First proper experience volunteering at a hostel and couldn't have asked for a better time! Other volunteers and guest you meet are always lovely. The shift schedule and work involved is exactly as described and very fair. Paul is an excellent manager! I would recommend this hostel to anyone, especially if it is your first time volunteering :)

My experience at the hostel was amazing. The hostel is really nice. The location is amazing! The atmosphere with the other volunteers and guests was very social and open. There were lots of opportunities to practice my Spanish with guests. The manager is amazing. He really makes the volunteers feel appreciated and valued. The hours and tasks are very reasonable and you still have plenty of free time to explore the island :)

My experience at the hostel has been my first WP experience and it couldn't have been better! Unfortunately I could only stay for a short time, but if I had the chance, I definitely would have stayed longer. The tasks are very manageable (mostly cleaning and helping with check-ins). They don't take up too much time, which leave plenty of room to enjoy everything else, hanging out with guests and other volunteers, exploring the island and surfing. Paul the hostel manger is very nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere at the hostel is just great. I really recommend this hostel!!

Best experience ever! I couldn't have asked for a better place or better people. The hostel is amazing -just a few steps from the ocean- and the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and full of good vibes: I felt immediately at home. Paul, the manager, is extremely caring and always willing to help. I had a wonderful time with the other volunteers and with guests. It's super easy to socialize thanks to the international and open minded environment. The tasks are really simple, everything is well organised and you get plenty of free time to surf and explore the island. I truly recommend it!

Best Volunteering! The tasks are well explained and fair. You can get free lessons fairly easily too; I started and fell in love with the sport here. The location is perfect for surfing, in a city with many buses to hike around the rest of the island. Paul the manager is the best manager you'll probably ever see! Mostly, he makes us feel very welcome and safe. Thomas the owner is great! So is his eco-farm. This was an amazing experience for me; I learned a lot socially and gained a lot of confidence. Bringing a positive, energetic attitude is best :D you'll have a great time!
