The experience in the hostel is definitely recommendable. I stayed here for one month and had a great time. Santander is beautiful and there are variety of things you can do. The Hostel has a perfect location right in the center and at the ocean. One challenge is that you sleep in the 9-bedroom. So you need to be fine with sharing your space with volunteer and guests. The work is super manageable and you work hours are respectful. You have a great deal of autonomy in the planing which is pretty flexible depending on your coworkers. The host isn't really around but super nice and helpful

I loved Santander. The hosts were great, but the shifts were a bit much. But I still enjoyed the time I spent there.

It was fantastic work at the hostel! Lovely people (other volunteers, Gise y Cami, and the travelers) and most important thing was that Gemma was very kind and very disponible for everything. I really recommend this hostel for people who want to visit nord Spain and know Spanish culture ;)

Lovely hostel with a beautiful view and a very nice host . There was another volunteer, so that each had another shift to do. Tasks were fair. For anyone wanting to apply without speaking Spanish: It probably would have been a nicer experience if I had been capable of speaking Spanish. Communicating with some guests was a bit challenging because of the language barrier, but everything worked out in the end.
