I had the best time at the hostel and would recommend it to everyone! I felt instantly welcomed by Paul and his wife Dani. They are great people and care deeply about the hostel and everyone staying there. You can really tell that the place is well taken care of. Everything was very organized and clearly communicated. There's other volunteers staying at the hostel as well which I loved and the hostel attracts great guests! I loved the yoga classes in the mornings. Thank you!

This was such a lovely place to volunteer and live. I would've stayed longer if I could! Paul and Dani have created such a welcoming/chill hostel. The work was easy and enjoyable. It was great to be able to surf and do yoga multiple times a week! The town has everything you need and the locals were super friendly! Great for practising Spanish!

Had an amazing experience here! Paul was a amazing host, kind and straightforward with the expectations but also a good person to be around as a volunteer . The hostel is very relaxing as well as the town with opportunities to have fun if you want to out in the town. Overall the whole experience was so relaxing and calm:) The schedule was also very nice and straightforward with the tasks. One day on the next off then repeated. I would def recommend this volunteer experience if you are looking for a relaxing volunteer experience.
