We are looking for self-motivated, friendly, and reliable volunteers for a minimum commitment of one month. Your energy and positive attitude are key to creating a great guest experience.
What you will be doing:
-Customer Service & Guest Relations: Welcoming guests, handling check-in/out, distributing keys, facilitating daily guest services and activities (yoga, surf lessons, etc.), and being the main source of information (WiFi, local tips, hostel rules, etc.).
-Hostel Maintenance: Ensuring the common areas, cafe/bar, and accommodations (dorms, suites, and tiny homes) are clean and organized. This includes sweeping, mopping, washing dishes, cleaning ovens/fridges, and sometimes sanitizing bathrooms and making beds.

Hours: Maximum 24 hours per week.

What you'll get:
-We offer our volunteers a comfortable and friendly living environment, ensuring you have the energy to surf and explore! You will be provided with a comfortable bed in a shared volunteer or staff dormitory room at the hostel. The room is clean, secure, air conditioned, and has access to shared bathroom facilities and lockers.
-You will have full access to our communal guest kitchen to prepare your own meals. This is a great way to save money and share dishes with other travelers and volunteers!
-The hostel is directly in front of a fantastic surf spot! You'll get free, unlimited use of our surfboards (for all levels), and kayaks.
-High-speed, reliable Wi-Fi is provided throughout all our installations—in both buildings and the common areas.
-Dedicated Workspace: For those who need to focus, we offer a special co-working area designed for digital nomads and remote workers.

Activities & Shift

The shifts are 4 to 8 hours per day, with a maximum of 24 hours per week. 2 to 3 days off per week. Schedule organization depends on how complete the team is.

Rules

We're a laid-back family business, and we're excited to partner with you! We're fully committed to building a successful working relationship for both of us.

To keep things running smoothly, it's essential that the expected duties and responsibilities outlined here are consistently carried out to the required standard. We genuinely hope our relationship is a great fit, but maintaining these performance expectations is crucial. Should we find that performance isn't meeting these standards on an ongoing basis, we would, regrettably, need to discontinue this agreement and conclude our working relationship.
