My experience at Theupcycledhostel was incredible; the tasks seemed easy to manage and fun, and the hostel is very well located, a 10-minute walk from the oasis.
Thank you very much Andrea and Fabi for the opportunity, we left very happy 🥹

My experience was incredible! The hostel is run by Andrea and her daughter Fabi; they are two beautiful, communicative people with very good energy. The volunteering was really good; we covered tasks of all kinds and learned a lot! I would recommend it 100%🫶🏻
