This is my first volunteering, I'm so grateful to be part of the team❤️ We are 8 volunteers, manager and everyone is amazing. Working time is very reasonable. Details and schedule are well written and planned. All the volunteers live in a same room with bunk beds, and everyone has enough space to store the stuff. We have co-working space, game room, terrace and kitchen. It's about 15 mins walks from the beach and 30 mins from the city center. BUT!!! there are bikes you can use. I enjoyed so much the free surfing lessons and the events for the guests. I love NSH🫶🏻 I really miss the time there…

NSH: Your Home Away from Home in Gijón From the moment you walk through the door, you'll feel a warmth and hospitality that will make you forget you're in a temporary accommodation. The atmosphere is so cozy and friendly that, without realizing it, you'll feel right at home. It's the kind of place where it's easy to connect with other travelers, share experiences, and create lasting memories, whether around a table or planning your next beach adventure. In short, the hostel isn't just a place to sleep; it's an experience that offers the ideal combination of proximity to th

I had an incredible time here at the hostel :) The location is fantastic - incredibly close to both the beach and multiple supermarkets! You're provided with ample opportunities to surf, either with boards from the hostel or with classes hosted by the affiliated surf school! The amenities in the house are modern and well maintained, the beds are comfortable, and I feel the hostel attracts people with great energy. The tasks are simple and made even easier by the detailed checklist. Ezequiel is very organised, always positive, and did a great job supporting the team of volunteers. 💙

I had a wonderful time at NSH in Gijon. The hostel is run very well. The Host and the other volunteers were awesome, and made every day a deeply memorable experience. Being part of a team like that was beautiful and I am super happy to have made all these new friends. As volunteers we got access to surf boards wet suits and even surf lessons! I had wonderful surfing days and i am gonna continue this journey i embarked at the NSH Most of the guests at the hostel are on the Saint James Way. The hostel is a Vortex that draws in some of the most interessting people. Very recommended!
