The hostel is old and the conditions are not really well. When I arrived the volunteer who takes care (because the owner never show) explained the rules and said that if it's cleaned and all done we could get out and stuff, but when time passes he was putting more stuff to do and changing his mind and blaming us for not being “proactive”. I felt really uncomfortable and don't recommend.

Thanks for coming, Gabriela! It's true that there is a schedule to follow, activities to do, and that we are quite flexible. Flexibility will depend on how the tasks are carried out and what arises during the stay. Thanks for wanting to be proactive, but the definition of practicality is: "attitude and ability to take control, initiative and responsibility to generate changes and anticipate problems or needs, instead of just reacting". Best regards and good luck!

The b&b couldn't be more central, amazing location and easy to get around and explore the city. Many great opportunities to practice Spanish and the work was only 3 days (split in morning and evening shift) so you have 4 days off to do whatever, which worked really well for me. They were very flexible and accommodating when I had requests about the scheduling and the site manager Anthony was really nice and helpful 😃 The volunteer room is a bit small and no windows for fresh air - I came in autumn, so it wasn't too hot. Breakfast was included as well, I can only recommend this place 🤗

Antara the sites manager does a great job of making sure you feel welcomed and part of the team. Since there is usually only 2 other volunteers you are able to build close relationships with everyone. The working hours are very flexible and the work is manageable. The location also couldn't be better, you are right in the center of València. This was my first volunteer experience and I absolutely loved it and would recommend to anyone. Con's: The volunteer sleeping area is windowless and in the summer heat it gets quite hot. So come prepared to put up with the heat!

Amazing experience. Everything went according to the plan, and what didn't happen, it had flexibility to change The BnB is super clean, the location is perfect, and Alex (the manager) is an incredible human bein. I work one day, and had two days off. i had lots of time to get know Valencia. In the workday, the work is hard, you have to commit. but once everything is done your day is done. the guests are also chill, and i met really nice people. they even have gluten free bread for celiacs. everything was perfect

One of the best experience of my life. Alex AND Elena were always verte welcoming and helpful. I learnt a Lot about managing a hostel, and it was really Easy AND rewarding because it feels like you are talking care of you own house. If you are shy extrovert who struggles yo start a conversation, i totally recommend this experience! As a recepcionist, people Will reach out to you for directions,tips, etc., Then you start talking with them AND the rest Is history. I' ve made a lot friends from allá around the Worlds, AND deff long- time ones with volunteers AND the staff, thnx 😊💕

I had a very good experience voluteering in the guest house Propria. The tasks were very easy: cleaning everyday, bed making and helping with check in and check out. Elena always helped me with everything, so it was easier to feel the same energy to transmit to the guests. The other Elena was a very nice person too. Thank you so much for this great oportunity.

Évelin! a pleasure to share these days with you, always ready and with the best of smiles.
Thank you very much for choosing our accommodation for your stay in Valencia.
We wish you wonderful experiences on your trip!
Until next time!
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 :)
