This was my second time in the hostel and it was just as good as the first if not better! I've now done many volunteer experiences in Spain and what sets this place apart is the excellent organisation, clear expectations from the volunteers, and the close bonds that we form amongst the team. Ezequiel's passion for the project is evident in that he's always looking for ways to improve the hostel and ensure that we have a positive experience. Thank you!

My experience at NSH has been absolutely incredible. I felt so welcome from the first moment I arrived. Ezequiel works so hard to manage this beautiful hostel and the team of volunteers felt like a family. I was teaching the yoga which I enjoyed very much, 8 times per week, sometimes for a really small group, sometimes for more people. The work is very clear, the facilities in the hostel are great. It's such a wonderful chance to learn how to surf here with free surf classes and material. I would really recommend this experience to everyone. This place really really does feel like a home. <3

I honestly have no words to describe this amazing experience! From day one I felt super welcome and part of the team. The shifts and tasks were really well organized, easy, and fun, with plenty of free time to relax or explore. The vibes in the house were awesome — every day we'd do something fun: movie nights, ping pong and drinking games, yoga, singing, cooking, partying, or just hanging out together. Surfing was definitely one of my favorite parts — I lost count of how many times I surfed! Huge thanks to Ezequiel for always making us feel at home!

I really loved my experience at NSH. Not only that the place is super nice, comfy and clean but the people were the best. Ezequiel really cares about everyones wellbeing and also the rest of the team was incredible. The same applies to the surfschool, everyone is very nice and I'm really grateful for my surfing experience. The work is absolutely manageable, organized and flexible if you ever need a certain time off. We had so many nice times together and as promised, the hostel does feel like a second home now and I cant wait to hopefully come back next year! Muchas gracias por todo. <3

My experience at the hostel has truly been the best since I started volunteering on Worldpackers and other platforms. The daily tasks are clear, simple, and well organized — you just follow the checklist and everything runs smoothly. Ezequiel is a five-star manager: flexible, understanding, and always ready to listen or help. The team feels like family, full of good vibes and laughter. And Asturias… the most magical part of Spain! Gijón is perfect for surfing, hiking, and reconnecting with yourself. I'd come back a thousand times!
