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 hostel was such a special place and I had a great time here. The team felt like a big family. My experience was a little abnormal because I was here in the off season and it was very quiet. I taught yoga classes/managed social media/organized evening events which are all guest dependent, so there wasn't a ton to do. The weather was iffy, so I spent a lot of time at the house which is the cleanest hostel I've seen, but there wasn't heat which was a huge issue to the point I almost had to leave because it was so cold. I would definitely come back, but definitely recommend the summer!

Thanks! Nov is quite cold and the weather is low, something you can always search online before applying for other experiences. There's a lot to do on social media, but it depends on your proactivity. We give free surf lessons, bikes, surf equipment, a training room, a games room, streaming, breakfast, free pizzas every Tuesday for the team, and more. May it's possible to mention just a few of the good things. We've always been available to talk and listen. Above all, we wish you all the best :)

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!

Llegué a NSH como un huésped de fin de semana y después de 3 meses de estar aquí (2 meses y medio de voluntario) puedo llamarlo hogar. Desde el primer día me sentí feliz, conectado con miradas auténticas de voluntarios y huéspedes que me revelaron historias que dejaron huella dentro de mi. NSH me permitió sanar, explorar, jugar y llorar emociones profundas. No me quiero ir, que lindo que puedo volver el próximo año. Gracias Eze por crear esta experiencia, por ponerle tanto corazón a este espacio y por permitirme ser parte de él. Surf your dreams ! Vivir y ya !

Tras haber leido la descripción de este voluntariado sentía que era un sitio donde habría podido sentirme a gusto y así fue! El hostel ofrece espacios muy agradables y limpios donde poderse relajar y conectar con otras personas. Ezequiel le da mucho cariño a su proyecto y se nota que le interesa que los voluntarios estén bien. Las tareas no podrían ser más claras y los horarios, respetados al 100%, son comunicados de semana en semana, lo cual permite organizarse con otros planes (con flexibilidad de cambios en caso de necesidad). Encantada de haber hecho mi primer voluntariado aquí, GRACIAS!
