Maintenance Guru for our 5 Social Hostels in Barcelona

Minha experiência com the hostel teve altos e baixos. Conheci pessoas incríveis, o que melhorou bastante a experiência, mas senti falta de um acolhimento mais humanizado. Às vezes, éramos tratados como trabalhadores gratuitos, sem muita consideração pelo que somos. A equipe tem seus favoritos, e quem não se encaixa bem acaba ficando de lado. Além disso, percebi certa falsidade no meio da cadeia de hostels, o que não contribuiu para um ambiente saudável. SAIBA QUE VOCÊ TRABALHA BASTANTE. A experiência foi válida, mas o tratamento dos voluntários poderia ser mais respeitoso, genuíno e acolhedor!

Para ser hóspede no the hostel é bem divertido, fazem várias atividades de interação, mas para ser voluntária no the hostel Batló não tive uma boa experiência..

Fiquei 4 semanas no One Fam e conheci pessoas maravilhosas ( em grande parte outros voluntários ) que fizeram minha estadia indescritível! Você fica em um flat a 3 minutos do hostel que realmente a proposta é só dormir lá pois não tem internet nem cozinha. E talvez você acabe trabalhando mais do que 25h em algumas semanas. Acredito que a experiência de maneira geral contribuiu muito para o meu desenvolvimento mas também grande parte não teria sido tão boa sem as pessoas incríveis que conheci. No final da experiência tive um desentendimento com o anfitrião.

Ana worked 16 shifts over the course of her 4 week stay, averaging 24 hrs of work per week. The dissagreement was that she left before her agreed leaving date giving us little notice and refused to complete her final shift, which she had agreed previosly to do so, resulting in another member of the team (one of the other 'wonderful' volunteers) having to take her shift. Very dissapointing work ethic and commitment to her promises.

-----------------------------------

Ana trabalhou em 16 turnos ao longo de sua estadia de 4 semanas, com uma média de 24 horas de trabalho por semana. O desacordo foi que ela saiu antes da data de saída acordada, nos avisando com pouca antecedência, e se recusou a completar seu último turno, o que ela havia concordado anteriormente, fazendo com que outro membro da equipe (um dos outros voluntários “maravilhosos”) tivesse que assumir seu turno. A ética de trabalho e o compromisso com suas promessas são muito decepcionantes.

My experience at the hostel Ramblas was amazing. It was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Ylke, the manager, along with Lucy, the receptionist welcomed me like I was family from day 1. The shifts CAN be tiring if you're not resting well in between. So, even if it is a “party intern” position, make sure to prioritize sleep and health when you're not on shift otherwise you can burn out. FOMO can happen, but everyday is a party and you can always decide to join next day's one. Shifts were all like we've agreed and I made friendships I'll cherish forever💙

Volunteering in the hostel it's a really a beautiful experience, I was lucky to have an amazing manager such as Caro and an amazing team that made my stay warm and fun. The shifts are respected as they told you in the interview, they're really flexible with the schedule and it's the place to be if you're social, like to party and lead people. I will truly come back as guests and maybe volunteer in another city. Fyi sometimes it's tiring because the times of shifts and a lot of socializing but it's so much worth it and beautiful.

Such a fun experience! Made some of my new best friends there, both volunteers and guests. Would really recommend (as long as you're prepared to party day in day out!) :)

I volunteered at the hostel paralelo for 5 weeks and had the best time of my life! You need to be really social and outgoing person to enjoy the experience to the fullest. The shifts are well explained. But they don't feel like work because the most important part is socializing with guests, creating a fun atmosphere and partying 🤘 I made great friends here and learned many new things. I definitely would recommend this experience! Thanks a lot to the team paralelo, miss you guys already 💕

The hostel is a unique vibe. From the first time you enter the hostel, you're immediately welcomed by everyone. The manager and volunteers are amazing people with such warming hearts. I definitely recommend this experience to those who want to connect with people from around the world while providing a great service to guests

I had the BEST time here! If you love to meet new people and party you'll love it! We lived in an apartment a few blocks away which worked great and I got super close with all volunteers. I'll miss them all <3

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).
