The hostel has 3 floors and 3 terraces to enjoy, capacity for 14 people, equipped kitchens, some musical instruments, and what is needed to live comfortably.
From me...
A safe, friendly, and trustworthy environment where you can feel part of a team.
Dignified and clean accommodation, access to basic services for your comfort.
Clear and balanced schedules, respecting breaks so you have free time to explore, socialize, or relax.
Transparent communication, both to give instructions and to listen to suggestions or personal needs.
A space where you can learn, grow, share ideas, and contribute creative improvements.
A fairly comfortable capsule bed inside a shared room.
What I expect from the Volunteer...
A friendly and respectful attitude toward guests and colleagues. Willingness to help with good energy.
Punctuality and responsibility with your part. Flexibility is part of the deal, but so is commitment.
Initiative and open communication.
Respect for the space and coexistence, remembering that the hostel is a multicultural meeting point where everyone deserves to feel comfortable.
2 hours per day, 5 days a week, probably 2 hours at most, depending on how we feel or what needs to be practiced or done.
Basic rules for hostel volunteers
- Punctuality and commitment to the assigned shifts.
- Maintain a friendly and respectful attitude toward guests, colleagues and staff at all times.
- No consumption of alcohol or substances during volunteer hours or when in charge of the space.
- It is not a party hostel; quiet social moments are allowed, always with respect for the space and others.
- Take care of the facilities as if they were your own, keeping order and cleanliness in common areas and in your own spaces.
- The kittens live with us; love them and take care of them, feed them.
- Do not invite external people to the hostel's private areas without authorization.
- Respect the assigned rest hours for guests and staff; keep quiet after 11 p.m. and before 8 a.m.
- Follow safety protocols and the handling of keys/access.
- Report any problem or unusual situation; if you can resolve it without issue, go ahead (still inform us); if it is delicate, inform immediately.
- Do not make personal use of the hostel inventory (e.g., food or supplies) unless previously authorized.
- Participate in brief follow-up meetings to review progress, adjustments, and improvements.
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 :)
