. You'll never run out of interesting stories or things to do. Lucas is very understanding and respectful. I really enjoyed my time here and would love to be welcomed back.
