Casa Barcelo Hostel

We are a small hostel of 40 beds, centrally located and walking distance to many attractions. Located just far enough from the busy areas to escape the noise, but close enough to get there if needed ;)

We are NOT A PARTY HOSTEL, but a quiet and relaxing place to socialize. We are something between a hostel and a house shared by travelers. Our guests really appreciate our homey atmosphere and we hope you do as well.

You can help us in reception or housekeeping, as you prefer, and we will host you in an apartment shared with other volunteers, about 20 minutes away (teking the metro)

We would like to welcome people that really fit our relaxed and homey atmosphere.
We are dedicated to providing you flexibility, understanding, acknowledgement, training/development and an environment that will allow you to create bonds with people from all over the world.

In return, we just expect a positive attitude, a reliable commitment, and dedication to achieve our objectives! learning new things and making the most out of this unique experience.

Elementary spanish is a MUST for reception tasks as we often have guests who do not speak another language. We try to maintain at least a 60% spanish speaking environment among volunteers, in order to give everyone the opportunity to improve their bases.

We are trying to maintain a place that is friendly, calm, clean and full of respect.
You'll be a GREAT MATCH if you can quickly adapt, engage with guests, and make them feel comfortable in the hostel.
You'll be the BEST MATCH if you can feed yourself with our guests life stories, if you are easily rewarded by the smile on their face, a happy-to-be-here vibe or with positive feedback from them.

Thank you / Gracias!

These two months working at Casa Barceló have been an incredible experience. I have felt very comfortable since the first day and I have been lucky to meet wonderful people. Fernando has been an amazing person to me, always very kind and available, and also all the guys and girls who were volunteering were great. I was very sad to have to leave, because I really felt very good here. Without a doubt, it is an experience I would repeat and I would be delighted to work with them again. ❤️

My experience as a night receptionist at the hostel Barceló was only good in moments, but the rest was tiring or exhausting unless I managed to arrange for it not to be for me. Even though Fernando and the guys I shared the apartment with are very good people, patient, attentive, and good vibes, volunteering is totally a work experience because you really perform the activities of a normal worker, not of a volunteer, and although they offer financial support, to me it’s not fair or reciprocal. It’s really not as calm as they suggest :)
