I had a great time at the hostel. Hours are respected, very chill areas such as the outdoor courtyard & the lounge. Alessia is a very friendly host. I will not forget my time at the hostel and exploring the beautiful island of Gran Canaria.

I had to change my volunteering dates and I immediately found an agreement with the manager who was very understanding and helpful. Warm regards to Tara and Alessia.

My stay at the hostel started out amazing! GC is beautiful and you have more than enough time to explore the island with your time off. The manager is very flexible with the schedule and is always there to answer any questions. Near the end of my stay we had a couple of volunteers arrive that were very disrespectful and made very rude comments, a lot of the time people wouldn't do their cleaning during their shifts (which was very simple to do) and the hostel would be a mess. It would've been nice to see more people being held responsible for not doing their jobs! Overall was a good experience.

We did not complete our full stay so cannot comment on the full experience. We met other volunteers who seemed to be enjoying their stay. But for my partner and I, we felt very disappointed upon arriving and seeing the hostel. It is not the same as shown in the pictures. The bedroom dorm was disgusting, insanely dirty, smelly, with bugs and dust everywhere. We tried to stay positive but when we saw the rest of the hostel we decided it was not liveable for us. The bathrooms were disgusting with mould in the showers. We were very sad as we were excited for this stay, but we left immediately.

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel however they do have a cockroach and bedbug problem. The drains in the showers are not fully functioning so you do have to shower whilst standing in drain water. The manager was really flexible with the schedule so that me and my travel buddy could have days off together which definitely improved the experience. The work load was great and usually always with one other person which I really appreciated.

Compared to other hostels I've been, the hostel is quite big and the vibe is not too familiar, at least in the beginning. There's one staff room for 10 volunteers and it did take some days until I met and spoke to everyone. I would not recommend going there if you can't stand smoking as people do it a lot and therefore I mostly tried to avoid the nice garden, especially sat by myself when having breakfast... A few times per week family dinners are offered which is nice because it's free for volunteers. The new manager Alessia is a sweetheart and very organized :)

I had the best summer of my life in this place. The hostel it's okay, there are some points that need improvement but I believe they are working on it. Furthermore the people really make the place. There are volunteers for all around the world and we are always planning something to do in a group. I was working in the construction team and for me the job was hard. I had to carry a lot of weight and work at heights a few times, for example sanding the ceiling. But all that hard work is worth it I really liked this place and I recommend you go if you have the chance !!! 🪳🪂❤️

I had a great month working at the hostel. The group of volunteers was open minded, sociable and very fun. Try manager was Manu, and he was friendly, organized, gave us local tips and made sure work was fun. The other managers also gave this impression. While I believe the organization could be improved for welcoming the new volunteers (often there was confusion as to what team you'd be on/ no managers there to welcome you, just other volunteers), it was a small issue and overall organization was very good. Meeting locals was easy as the hostel volunteers are always included in local events.

Had such a fun time at the hostel would definitely recommend. The other volunteers were what made the experience and apartment manager Manu.
