1. What you will do
We run a small family hostel and café. Thomas, the manager, currently works in a French school in Guatemala and manages planning and reservations remotely with his parents, the owners, who live on site.
2. Accommodation & opportunities
Volunteers stay in a separate house opposite the hostel, with terraces, chill-out areas and bathrooms. These spaces are also shared with guests.
3. Who we are looking for
We are looking for reliable, independent and proactive volunteers who enjoy hostel life and meeting travellers.
The owners are retired and normally live on site. They sometimes return to France for several weeks; during these periods, volunteers are responsible for the day-to-day running of the place.
Work is shared through 2h, 2h30, or 3h shifts from 7h30 to 22h30, depending on guests and needs.
Tasks include breakfast, café, reception, cleaning, rooms, gardening, shop, maintenance and guest activities.
We value reliability, autonomy, initiative and respect.
Volunteers must keep shared spaces clean, communicate well and be able to work independently.
When the owners are away, volunteers are responsible for the daily operation of the hostel.
Personal and creative projects are welcome as long as they fit with the hostel and volunteering duties.
