Im glad they let me arrive later because of sickness but unfortunately is not a good place to stay. U cook with cockroaches in the sink plates are with cockroaches u eat w/ cockroaches at the table, u take shower w/ cockroaches. I arrive there 3am and there was nobody to receive me then a guy open the door and I could enter and then I was going to sleep in the reception because I didn't have a code to enter in the dorm and then a girl left the room and I slept in an empty bed. And this happened to a lot of people because never there is people to open the door and 12 people sharing small room

I ended up being in Compass house but I had an amazing time. The volunteers basically run the place alone. We are often left to our own devices because the three managers are busy with a lot of things. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. I had a great time with a big team of all the volunteers of the three hostels! We spend a lot of time together and I made friends for life. The only thing that could be improved is the organization. Thank you so much!

My first volunteering experience at the hostel was perfect! The manager was friendly, and there were many other ppl to make friends with, as the dorms are mixed. The island has great spots to explore accessible by public transport. The hostel itself is chill with an amazing the hostel, though it's 5km away from the beach. Work was nice i was in the apartment team which had shorter but intense shifts on the apartments team. I learned a lot of spanish, but i wish i had the official managers all my stay instead of the substitute who wasnt good . It was a great experience 4me but can be subjective!

We spent a month at the hostel, it was low season so we were as many volunteers as guests, which wasn't a bad thing. I really enjoyed my experience because we were able to do lots of things on the island and share lots of good times, which felt a bit like a camp. As for the work, I think there's room for improvement, but on the whole it's not very difficult. The rooms are pretty basic, if not rudimentary, but you get used to them. I loved my experience and would recommend it, but I think it's mainly thanks to the other volunteers :)

I spent 7 weeks volunteering at the hostel and truly had an amazing time. The work was fine and since I was working in the apartment team and it was low season I would often finish earlier. However what truly made the experience so great were the people that I met and since most volunteers only stay a month I met two amazing groups. As for the hostel there is definitely room for improvement (shelf next to the bed, curtains, training of volunteers). I had to move rooms multiple times cause of bedbugs, which is however taken seriously by the managers and they take measurements immediately.

My experience was really good here! I met amazing people and even friends for life here! The work load was very manageable and you had lots of free time to explore Gran Canaria, I would recommend!

La experiencia ha sido fantástica, hay muchos voluntarios de diferentes partes del mundo por lo que podrás conocer a mucha gente, hay muy buen rollo entre todos y también con los huéspedes, que se muestran muy abiertos y dispuestos a conocer gente :) Las tareas son sencillas y el manager es muy amable y te explicará adecuadamente lo que debes hacer, además hay varios días libres a la semana que te permiten conocer la isla

What a great experience! It was my first time volunteering and from day one I felt like I made the right decision. The hostel itself is an older building with some smaller defects here or there, but definetly a cozy a welcoming place with great staff. I was working in construction - I didn't apply for it, but they needed people there and I enjoyed the tasks way more than the cleaning-team's ones. My manager - Juan - was a cool and flexible guy, with whom it was always easy to work with. I found friends from all over the world and managed to drastically imrpove my Spanish. Definetly recommend!

I stayed at Compass Hostel, and I absolutely loved my experience!! I met volunteers from all over the world and learned so much. Ilyas was a great manager and our group of volunteers had so much fun. I wish I could have stayed longer. The company owns 3 hostels (Compass/the hostel/Jungle Hostels) so they may switch you depending on their needs. If you want to clarify where you will be staying you might want to reach out multiple times to the owners. Try to take the time to meet volunteers from the other hostels too, it was so fun meeting everyone and making friends!
