Amazing first volunteering experience. The work isn't difficult, and once you understand the routine, everything becomes easy and relaxed. Living with other volunteers was a beautiful experience. I felt at home from the very first moment and truly felt part of a family — not only with the volunteers but also with the guests. It's special to meet people from all over the world and share moments together. Special thanks to Ezequiel, an incredible and supportive manager who makes everyone feel welcome. I'm very grateful for this experience and the memories I'm taking with me!

I absolutely loved my time in the hostel (there are 2 and I got to volunteer at the hostel Art Hostel)! There was a strong sense of belonging and family and I felt at home very quickly. The team is absolutely amazing, always helpful and supportive. We ended up doing many activities together in our free time and the vibes were generally very positive. The work schedules were fair and left enough free time to explore the island. The tasks mostly included reception of guests and some cleaning in the morning. Whenever I had a question or minor issue, the director responded quickly.

While the hostel is ok, the job is very demanding, almost to the point of being exploitative. The experience did not work for me, so I left after a few shifts after communicating with the owner. The job is far more work (6-7 hours a day, 5 days a week) than any hostel I've worked in with absolutely no benefits other than a small shared room. The job responsibility was cleaning the entire hostel by yourself every day. Far too much work for a volunteer position, and it seemed to me that no one was happy to work there. Everyone waited out their sentence just to explore the island for cheap.

Thanks a lot, Brinn!! Taking into account that you were irresponsible from the very beginning and now you’re making us look bad. Why aren’t you writing that down? Do you remember that you had confirmed for 2 months, but as soon as you arrived, without even knowing what tasks you would have to do, you said you could stay only 2 weeks? And all this without prior notice either; you’ve simply done it, which has left other people who were eager to be part of the project without a place. Best regards :)

I really love this experience working in such a great, energetic environment. I had the pleasure to meet so many different fun individuals. The team works in a good harmony so that I really felt welcome since the beginning. It's a place where you can be yourself. Besides that I was doing my best to ensure every client got the most pleasant stay. Good Communication with the guests was very important to me. I was helping as good as I can using all my 5 languages in order to communicate with guests of different nationalities as well helping my team members with german guests. Beautiful place:)

I had a good time as a volunteer and am very thankful for the experiences I made and the people I met. Working at the hostel was in general a good experience. The agreed upon hours are respected and at times the manager would even cover a shift so that we could do something together as the volunteers. There are two hostels and there are three volunteers in each one taking turns with the shifts. Just know that volunteering at this location, you will always be working alone and the work is almost exclusively cleaning, but you will definitely be practicing a lot of Spanish.

For being my first volunteer was a very experience, I met wonderful people who taught me to live better and believe in my dreams. I practiced my spanish and english although at the beginning it was not easy to adapt. Thank uu!

What an Experience! Giovanni is an absolutely fantastic person, who truly treats us like family. He took great care of the volunteers and his love for his hostel is beautiful. I 100% recommend this place as I already miss it (and I left yesterday). Thank you for everything!

The owner and the workers are extremely welcoming and friendly people, I miss them already! The work is very fair and the environment they create makes the work fun. Although it wasn't too busy in the hostel when I was there it was still a great place to be and always someone to talk to and have some fun with :)

It was my first time volunteering and the experience was fantastic. In this hostel you feel as if you were at home, I had never felt that in the other ones where I have been. The crew is very accessible and there is always an atmosphere of confidentiality. Working hours and the agreement of what they offer are respected. The city of the hostel is perfect if you are looking for a quiet place for a while, everything is close to the Hostel and if you like walking you can arive wherever you want by feet 🤠✨

An amazing experience for my first volunteering opportunity.
Ezequiel was super kind from the start. The work is light and it gives you total flexibility and free time to explore the island and even to work remotely without problems.
In addition, in the last few days I had the pleasure of meeting Uriel, a very polite and respectful person. The atmosphere with them and with the other volunteers was unbeatable, I felt at home.
Without a doubt I would repeat it a thousand times and I would recommend it to anyone :)
