The past 5 months at California Dreams Hostel has been nothing short of incredible! The work is relatively easy, just 7hrs of front desk reception, with 3 days off a week. Management is always reliable and willing to work with our schedules. All the guests and volunteers are absolutely amazing! I’ve made so many life long friendships here and the surrounding area is perfect for activities + hangouts. This place has been life changing to my growth as a person and I couldn’t recommend it more!

My experience at California Dreams Hostel was the absolute best. Alex and Plinio, the bosses, were very understanding and flexible at all times, trying to make sure that all the volunteers feel always comfortable and that our needs were always met. I would recommend this experience 100% to anyone who wants to enjoy San Diego and its beautiful beaches, especially for first-time worldpackers like me <3
