Jose creates a very friendly environment. We had a lot of fun internal events, like pizza or movie nights, and a space to discuss the organization of the days. The people at the hostel are amazing - warm and welcoming. You feel part of the team right away. You can surf, skate or snorkel with the hostel equipment. The beach is 3 mins away from the hostel - i had my morning coffee with an ocean view or a beach walk most of the days. The location for local partying or island travelling is perfect.

It was my first time volunteering, so I didn't know exactly what to expect. However, from day one, I felt welcomed and comfortable, just like a part of the hostel family.

There is definitely a lot of work at the hostel, but by helping each other and working as a team, we always managed to get everything done. The staff genuinely cared about how I was feeling and were always very flexible with my schedule and time off.

I shared so many amazing adventures with the guests and other volunteers, and the atmosphere made me feel right at home. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

My experience at Kite & Surf Hostel was very positive. The volunteer community was wonderful, and from the first moment I felt at home. The staff are very caring, always kind and available to resolve any doubt or problem.
The island is wonderful and there is a lot to do, so you will never get bored. It has been, without a doubt, the best volunteering experience I have had so far. I couldn't recommend it more!

My time in Gran Canaria and at the Surf Camp is something I'll never forget. From day one, the staff and other volunteers welcomed me with so much warmth, way more than I ever expected. It's the kind of place where you build real connections and share amazing moments. I honestly think it's a magical spot, and if you go with the right mindset, you can really feel the great energy. The schedules and tasks were always respected. José, Teresa, and Serena were super professional, but also really friendly and flexible. This experience gave me so much in every way<3

The kite and surf hostel has been a little home for this last month. They have been welcoming, they were flexible and comprehensive for every need. Helping them and participating to some of their events has been really nice. If you are searching for a life near the ocean where you can live in your bikini that's the one!! Thanks Jose, Serena and Teresa and all the other volunteers for my staying!!
