This trip exceeded my expectations by far. Right from the start, it felt like home. The beautiful house with the spacious garden to chill in the sun, play football and volleyball. The team that felt like family, sharing so many memories together from surfing, skating, sunsets, nightouts, ping pong games to pizza nights, we did it all. And last but not least a big shout out to Ezequiel. He is very considerate and always makes sure that everyone is feeling comfortable and content with their stay and work. I can't thank everyone enough for the amazing time I had that i will never forget. <3

What started as a 2 week agreement became an unforgettable experience of almost 2 months. /// There's too much to be said since Ezequiel and his abilities to choose, motivate and improve the team are on a league of its own. /// I'll keep it short'n'crunchy by sayin' that the only aspect that's not so utterly amazin' to become tough to be described in words, is the fact that one day u'll have to leave and miss everything about the NSH family. /// My best advice is to prepare for extending or returning so cheers and maybe see you too "en las olas Asturianas" ;)

Ahh where to start? I spent one month in Gijón at the hostel and I absolutely loved it, this place really felt like home. Ezequiel is very considerate of making you feel welcome and for everyone to enjoy their time. We were a team of 6-7 and we all went surfing and skating together, watched the sunsets and played beach volleyball, ping-pong, went out to party and soo much more. The work schedules were fair and the work is easy to understand and to do, and Ezequiel is always available for any questions and always open for new ideas and inspirations. So, 1000% recommended going here!:)

One of the most amazing and intense experiences I had. The team, the house and the vibe are wonderful and each day was full of activities and opportunities. Surfing in the mornings to watching the sunsets, creating unforgettable memories and bonding with all these beautiful people. Ezequiel is an exceptional host, always trying to ensure everything is perfect and everyone is having a good time. I leave with a heart full of gratitude. Highly suggested ❤️

First experience with worldpackers, cannot ask for a better one! Came to Gijón to find good people, good vibes and good waves, I found all of it and even more! I really found a family there, and all this thanks to Ezequiel, the owner of the hostel, that put the experience before anything else, the work part come in second place in a situation like that, if there is a sunny day or good waves, or even just if I had something private to do, he didn't even flinch and Change the shift without problem (as a handyman, but sure he can find solutions also for the other tasks). I just can say thanks 🙏❤

The only problem is that it set the bar too high for a first experience! The place is really nice, modern and in a great location. Ezequiel is super organized. He took us hiking, surfing, organized dinners together, and made sure we felt comfortable during our stay. For surfing, this is the perfect place, thanks also to Dani, who is super kind and an excellent coach. You even have the option to take free lessons with him! I think that the amount of work is fair for what he offers. The overall experience was amazing, and I highly recommend it. Thank you for everything!🤙

My experience at the hostel was great! I did social media and reception. Plenty of time to do it all, and most importantly, flexibility to create content when it made sense. The free surf equipment, surf lessons and bikes, were amazing! I also enjoyed exploring Gijón, chilling at the hostel, and connecting with lots of different people. Ezequiel is a great host, and working alongside some of the nicest volunteers made it an incredible experience.

I had a great experience at the hostel, mostly thanks to my amazing fellow volunteers and kind travellers I met throughout the experience. The housekeeping position consists mainly of some minor cleaning, taking out trash, doing laundry, and making beds. You can usually get the actual work done in between 2-4 hours, depending on which shift you have. The hostel itself is very nice and comfortable, and the convenience of the free surfboard rental is tough to beat. I would recommend the experience to anyone wanting to improve their English, Spanish, or surfing.

It has been definitely a pleasant experience! The hostel is pretty and incentivises sociability between volunteers and also guests. Shifts are not hard and Ezequiel organised all the tasks in a checklist, which makes the job even easier. There are many ways to spend the free time like surfing, visiting Gijón or nearby cities, studying/working in the co-work area, spending time in the game room with other volunteers/guests (card games, table tennis, netflix). Ezequiel is open to suggestions or requests and gives a lot of autonomy, just be responsible and everything is gonna be great!

The time in the hostel was brilliant. I arrived before the reopening why it was quite chill but I knew and also liked that. I enjoyed the beautiful nature of Asturias by biking, hiking and surfing in my times off! Ezequiel is a super nice person that is really committed to make the best out of the time for the volunteers. He recommended a lot of good hikes, helped me improve my spanish and always asked if we need anything. I definitely will come back! So I would absolutely recommend you to come here and work and stay!
