Nomada Urban Beach Hostel

All traveler, volunteer or staff member gets the opportunity to interact with people from all around the world at our hostel. Puerto Rico is rich in history, nature, infrastructure, music, art, and others. By staying at our location people will be able to define what is the real local lifestyle, expose to the Spanish language, cultural music, and dance, discover other places starting from the coast, and drive into the nature that makes PR Enchant Island.

Currently, there are three volunteers, two employees for the reception, and two for housekeeping. Volunteers can be expected to be treated like family as long as the rules are respected. Volunteers are given 50% off most of the items we have for sale. If you ever want to discover parts of Puerto Rico I can always be of help and if you have any questions. If you are trying to move to Puerto Rico as well I can be almost a mentor and assist you with how things work here. Also, anything above the 20-hour requirement you will be paid. **We have any 8 week requirement minimum**

I had a wonderful time volunteering at Nomada Hostel, meeting amazing people and contributing to a welcoming environment for guests. However, after almost five months, I was asked to leave via text on the same day, with no prior warning or conversation. This was due to a misunderstanding with another volunteer, and it caused me a lot of stress and frustration as I had to find a place to stay last minute. The team later apologized, but it was too late by then. This is simply a warning not a discouragement to anyone.

I had a wonderful time at Nomada Hostel! The environment was very welcoming and everyone was friendly. I easily made friends with the other volunteers and it’s a small hostel so I got to know a few of the guests as well. Krys was so helpful during training, she explained everything in detail until I felt comfortable with all the reception tasks. I’m so sad my time at Nomada has come to an end, but I’m beyond grateful for the amazing experience!

I originally planned to volunteer at Nomada Urban Beach Hostel for one month, but I loved it so much I extended my stay! The experience was incredible, thanks to the amazing team—Kris, Neri, and Diana—who are organized, supportive, and make you feel appreciated. I stayed at the Calle Loíza location, which was perfect—close to beaches, great restaurants, and San Juan’s vibrant energy. The manageable schedule gave me plenty of time to explore Puerto Rico. Nomada’s laid-back vibe, friendly community, and unbeatable location made this one of my best experiences. Highly recommend!

Diana + Neri + Krys = A squad. Professional, approachable, reasonable, sharp, and overall lovely ladies of leadership.

I choose PR to brush up on my Spanish. I did not enhance my skills as much as I had wished but the opportunity is there if you are disciplined.

Reception tasks are meticulous but easy. The hostel itself was beautiful, fun, and clean. I was always making new friends and never felt unsafe.

At first the location at Isla Verde can seem daunting being next to the highway, however, explore and you will find it is quite central and convenient.

No cons. I would return.
