Program Details
Our reception is located in an outdoor area, with a garden and a very pleasant space. The receptionist's aim is to provide safety and convey a good image of the space, show the hostel to the visitor, explain how it works, inform about the rules, show the room, pass on the most important information and make them feel at ease.
Activities & Shift
Shifts are organized in rotation together with our staff. Check-in and check-out should be carried out according to the training, with the names placed on the beds of the shared rooms, and a tour of our hostel should be given. Treat guests with kindness and respect, inform them and guide them according to our explanations.
Rules
Know how to distinguish the relationship between guests and the reception during the shift, between the guest and the volunteer, treating the relationship in the most respectful and ethical way possible. Keep our space clean and organized, collaborating with the upkeep of the space.
