Oh how I enjoyed my time in the hostel. It was amazing to meet people all around the world. I made amazing life long lasting connections and memories. Shifts there was really easy and chill. Hostel manager Carlos is really nice, funny and chill guy, usually if you need some certain days off you will get them :) It was my first volunteer experience and I couldnt ask for anything more, even ended up staying there longer. Las palmas is beautiful place to stay and there is so much to do and see and you for sure will have so much time to explore whole island. 100% recommend!

My experience at the hostel was great! The work is easy and very manageable. Everyone was very nice and chill. Ive had alot of time to explore the island with friends I made at the hostel. The facilities were great and the room was nice. Dont forget to bring your earplugs though! 11 people in one room can be loud hahah. I Would definitely recommend going here. Especially if you like the sun and sea:)

The hostel was a goodsurprise for me, I met amazing people and made connections I didn't expect! I worked in the apartments that are part of their network of hostels and apartments, and the work was super chill. We were always free to go once everything was finished (many times we even ended our shift early). Julieta, the manager, is amazing and always ready to help. The island is a beautiful place with so much to see and explore. If you enjoy nature, the sea, or just going out to eat, drink, and meet new people, then it's the perfect place for you. I'll definitely miss it and hope to come back

My experience at the hostel was amazing — I had the best time there! I met so many wonderful people, both volunteers and guests from all over the world. The tasks were easy, mostly housekeeping, and the shifts were good, with three free days a week and plenty of time to explore the island and all its beauty. I would 100% recommend this experience — I already miss it!

I loved my experienced as a volunteer in Gran Canaria!! I was in Compass House and I'm really grateful for every moment I spent there. It was my first volunteering and first stay in an hostel, it was really easy. In less than a week, I felt at home. I also made real friendships like I would never had imagined. The manager, Elisa, is so kind and understanding. I had so much fun while working with everyone. Now my expectations for a hostel are really high. I recommend it a lot!
