Banana Surf Hostel

Because we treat people with respect and in the way we would like to be treated ourselves. We try to set flexible schedules because we understand what a volunteer thinks and feels, since we have also volunteered in other places. We strive for volunteers to be our friends and colleagues.

Volunteers will be treated with respect and kindness. We try to help in every possible way to make the volunteer's stay as satisfactory as possible.

Ruth nos recibi贸 muy amablemente. Tuvimos nuestro espacio tanto f铆sico como en el di谩logo con Ruth. Ha sido muy amable, graciosa y respetuosa. Durante nuestra estad铆a de 1 semana cuidamos la limpieza del peque帽o edificio hostal de 2 plantas. Nos hemos sentido super bien, c贸modos y el trabajo ha sido el pautado y sobr贸 tiempo para conocer la zona :))

Deben saber que no es solo la limpieza del hostel, sino que tambi茅n hay que limpiar Tango House. No se respetan horarios para enviar mensajes, fuera de tu turno est谩s recibiendo mensajes sobre lo que falt贸, lo que hay que hacer, y sobre todo de LO MAL QUE HICISTE LAS COSAS. Juan no tiene una comunicaci贸n asertiva y no es positivo a la hora de hacer devoluciones. Como se vive en el lugar debes estar atenta 24hs sobre lo que pasa con los huespedes. Te pide que cuides el lugar como si fuera tu casa pero te proh铆be recibir visitas. Si terminas antes de hacer tus tareas no podes irte.

Thank you very much for your comment. In this life there are people who see the glass half empty or half full, unfortunately you are one of those who see it half empty. At least that鈥檚 what you鈥檝e shown in the few days you were here. I only told you 2 or 3 details that you forgot after congratulating yourself by saying 'good job', and just for that you get angry and threaten to leave. The normal thing is that when you start in a new place you make small mistakes and the person there tells you so that the next day things go better; if you don鈥檛 accept that or it makes you feel bad, well, you鈥檒l tell me... I鈥檓 very 'tough' for saying that to you, my God how we are, look inside yourself to see what鈥檚 going on. More: if you鈥檙e living with guests it鈥檚 normal that you interact with them, and if you see something like they dirty up or make noise, etc., the normal thing is that you say something to them because you are living there. That, apparently, costs you a great sacrifice... And messages outside your shift... but if it鈥檚 a group WhatsApp and it鈥檚 for everyone, well, don鈥檛 read it and that鈥檚 it; if you don鈥檛 want to know anything about the place where you鈥檙e living, miss!! How little commitment you have... and how annoying it is to read messages outside your schedule. And of course you can鈥檛 receive visitors because it鈥檚 a shared house; you didn鈥檛 tell me before coming that you wanted to be receiving visits from your friends... otherwise that point would have been clarified. Hosts who read this review, beware: she leaves from one day to the next without warning.
