My stay at Etxea Surf Hostel was just wonderful. I felt at home and David and Aritz are very welcoming. The hostel is very social and I had a great time with the other volunteers and the guests. The Pintxopote was always super fun! The tasks were easy to do and the beach is very close by to go surfing. the hostel Sebastián has a lot to offer like food, bars and going on a hike as well. I highly recommend this place!

My time the hostel Seb has been so wonderful!!! It is such a lovely little hostel, everything's so clean, modern and social. The little volunteer apartment is coming together nicely and I loved making all our family meals with the others and making it a home💘 the team are great (big shout out to Fran). The location is incredible - 2 minute walk to Zurriola, perfection. Easy to carry surf boards to and from as well. Feeling very grateful. 10/10 recommend ☺️

Etxea means “home” in euskera, and that's what this was from me. I met amazing beautiful people, both coworkers and guests of the hostels, because good energy always attracts good energy. Aritz and David are such amazing managers, they make you feel you're part of something from day 1. One thing I really appreciated is that they really care enough to talk things true, the hostel respectful yet direct way. Thanks for the special moments family, I'll never forget this month 🧡
