I had an amazing month in Cádiz! The hostel is perfectly located in the historic centre, just a few minutes from the beach. Cádiz has such a great atmosphere, and it was a great opportunity to improve my Spanish. Be ready to speak Spanish from day one, especially during check-ins! A big thank you to Agos, Juli and Nina ❤️ One thing to be aware of: Fernando, the owner, can have inappropriate or uncomfortable interactions and comments, especially towards women. It's important to know this beforehand. Overall, I loved my time in Cádiz and would definitely recommend the experience!

Hello Brunile, thank you for the comment and the rating. However, I am truly saddened by the remark you made about me—which is, of course, your personal perception. I hope I never made any comment (I don't believe I did) that made you feel uncomfortable around me. And certainly, as you have seen, I do not speak about people who are not present. If you heard me make a comment or an "inappropriate" joke with a woman, it is because my relationship with her allows for that level of familiarity.

My experience at Hostel the hostel in Cádiz was absolutely amazing! The host is incredibly kind and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the very first day. The atmosphere at the hostel is vibrant, friendly, and full of positive energy. The tasks were simple and easy to manage, leaving plenty of time to explore the beautiful city of Cádiz. I met so many wonderful people during my stay, both travelers and locals, and made memories I'll cherish forever. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a warm, fun, and unforgettable volunteering opportunity!

This experience overall was not exactly what I was hoping for. I felt as if there was often little patience or empathy when I did not understand things, I came into this experience not having the greatest spanish skills, but wanting to improve and learn more. I was very excited about the opportunity to learn more, and I definitely did learn a lot and was able to communicate. But I often felt as if my inability to communicate clearly in Spanish was hindering my experience. That being said I would only recommend this experience to people who have a high level of spanish.

Alisson, we're sorry about your expectation, maybe if you had told the truth from the beginning about your Spanish level, things would have been different. We tried repeatedly and in different ways to help you understand and involve you in everything. It´s unfair to say we lacked patience or empathy in trying to help you. For anyone who wants to volunteer, wherever they are, being honest about your abilities is important so that no one gets frustrated.

My experience was different from what I expected. I believe each volunteer can have different experiences, but in my case I felt that I didn't find what I was looking for. I hope that with some adjustments, future travelers can enjoy the opportunity even more. I'm grateful for having had the chance to participate of the Worldpackers platform.

Jorge, you were not only one of the worst volunteers we have had, but you have also been a bad person since you have dedicated yourself as a hobby and *revenge* to leave bad reviews about us on Google and other platforms. Revenge makes no sense because even though you criminalize us, we endure 15 days of hell, doing the minimum and not wanting to learn very simple processes. The phone numbers of the good-looking guys who used to come in through the door if you learned them. Nothing to add

I really enjoyed my stay in Cádiz. The working hours and tasks are really easy, Fernando always takes care of one and introduces you to the local life there. Sometimes it can be a little bit chaotic at the hostel but overall a good experience with amazing people. I didn't speak a single word of Spanish before arriving but after the month I was able to understand conversations and learned some basics. It definitely helps if you have some knowledge of Spanish. Gracias again for this experience :)

Fernando is a very kind host. I felt that it was important for him that I feel me comfortable. Evenmore he had always an open ear, if there was anything I needed. I really appreciate that he always helped me, when I asked him something, for example to translate my CV in Spanish and he gave me much information about Cádiz. On the one hand in general about the city and its history but as well, when I wanted to know something e.g. where I can find locations for dancing Salsa. One thing that I didn't like in the hostel was, that the building was really cold inside (my stay was in February).

The hostel is in the centre of Cadiz, so its position is very good. Fernando, Ago and Feña are amazing, although I've been with them for a short time, they have helped me since the first day I got there. The work in general is not difficult, there are some days were it's heavier because of the check-ins and out. If you are used to hostels, the accommodation is ok. I think that hostels are not for me, but it has been an amazing experience the same! I hope to come back soon to Cadiz, to enjoy other nights there! Thank you so much Fernando, it's been a pleasure and thank you for the gift!

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 :)
