The experience

Volunteer work consists of helping to keep the hostel tidy and clean; tasks include cleaning the reception, common areas (pool, garden, gym, BBQ area), kitchen and bathrooms. On some occasions you will need to help make the beds for checkouts. The schedules are mostly night shifts (00:00 to 08:00), so you must be willing to work night shifts; if these are already filled you will have morning or afternoon shifts.
