I had a good time on La Gomera, as I helped turn a hostel into a Coliving space😊 Doing tasks like painting, renovating, and later help with house maintenance and community activities. Despite still being in its early stages, the place is steadily improving and has an ideal location in the heart of the old town, just a five-minute walk from the beach. Rebecca, the manager, and Maria, the host, put in an effort to ensure the best experience and Rebecca's local knowledge integrates you into the culture ☺️🇮🇨 I'd definitely recommend it if you want a peaceful getaway with a taste of Gomeran life 🌴🌿

My volunteering experience at cactus coliving was amazing ! The host and the other volunteers over time felt like family ,i felt welcomed the second I got here :) The work was as described and the communication with Maria was open and honest . In our free time we did little trips around the island ,also here Maria had some recommendations for where to go, and she was supportive in answering questions ,even in her free time . I would totally recommend this experience and i would love to come back one day !🫶🏽

I had a truly great experience working at the Cactus Coliving, everything was like the job posting described. Maria the host was very welcoming, reasonable and honest to everyone. The jobs are pretty straight forward, I did lots of painting, sanding, assembling furniture, small repairs and cleaning up. I met a lot of amazing people and I was able to explore so much of the island, as well as experience the lifestyle of the Canary Islands. Lots of culture on the island and the food was top notch. I wasn't even trying to learn Spanish and still learnt a lot. Definitely coming back one day!

I stayed at the hostel for 4 weeks in November-December and had a lovely time. Since it was the "reconstruction" state of the Hostel, I did a lot of painting, sanding and general work around the house. Furthermore, I stayed in a room with another female volonteer, whereas the common rooms (gender separated) will be ready in a short period of time. Maria and Rebecca are very caring and fun to be around, showing us (me and the other 3 volonteers at the time) around the Island a bit and integrated us in the local culture with food recipes and fun facts. Thanks for having me!!
