We are looking for a friendly, respectful, and proactive volunteer who would like to be part of our daily life and support us in running our cozy family hostel.
The main tasks include making beds, cleaning shared bathrooms, and helping at reception with basic tasks such as welcoming guests and assisting with simple check-ins. Additionally, on some occasions, you will be asked to receive guests arriving late at night or early in the morning, so responsibility and flexibility are important.
We usually expect 4–5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week. The schedule may vary depending on daily needs, so we will inform you in advance of the hours when your help is required, always respecting the agreed workload.
In exchange, we offer accommodation in our hostel with a shared bathroom, as well as access to common areas such as a terrace, living room, and shared kitchen. We are located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, ideal for resting and enjoying a peaceful environment.
As a family, we value respect, good communication, and a positive atmosphere. Therefore, we are looking for someone with a healthy lifestyle, as smoking and alcohol consumption are not allowed within the space.
We would also appreciate a volunteer who can speak both English and Spanish, and if possible, an additional language, as we usually receive guests from different parts of the world.
We will do our best to make you feel comfortable and included, and we are always happy to share our culture and local recommendations.
We hope to create a meaningful cultural exchange where both sides can learn, connect, and enjoy the experience đź’›
