We are looking for volunteers to come work with us at our laid back, beach side hostel. We normally have around 5 helpers at the time. We offer flexible positions including reception work, bar tending and extra little projects related to your skill. The work requires 5 days a week, 5 hours per shift, giving you plenty of time to explore this amazing island and practice Spanish/English. Staff accommodation is in a mixed dormitory.

I had a great first Worldpacker experience at the villa. The work was easy and the working hours very fair. Don't be scared to come here even though you don't have any reception experience, Walid and the other volunteers will teach you everything. The accommodation is nice since you have a lot of space for clothes and things. Best thing about this place must be the location, 2 minutes from the beach. I met so many amazing people and I had a great time at the hostel!

Location is 3 min walk to the beach and close to a ton of restaurants/bars/shops. The work is super easy, it's a welcoming atmosphere & Walid is really good about communicating/being flexible. This is definitely not a party hostel if that's what you're looking for but I met a ton of cool people and really enjoyed my time at the VILLA. Would def recommend if you're looking for a chill place to experience Puerto Rico!

As my first Worldpackers experience the hostel was great. The work is easy and schedule is set out way in advance so it's easy to make plans around it, and it's a perfect location as a base. San Juan is a super fun place and I had a great time with the other volunteers, as long as you stick to the rules you'll be good. If you wanna be able to go to the beach everyday and make new connections with people (and cats - cleo owns the villa) then I'd recommend volunteering here!

I had such an amazing time volunteering at the hostel! I seriously couldn't have hoped for a better first worldpackers experience. The hostel itself is so cute and everyone I worked with was amazing. The location is great (2 minute walk from the beach) and the work is super fair and simple. I would strongly encourage anyone to come work here and to visit San Juan. It was a truly fantastic 6 weeks!

My experience in the hostel was really good! All conditions from Worldpackers website were met, there were no problems with schedule or additional chores. Work at the bar was very easy and enjoyable, however sometimes became boring, because of very few or no guests. Communication was very clear since the beginning and I never had any issues. My fellow volunteers were beautiful people, who made this experience unforgettable! The hostel is in great location surrounded by restaurants, bars and most importantly it's really close to the beach :) I had a great time 🫶🏻
