At Columbus you will join part of a huge community of Gran Canaria island.
Our place is fun, sunny most of the time during the year. The island has a lot of micro climates, you can enjoy hiking in mountains, different types of sport, socialising with guests, find new friends.
Volunteers are part of the hostel family, we make sure they have everything they need to feel comfortable here. To extend their skill, comfort zone, language exchange, travelling experiences. Here you will get to know a wider variety of people doing the exact same thing as you, join part of a wider community on the island, get involved.
First and foremost in the building everybody is treated with complete and utter respect. Kindness and compassion is what we show to each other. Our strength is our location and the vibes. You will be part of a family, if this is going to be your first adventure, dont worry, we are going to take care of you :) We have a maximum stay policy of 2 months, but are always open to great people returning to us.

I spent a fantastic month in this hostel, I met really wonderful people and we had a lot of fun together. Shifts last 7 hours and can be either in the morning or in the afternoon, but then you have 3 days off which you can use to explore the island.
Unfortunately in Las Palmas in August there isn't much to do, the clubs aren't the best and the hostel doesn't organize events on the terrace. Also the island is full of cockroaches which can be really annoying at times.
Despite this, I really enjoyed this experience and I recommend it to everyone, I would definitely do it again!

I didn’t stay at Columbus, I was in Jungle House. It was by far the best month of my life, but it was more the other volunteers whom I was with that made it so. Jungle became our home and we became a family. I highly recommend during summer

We had such a great time at compass! The hostel is very modern and clean, and the staff and volunteers were super friendly.

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;)

In the two months I spent in the hostel I was lucky to meet many volunteers who became my family.
Managers and volunteers have made my experience memorable.
There are severals teams to choose from: apartments, buildings and reception. In each of these you can manage your own commitments and free time.
You will share every single moment with the other people of the hostel and for this you will create intense bonds and live unique experiences
My heart remained in the hostel and with my beloved international friends
