The hostel was my first volunteering gig & I can't imagine a better place to do it! The staff was super friendly, chatty & very patient with me. I was mostly helping in the kitchen, waitressing & cleaning the dishes. The work was quite easy. Working times were alternating with another volunteer & they didn't mind if we switched our shifts or started a little later/earlier. On the rooftop you'll always find someone to chat with, so you'll never be alone. Over all a great experience that I would never want to miss!

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The staff is very welcoming and made me feel like part of the family from day one. I enjoyed life at the hostel as well as outside at the beach and in the Medina of Essaouira. I will definitely come back. Thanks to everyone, Alix

Alix was a great volunteer, unfortunately she couldn't stay longer with us but for sure we would have her back. She's always with a smile on her face ready to face any challenge, with a very positive atitude on life and work. She did mainly reception and bar work and had no problem at all doing it since first day 1. Thank you for all your help Alix !!!

My time in Essaouira has been quite special. The hostal is big and beatiful, the beach is just 2 minutes walking. The hostal has a lot of international guests, so, I could practice and improve my english and also learned a little of arabic language. I mainly worked on painting, organizing and helping in the kitchen. The volunteer include two foods, but usually they gave me three foods and its delicious. . Oussama and people working there are amazing people, open-minded and full of positive energy. I hope to meet you again!
