The hostel is very nice from outside, it seems like a private villa but inside it is so so dirty..well located near beach and airport. The manager doesn't exist and he can't help you and listen to you.. he can't do his job. I was very shocked when he start to scream on me and saying..: I don't want crazy people here you have to leave now.. without a reason .. I never lived such a horrible experience like that and I surely will not recommend.

This volunteer was invited to leave the hostel after causing several problems with ALL volunteers and not fulfilling their tasks correctly did not like to help anybody, disrespecting the others arriving at dawn, waking up all volunteers without any respect and laughing at everyone saying "I do not care", taking guests into the volunteers' room knowing that it is not allowed, when confronted about these situations, she would simply start screaming and leave, making a dialogue impossible, without doubt a person that any host should be aware of if they accept her.

Hola! Mi estadía en el hostel fue tranquila. Compartes tu tiempo con otros voluntarios, la cocina es amplia y muy limpia. Y dar paseos en la bicicleta es genial. Hablando de trabajo, debes cumplir con los shift que son de 4 horas al día, mientras hagas bien tu trabajo, todos felices. 😁 Alex, el anfitrión tiene mucha paciencia para explicar todo. Si van en pareja, tengan en cuenta que es posible que los horarios de descanso no les cuadren. Gracias faro, see you soon.

Tuve una experiencia muy buena en el hostel! Me sentí muy cómodo, conocí muchas lindas personas tanto voluntarios como huespedes. Me permitió aprender sobre housekeeping y conocer la ciudad. El hostel es muy lindo y esta um poco lejos del centro y de la playa pero teníamos bicicletas disponibles para usar. Alex es muy amable y flexible con los horarios. incluso viviendo ahí empecé a trabajar y me acomodó mis horarios para poder hacerlo.

Los horarios se cumplían, en ningún momento hicimos horas de más o cosas que no estaban dentro de lo establecido. Las instalaciones estaban bien cuidadas y cerca del aeropuerto. Ademas, suele haber al rededor de 6-10 voluntarios al mismo tiempo, por lo que es una muy fácil conocer a gente de todas partes. Sin embargo, la gestión del hostal con respecto a los voluntarios era muy pobre, durante mi estancia se echaron a cuatro voluntarios y un huésped sin razón aparente. También apuntaré, que no se ofrecen comidas ni clases de surf gratis. Y que en mi caso raramente coincidí con mi pareja.

About this: these 4 volunteers and 1 guest who were invited to leave the hostel, in just 3 days of stay at the place (and Lucia was included), caused several inconveniences with other volunteers and guests, in situations such as not respecting the quiet time, remaining until 3:00 am awake drinking and bothering the others who wanted to sleep for 2 days in a row, during the the third day we had a meeting few hours earlier explaining the general rules of the hostel but during the night these 4 volunteers with 1 guest came back from the public park outside totally drunks and opened the kitchen at 3:30 am and started cooking and making so much noise waking up several guests and staff causing great inconvenience leaving behind a big mess and the next day one of these volunteers should open the reception in the morning and simply woke up early and went to the beach to enjoy the day with the other 3 without giving any explanation and Lucia was one of them, returning only in the late afternoon where they were asked to leave the hostel.
In our hostel we demand compliance with the rules and commitment and respect from volunteers to guests or staff who do not comply with the rules will be asked to leave.

Tenia que estar tecnicamente un mes pero sin motivo ninguno el anfitrion (alex) decidio echarnos a mi y a otras amigas del voluntariado a la primera semana. Solamente porque mi compañera de viaje subio un poco el tono de voz una noche, cuando ellos mismos se ponian a ver la tele a la misma hora. Nos echaron sin antelacion y de rebote solamente porque le cogieron mania a nuestra amiga, sin motivo ninguno. El surf y las clases NO SON GRATIS y no dan almuerzo como dicen. Respeto el ambiente se creo muy mal rollo pero por parte del anfitrion, que estaba muy estresado y lo pago con los voluntar

This about the tv never happened, in just 3 days of stay at the place 3 other volunteers and her, caused several inconveniences with other volunteers and guests, in situations such as not respecting the quiet time, remaining until 3:00 am awake drinking and bothering the others who wanted to sleep for 2 days in a row, during the the third day we had a meeting few hours earlier explaining the general rules of the hostel but during the night these 4 volunteers with 1 guest came back from the public park outside totally drunks and opened the kitchen at 3:30 am and started cooking and making so much noise waking up several guests and staff causing great inconvenience leaving behind a big mess and the next day one of these volunteers should open the reception in the morning and simply woke up early and went to the beach to enjoy the day with the other 3 without giving any explanation leaving the guests waiting for check-out at reception, returning only in the late afternoon where they were asked to leave the hostel.
About Surf classes, It is written that we have a Surf School as a partners and the classes can be free or have discount, about the meals WE NEVER OFFER MEALS even for a guest, we don't know where you saw this information because it is not written on worldpackers. We need responsible and committed volunteers with the hostel, not people who are just looking for fun and party.
In our hostel we demand compliance with the rules and commitment and respect from volunteers to guests or staff who do not comply with the rules will be asked to leave.

It was an amazing experience to stay here. You get enough time to explore the city, beach etc. So yes this is the right place to be a volunteer here.

The hostel is still new, and some rooms need a bit of work, but it should be fine in a few weeks. Alex was very kind and welcoming, I had a great stay overall :)

It was a great experience! It was a great living together and we felt really comfortable at any time! Alex our host ist such a nice person! We could improve our hospitality skills and also could develop ourselves. We would highly recommend that Worldpackers experience to anyone who is looking for a place that feels like home! <3 :)

We had a nice stay at the hostel, and the work is not too hard. But one has to be aware of the room the staff is sleeping in is quite crowded. Besides you never know what guests are coming, so you have to be prepared to get confronted with different and sometimes difficult people. Still a good experience and you can get friends with guests and other volunteers :)
