I spent 5 weeks at the hostel Paralelo and was very sad to leave! Overall, it was an amazing experience because of the people you meet (staff, volunteers and guests) and the experience to learn how a successful hostel chain works! When we were fully staffed we worked about 20-25 hours a week which was perfect, some weeks we were understaffed and had to work about 32 hours which was a bit tough. There are 3 types of shifts - day shift (taking the guests on tours), party shift (cooking, leading drinking games and pub crawl) and night shift (cleaning bathrooms, kitchen, folding laundry, reception).

Had the absolute BEST TIME at the hostel Battlo!!!! I miss the crew dearly, especially the receptionists (Angel and Charlie) and of course the one and only MATTEA, who is such a gem on this earth. It was an incredibly social environment with a fun array of shifts, and you honestly become a family with this crew. I'm sad I wasn't able to be there for longer. You get to meet the most incredible people from all over the world, and I'm just glad I was able to be a part of it! Love you all <3

The hostel Ramblas was a home away from home. Even though it was my first ever volunteering experience of this kind, I absolutely loved every minute. The shifts were really chill and everyone always helped each other out. You had plenty of free time to take day trips around Spain. The managers were super nice and understanding. And while the Ramblas flat is hardly a five star hotel, I'll still miss the experience of living in Barcelona by the beach.

Volunteering at the hostel was such an amazing experience! From day one I felt super welcome and part of the family. The vibe is so fun and friendly!! The shifts were explained well and the work itself was really manageable, which left plenty of time to join all the activities !! What really made it special was the people: both the staff and the guests. Everyone was so open and supportive, it honestly felt like a second home. I had the best time here and made memories I'll never forget. Would 100% recommend volunteering at the hostel if you want good times, great people, and lots of fun! <3
