We always receive 6 worldpackers at the same time who stay in a shared dorm (8 beds), or in a volunteers' room with bunk beds.
The collaborative schedule is weekly and announced every Friday. It is valid for the following week.
The work to be performed involves check-in/check-out (we use the HQ system), responding to emails and social media, answering the phone, preparing breakfast (this occurs in both the morning and night shifts) and, if needed, helping with cleaning.
Reception activities include: check-in, check-out, guiding guests about tours, nightlife, and restaurants; asking a few questions at the service evaluation checkout and suggesting reviews. The shifts are 28 hours per week.
Volunteer rights
• Accommodation during the term of this agreement, in a shared room, in the bed assigned by the hostel. 50% of the period will be allocated to the upper bunk bed and 50% to the lower bunk bed.
• A locker, the one corresponding to your bed.
• We do not offer breakfast; we provide the basic items for preparing your meal: rice, beans, pasta, sugar, oil and salt.
• Use of the hostel's common infrastructure, the same as offered to all guests.
Volunteer duties
• Complete 28 hours per week of collaborative work.
• During your collaborative shift, the volunteer should present themselves promptly, willing, sober, with clean clothes.
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 :)
