I had a good time with the bar guys and the guests I met. The karaokes and beerpongs were really fun. Dont mess with the fairies!!

This is a very fair exchange, you get a lot for what you do. The team is very accomodating and makes you feel welcome and the kitchen makes great food. Town is small but lively and you get great deals on travel to other places. Be aware that some times the waves can be crazy depending on the time of years do your research if you came to surf but the vibe is so chill here that 4 weeks will fly by :)

The hostel was an amazing hostel to volunteer at. The hostel itself is very beautiful and very well maintained. The work you do is actually fun and (if you enjoy gastronomy/bar work) and it was really cool to learn how to make some cocktails! The other staff members are all very welcoming and I had a lot of fun with them. It is a fair work exchange, as you get a lot of discounts, food, surfboards and yoga for free and it is a good split to work 4x a week for 7,5 h and have 3 days off. El Paredon is very small but if you enjoy the beach, sun and partying, then you will love your time at the hostel!

I had a great time at the hostel, from the second I walked into reception to the last goodbye, i felt welcomed. You will live in a little angle of paradise with amazing food & a great team. Hours & tasks are very doable - when the team is great, time literally flies. Pity i couldn't extend my stay, would have loved to!

My time at the hostel was amazing. Everyone here really is one big family. My responsibilities were exactly as expected and I would recommend this role to anyone looking for a social volunteering position. Already planning my next trip back!

I stayed at the hostel for three weeks after deciding to shorten my stay after spending a week in El Paredón and realizing the town itself is quite limited in things to do. The volunteer team was amazing and I met some genuinely great people and made close friends during my time there. The bar shifts, however, were more physically demanding than I expected for a volunteer role. You're on your feet the entire 7.5-hour shift and constantly busy, which made the work feel more intense than I had anticipated. Still, it was a valuable experience, and I appreciated being part of such a lively community:)

The hostel was a wonderful time, and it was hard to say goodbye 💜 The place runs really smoothly, and it's a very sustainable amount of work mixed with fun. The benefits are incredible, and you do earn them with a good but fun time working. It felt good to truly belong somewhere after so much travel. Miss everyone there, and I hope you apply!

This was my first volunteering experience and I would 100% recommend to other travellers. It's the perfect balance of socialising and relaxing, board rentals everyday and a minute away from the sunset on the beach every night.

The hostel was my first ever volunteering experience and I have no regrets going there, I even stayed a week longer than originally planned and the experience taught me so much. The hostel is beautiful and has everything you could need and is a 2 minute walk from the beach, the town is very small but perfect for escaping the world for a little while and partying all night if that's your thing :)) Thank you to Elli and Felix for hosting me, as well as all the managers, it was a pleasure to have spent time with you all, it was very hard to say goodbye, it felt like a family.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
