I spent three weeks at the hostel and had an amazing experience! There was a great balance between working hours and days off, which gave me plenty of time to explore the island. I met wonderful people at the hostel, and we enjoyed doing many activities together. The location is excellent! Close to the ocean and within walking distance of restaurants, various activities, and bus stops. The work was straightforward, mainly involving managing and cleaning the property, as well as handling check-ins.

I spent two and a half weeks at the hostel and had a great time. The work is easy, and the tasks are clearly explained. Just some cleaning, laundry, making beds, and check ins. I had plenty of time to enjoy the island. Rafa is a great manager and a really nice person. I always felt welcome and received help when needed. As a volunteer, you can borrow surfboards and wetsuits and the beach is just 1min away. Rafa even tried to teach me how to surf. I would highly recommend this hostel. Thank you guys for such a nice time!

Everything was perfect. The place is nice and infront of the Ocean; in particular you have a surf spot at few meters from the hostel if you like surfing and you can take the boards and wetsuits. Rafael and his tram are really kind people, respectful of the person and of your time. Shifts are easy and flexible based on your needs, so that you have a lot of free time to explore the island.
In addition, when he had time, he helped me with the surf and gave me precious suggestions to improve.

Rafael, Anne and Gianna were very nice and he gave us private surf lessons whenever the volunteers wanted it. Work is not much, mostly cleaning and maybe 3 check-ins a day. The hostel is directly at Las Canteras :) But there are no fix, planned hostel activities every day like yoga, volleyball etc. like in bigger hostels. But you can connect very quick with other guests, the kitchen and living room decoration is amazing.
