The host, Dora is so lovely and accommodating. I felt uncomfortable with the sleeping arrangements (me and 5/6 other men), a traumatic experience occurred but Dora was great and fixed it, making me feel more comfortable to sleep there. the tasks are simple but long. The breakfast included was meagre but there was a kitchen we could use. Prime location next to the beach but very loud due to the neighbouring clubs. Great place to learn how to surf. Not very sociable, no dance classes/activities and the terrace pub was closed due to low season. I would recommend but for summer :)

I hab an absolutely great time. We we're a lovely team and Alfonso is doing his things well. I was there during Christmas. We Celebrate with a Lot of different People. Chilenos, Argentinos, French,Belgium and German. We had fun! Pro and Con is, that the Hostel is next to the beach, Clubs and Restaurants. So If you want to have some fun, its perfect for you. If you want to sleep Well and enjoy quiet, its semi perfect. In the end, you will have a good time, and the Hostel itself is Nice. Buen Viaje!

I immediately felt at home at the hostel. The place was clean, and everyone there was very friendly and outgoing. My favorite part about it was how much time both the guests and volunteers there spend with each other.

My experience at the hostel was beyond expectations. The place was beautiful, the weather was perfect and it's located right next to the beach. Despite my limited Spanish Dora made an effort to socially communicate with me everyday. This place felt like home and I'll never forget this positive volunteering experience.
