Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience! The team was super welcoming and made me feel at home from day one. The tasks were well-organized and easy to manage, leaving plenty of time to explore the island and connect with other volunteers and guests. The atmosphere at the hostel is warm, fun, and full of great energy. I'm grateful for the opportunity to meet incredible people and create unforgettable memories. Thank you for everything!

The work is easy to learn, manageable, and from arrival you start to feel right at home. There were a lot of things that could've been handled better, or simply the owners having more presence in their business. ALL the managers are amazing, genuine, kind, and work a lot harder than they're paid for. Im forever grateful for them. If you have any questions reach out to me! Thanks for everything the hostel 🫶🏽

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel. The exchange was fair and flexible, and there was opportunities to request time off. The work for housekeeping included standard cleaning, reception and laundry tasks. The location was great, a short walk from the main city center, and the hostel terrace provided a nice place to relax.

I had a great time at the hostel. The other volunteers were so kind and welcoming , and the area is lovely. My favorite activities included day trips around the island, family dinners, and the hostel nights spent with the team. However, the role I applied for was advertised as leading tours, planning events, and organizing sports. 2 days before i arrived I was informed my role was actually going to be reception and housekeeping. Despite this, I would definitely recommend this experience and ended up having the best time, the last month felt like one big vacation with friends :)

Sadly, my experience at the hostel was disappointing. The managers were absent and showed no real interest in the volunteers. Communication was often confusing and contradictory, and some volunteers were treated unfairly. The workload in the apartments was too heavy, and none of the promised group activities happened — with the excuse that there “wasn't a good group connection” among the volunteers. The hostel relies almost entirely on volunteers, yet offers no real support or guidance in return. I had a nice time but wouldn't recommend this hostel.

The team of volunteers was amazing, I felt like I had been part of a little family :) Compared to other hostels, the hostel is clean, but has a quite high age average of guests. What I have to honestly criticize is the new management, as the communication has been difficult and the team did sometimes not feel fully supported as well as how some issues were being dealt with. But other than that, wishes about days off were perfectly respected as well as the agreed shifts, so the experience was definetly enjoyable and I would gladly do it again for all the people that I have met ! :)

The hostel is a very social environment. Everyone is super welcoming and nice; the work is easy, mostly cleaning but it wont take that much of time and you will work with somebody else most of the time which makes the work better. The hostel is also in a good position and you can easly move around with buses.

The people are amazing, and the island is beautiful! I had so much fun here and made so many friends. The work is easy, and every week they sent a schedule, which helped me plan out anything I wanted to see or do during my stay. The only downside was the cockroaches and bed bugs, which were not fun to deal with. To be fair, they are trying to fix these issues, but during my stay, the problem wasn't improving. Other than that, my time here was so special, and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Very positive experience! There are two teams: one at the hostel and one at the volunteer apartment. The apartment team had a separate manager, Julieta, who was very kind and helpful. Tasks were simple, and if finished in two hours, the rest of the day was free to explore. The hostel was very social, with a great the hostel in a fantastic spot in the old town of Vegueta. The volunteer room was a bit small for 11 people. There were also cockroaches in the kitchen, but they are working on fixing it. Despite some downsides, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and social experience!
