I had a really great experience volunteering at the hostel in El Médano. From the beginning, there was a beautiful atmosphere in the hostel, both among the volunteers and with the managers. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The tasks are clear and well organized, and the managers are always available to help. You also have plenty of free time to explore Tenerife. I would definitely recommend this experience! ❤️

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best experiences of my life, if not the best so far. The people who run this hostel are the most fun, easy-going and they love what they do. Managers Mati and Tizzi were absolutely amazing, communicative and clear on what needed to be done. The work shedule is very good for also having time to explore the island. The location of the hostel is a bit remote from the town (30mins on foot) but the walk along the ocean becomes your routine and the hostel is next to the most stunning beach and mountain. I recommend this experience a lot, thanks

I had a great time at the hostel. The atmosphere at the hostel is very warm and welcoming and it feels like home. Especially during high season it's very easy to connect with international travellers and to spend time with the guests in the many common areas of the house. The location is incredible! It's close to the ocean and to one of the most beautiful beaches in Tenerife. The work is easy and well organised, and I had a lot of free time to travel around and enjoy the island.
I will be back soon, thank you for this experience!

I can higly recomend the hostel, it was like a small family to me and the vibe was in general super friendly, funny and just good. I collected a lot of good memories in that time and even stayed longer. The work conditions are really fair, one day working and the next day off and you will not get ask to do more. The work is totally manageable if you know how to clean you're own flat you will not have a problem. The managers Matti and Tizi make sure that everyone feels comfortable, and you can come to them with any problems – they are there for you. In general 10/10 Thanks for everything
