I really enjoyed working with thethe hostel team! Dimitri and Mélanie are wonderful and welcoming hosts and they made sure all my needs for my stay were met. I got to da variety of tasks even though the hostel was closed for part of my stay and still had heaps of free time to explorethe hostel and relax. The free the hostellessons were a huge bonus too! I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone who is interested.

I really enjoyed volunteering at thethe hostel! The hostel is so nice and cosy, and the team are all kind and open people. We ate and worked together, and there was always a fun, pleasant atmosphere! I made so many great memories, learned a lot and could improve my English and French. The work wasn't difficult, mostly behind the bar, cleaning the hostel and making breakfast, and you can always ask for help. We also had the possibility to go surfing or do yoga in our free time, and the food was delicious. Thanks again for the opportunity and the lovely experience :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I was left disappointed. From the beginning I felt unwanted and unwelcome. There were too many volunteers for the tasks. The 5 hour long shifts were mostly spent waiting for something to do. The staff accommodation was a 50 minute walk aways and volunteers have to source their own bikes which is hard to find in peak season and near impossible to find under €50. Their profile states free use of laundry which wasn't true. They wouldn't cater to my dietary requirements. Surfing and yoga were enjoyable but overall I would not recommend.

First person to behave this way since we started welcoming volunteers. Before your arrival, we discussed your dietary requirements and offered solutions, which you agreed to!
The accommodation you were given was 15min away by bike, bike you didn’t have to buy, because we lent it to you for free : yet not once did we hear a thank you !
Don't forget you had free access every single day to yoga classes, surf lessons, surfboard rentals, we cannot recommend you as a volunteer...

This is a very fun experience to live at the beach and the hostelas much as much as you want but there were some things that weren't communicated properly. Laundry is not included, neither is wifi or transportation to the hostel for some of the volunteers. You also aren't really trained on anything, but the hosts would get angry if you did something that was not how they would do it. One of the hosts also had a poor temper and would sometimes explode and create a negative environment. I still had a great time but these are things to know beforehand :)

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you had a good time with us and enjoyed the beach life and surfing!
That said, we’d like to clarify a few things and put your experience into context. Since you were living at the hostel, you had free access to the Wi-Fi, and there was no need for any transportation, as everything was on-site. No enough space to give you a real feedback....
We wish you all the best for your next adventures and many more positive experiences to come :)

The people are really lovely and welcoming and the team was so kind and supportive. I felt really comfortable and got to know very inspiring people. The Hostel is such a cute place and has a relaxed, fun and good atmosphere overall. The whole experience was just a lot of fun and I really made a lot of great memories. We always ate together and did a lot of stuff together, therefore you really felt like you were being part of a lovely community/family. I recommend everyone to volunteer here, the hosteland the people there are great ! Thanks again for this opportunity!:)

What a nice place to be! I really enjoyed my time in thethe hostel. The season end was not so busy so it was really easy work - doing breakfast, get orders for lunch and dinner, make coffee, clean the rooms and thethe hostel, help in the chichen or at events. Everybody is really nice, kind and openminded. Go there if you have time! You have so many opportunities to gothe hostel, visit bordeaux, do yoga or just enjoy your day in the hostelor at the beach. And the food is just delicious! Thanks again for the amazing expierience :D

This experience was truly amazing! I had so much fun meeting new people and practicing my English. At first, it was a bit difficult to communicate with the team since they mostly speak French, but over time I got to know them, and they're really wonderful people! The job isn't hard, and they're always there to help when you need it. The food is fantastic, and the place is just as great as it looks in the pictures. I also had the opportunity to takethe hostel and yoga classes, and both were a blast with excellent instructors! I highly recommend this place :)

I loved my time atthe hostel! The work was mostly behind the bar, doing the dishes, making coffee and smoothies and breakfast. All your colleges are funny and caring persons. Even though they sometimes only spoke french at dinner, i didn't feel left out at all and my french skills actually improved! You can use the surfboards whenever you want, the beach is a 5 minutes walk and the food is all delicious!! You will have an amazing experience for sure:)
