Thank you so much Sam, Damien and little Teo for having me in your hostel team! I stayed for a month volunteering at the hostel, and it felt very homely. We would work in the mornings, doing housekeeping, cleaning, small renovation tasks and/or some babysitting the lovely little Teo. Merci Damien for teaching me painting, grouting, and of course, how to blitz clean a bathroom block to get it sparkling ! Having lunches by Sam together on the terrasse, and chatting out in the sunshine was always the highlight of the day! They were very generous with suggestions for hikes and activities. Merci !

This was my first volunteering experience and it was even better than I expected. I loved staying there! Sam and Damien were both great! The job was pretty easy, cleaning, housekeeping and looking after the cute Teo who I really got to care about. We had a delicious lunch together everyday. During my stay I met so many incredible people from all over the world and had some fun social nights and days. Also became great friends with the other volunteer. I was supposed to stay there for 3 weeks but extended it another 2 weeks. The hostel felt like a home away from home. Really would recommend!

Fue una muy buena experiencia. Damian y Sam son muy agradables, siempre todo fue con respeto. El trabajo era bastante relajado y dejaba mucho tiempo para salir a recorrer o hacer alguna actividad en la montaña. Tuve una mejor experiencia gracias a que pude compartir con algunos huéspedes y todo fue genial.
