Volunteering at Gijón the hostel was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better start. From the beginning, everything was clear and well-organized. The shifts and tasks were exactly as agreed, manageable, and with enough free time to enjoy the area and connect with people. It was a great way to meet travelers from all over the world and to bond with the other volunteers. I'm really grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend this place to anyone considering their first volunteer experience! 💜☀️

My experience at the hostel has been amazing. This is the right place where you can prove yourself and learn so many things. I met a lot of wonderful and kind people from all over the world and we had a great time together. Sometimes the shifts were busy and hard, but all in all you can afford them. The manager was kind and she was super available to help or listen to you if there were some problems. I Will never forget this experience ☀️

I just came back from a 10-day experience at Gijón the hostel. I'm really grateful to have had the opportunity to stay there, even if only for a few days, because during my time there I was able to combine surfing with creating great memories alongside the other volunteers. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy while staying there, thanks to all the activities organized by the hostel. The work isn't hard, also because it feels like being in a big villa, you get to da variety of tasks instead of repeating the same one for five hours. I highly recommend this place.

Had a lovely month here! Very cozy and homey hostel, the tasks are easy, working hours are respected, having quite a few volunteers creates a friendly and family-like atmosphere. Loved the fact that I could take a surfboard and go surfing whenever I wanted. I'd love to come back!

The month I spent at GSH was one of the best experiences I've had. From the very first day, I truly felt at home. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the people — from the manager to the other volunteers — brought such great energy. The hostel offers plenty of activities, whether you're relaxing in a hammock, playing billiards in the reception area, or watching a movie with others. But the highlight for me was surfing. Thanks to the hostel, I discovered a new passion. The lessons were both fun and helpful, and the overall vibe made the experience unforgettable.

Volunteering at Gijón the hostel was an incredible experience! My highlights were surfing, learning Spanish, hanging out with the other volunteers, and enjoying the amazing nature of Asturias. The work was simple and work hours were well respected. The work schedule is on a rotating basis while considering and expressed preferences. Plenty of free time to take advantage of the surf boards, bikes, and other amenities! Everything you could need is very accessible via the bikes provided. I would absolutely recommend this experience if you are interested in surfing and learning Spanish!

I came to Gijón not knowing exactly what to expect. At first, I was a little bit nervous, but everything fell into place and this turned out to be a great experience. I'm writing this review from the bus station as I'm about to leave, and I wish I could stay longer. Mareike (manager) really cares about the volunteers, Ivan (handy man) is always there to lend a hand and have fun with us, and the volunteers (and Tete).... Man, they became friends in such a short time, I feel sad leaving. Schedule: respected Location: easy bike ride into town Room: in hostel, shared w ~7 volunteers Gracias!!

This was my first World Packers trip and I was blown away! I got to meet so many amazing people and create life long memories. I came with the purpose to learn more Spanish and I was able to practice everyday and learn so much. The Hostel is very clean and the hostel is a very special city. I was able to improve my surfing and also got to explore the city with the hostel bikes. I worked as the handy man and got to paint a lot of the house with Ivan. Mareike was an amazing host that made me feel at home since day 1 of being there and overall I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
