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!

SO much fun! I had an amazing time with the other volunteers and management team. This was a wonderful experience. You have to be okay with living in tight quarters with others (and I bought a fan to help me sleep better), but I have no complaints. I enjoyed using the projector in the hostel to have movie nights, I loved the family dinners each week, I have the best memories!!!

I worked for a month at Compass House where Ilyas is a manager - he's a brilliant guy who has tried to make my stay as best as possible even when there were misunderstandings with the guests. The assigned tasks are standard as in any hostel, but if you don't have time to do some part of the work, you can easily agree with the team to transfer some part of it to the next shift. The coolest thing is that you can, through existing partnerships with other hostels, travel around the island on your days off. it will definitely make your experience even more exciting;)
