I had an amazing experience with the hostel and Bike hostel, can't thank you guys enough! Shoutout to the other volunteer Camilla, the receptionists Mariana, Carly, Lily, Lautaro, Amuan, Diego, Hans and Havi and the owners; Fran and Marta. All the staff were helpful and patient with me. At first the bike route is a little tricky to memorise, but after the 8th time it just “clicked” for me and became much easier. I loved cooking family dinner where I was given the freedom to be creative and try new things. I learnt a lot about communication in this role. I would use this opportunity to explore barc!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! It was a real pleasure having you with us at Bed&Bike.
We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed guiding our activities. It’s great to know that you also learned and grew through the experience, that’s exactly what we hope our volunteers can take with them.
The bike route may have been a challenge at the beginning, but you definitely mastered it in the end!
Thank you for being such a positive, kind and easy-going part of the team.

One of the best experiences ever. Your main choirs are the bike tours and family dinners but also mini tasks that are completely doable. Being available and with a good attitude is key. I enjoyed so much my time here, the staff is very welcoming and ready to help in whatever they can. The room is a bit small but they are always adjusting things to make it more and more comfortable. I cannot recommend this volunteering enough! Thank you to everyone for making my stay so enjoyable, I miss you already ❤️

The hostel is locates in a centric area of Barcelona and having the bikes make it very easy to access everywhere in the city center.
The work is mainly bike tours in the morning and family dinner in the evening. There are two volunteers and we have the total flexibility to decide how to distribute the work.
I find the coworkers are very supportive and easy to work with, and the guests are mostly seasonal travellers, who have a respect to the local culture.
In general a great experience, I was given a lot of freedom and respect for the work I did.

My time at the hostel and Bike was incredible. It was my first Worldpackers experience, and it truly could not have been better. The staff was amazing and made me feel welcome from the very beginning. The tasks were enjoyable and well organized, and I genuinely looked forward to contributing each day. The bike tours were such a fun way to start the morning, and the family dinners created a warm, social environment where it was easy to connect with people from all over the world. Overall, this experience exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it.

My experience at BedandBike hostel was an exceptional experience. The tasks were very enjoyable, especially for those who enjoy interacting with people. One of our main responsibilities was taking guests on bike tours of iconic Barcelona landmarks. In the evenings, we prepared a vegan dinner for guests who had signed up in advance. We also had plenty of room for creativity in preparing the dishes, which I really enjoyed.
We always work with another volunteer, which made the atmosphere even better and make it easier to share responsibilities. Flexibility in schedule was also a big plus.

I had a great experience at the hostel & Bikes, the tasks are not difficult and the atmosphere is very quiet, all the staff were very kind and welcoming to me. The tasks are to cook for guests and do bike tours around the city, presenting the main tourist attractions. And sometimes we need to go to the market to buy something or help with housekeeping when there is no bike tour. I liked it a lot and I would definitely come back again.

I loved being here at the hostel!!! 🌸 It was a lot to learn at the beginning. The whole bike tour, knowing about the monuments and how to cook for lots of people. But Flor, the other volunteer, helped me a lot in the first few days!🥰 And after that I loved my work, especially the bike tours!🚴♀️ The bosses Fran and Marta are so nice too!☺️ But all the staff and Lucy, the cleaning lady, have become my family!!!♥️ A huge thank you for everything✨🫶

Where do i start, wow. I don't have enough words to describe my experience in this hostel. It truly felt like home. The bosses are super cool, staff amazing, i love them all so much. The hostel is cosy, very chill, great for meeting new people. Tasts were easy and joyful, you get to spend time with guests and make memories. I had a private room that i shared with the other volunteer. Special thanks to Adri who was the best manager i could ever ask for. This was my first volunteering experience, but i doubt something could beat this, really. Thank you again for the opportunity❤️

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 :)
