I really enjoyed my time volunteering as a receptionist at Green Belly. I was welcomed by a lovely volunteering teamintroduced to me by Anna, who greatly managed the hostel during my time there. Throughout the month we became a close group by eating lunch and dinner together daily, prepared by the lovely Elsa <3. I enjoyed the laid-back environment of Green Belly where guests came to be a part of all that El Paredon has to offer but not to be in the center of it. Even though Green Belly Surf Lodge is located at the center, it felt like my own little safe space full of kindness and good vibes.

I had an amazing experience working as a surf instructor at Green Belly Hostel. From the very first moment, I felt incredibly welcomed—the community vibe is strong, and everyone looks out for each other. I learned so much about reading and handling difficult ocean conditions, and it really helped me grow as a teacher. Teaching surf here was a lot of fun and very rewarding. Big shoutout to Anna, the manager—she's absolutely on top of everything and creates a super supportive environment. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to connect, learn, and enjoy the waves.

I had a really good time here! The hostel is chill, is great place to spend time in el Paredón, to learn how to surf, and to meet amazing people!! The work is chill and not difficult at all. The food is also delicious thanks to Elsa.

I was lucky to be there in a good time of the year working with a really good team, this is really random and obviously the people that you share the job with make the difference, otherwise my duties as surf instructor were pretty chilled and I could organize my schedule by myself which worked out perfectly with my balance work/free time.

Unfortunately, my stay was canceled by the host just a few days before my scheduled arrival, despite confirming the arrangement about a month in advance. This caused inconvenience and disrupted my travel plans.

I came to volunteer as a surf instructor and got confronted by the locals multiple times with the argument that only locals are allowed to give lessons. When trying to communicate this with the actual owner he doesn't really seem to care and just wanted me to still work regardless of the threats. The manager did her best to talk with the locals and also got disrespected. I would strongly discourage anyone to apply to this position. On the other hand Elsa and Alicia work really hard to make the space clean and cook delicious food for the volunteers, extremely grateful for them!!

I stayed at Green Belly for a month as the Yoga Teacher. The position was perfect, 2 classes a day as we agreed before. 3 meals a day, as described on Worldpackers. The team of volunteers was nice, we had great time ! The only improvement can maybe be the rooms, they are really small and not really cosy. All the rest was perfect !

I was a surf instructor at Green Belly in El Paredon for one month. Francesca (the current manager) was the loveliest person ever and I felt lucky to have her there. El Paredon is a very social beach town with great surf and a lot of opportunities to practice my Spanish. Green Belly specifically was a bit less social than nearby hostels but was amazing to live. Also some big bonuses were the pool and amazing homemade lunch and dinner daily.
