I really enjoyed my three weeks of volunteering at Backpacker's hostel. It was low season so there wasn't a lot of guest, the tasks were more about keeping the hostel clean. El Paredon is a really good place to stay as there is always something to do :)

I've really enjoyed my experience in this hostel. The place is very cosy and the fact that the volunteering pay the food and the volunteers can cook in the outside kitchen has been an amazing thing !

My volunteering experience here was short but overall very positive. I had planned to stay longer, but I realised that the heat and mosquitoes made it difficult for me to continue. Despite that, I'm really grateful for the time I spent there. Nery is a very kind and welcoming host, and I felt well received throughout my stay. The atmosphere is very social and international, with lots of young travelers, events, surfing, and a lively vibe. It's definitely a great place for people who enjoy a social and active environment.

I've had an amazing month at the hostel in El Paredon!! The work was manageable, mostly cleaning and being available at reception :)) It's a relaxed athmosphere in a calm hostel, but the party hostels are all really close (10 min walk). The beach is also close by which is incredible for watching sunsets! The work is easy and structured, though it's 6 hours and not 5, but that's also written in the agreement Nery shares with you before taking the volunteering position :)) Overall I've had an amazing time!!

My three-week stay at the hostel was great. I came to improve my surfing, and being only five minutes from the beach was a huge advantage. I rented a board from a local shop and got a good deal through the hostel. The volunteer work was relaxed and the hours were respected. The booking system could be clearer and organization was sometimes lacking, but overall it was easy. Nery was welcoming and provided enough food for three full meals a day. I had a positive experience and would recommend it.
