This was my first volunteer experience and I loved it. Valladolid is charming, full of kind people and way more to do than expected, the hostel is small, close-knit, flexible and relaxed. You shape responsibilities together, so volunteers have lots of input. Abel, the volunteer coordinator, is there every step of the way, super fun and supportive. Ivan, the owner, is hardworking and great to practise Spanish with. They're always improving and love creative ideas, perfect for someone who takes initiative.

This was my first volunteering experience and it has exceeded my expectations. The owner, Ivan, is very kind and Abel (who runs a large part of the Hostel) creates an unforgettable (local!!) experience for both volunteers and guests. The hours were flexible and as discussed. I had a lot of freedom in fulfilling my role as a volunteer: organizing events, taking the guest on tours and look for and work on improvements for the Hostel. The hostel changed management 3/4 months ago, which is why there is a lot of room for creating new and exciting experiences for the guests. Forever grateful!

My experience at the hostel was a heartwarming touch to the heart :) Iván is the most humane, empathetic, and funny person I have met on my trip so far. If I didn't have other commitments, I would have stayed much longer at the hostel, I felt at home😭

Side note: the hostel is super clean (they clean every day religiously), it's super social so you'll make friends right away, and under Iván's care you are in good hands🫶🏻

My experience at the hostel was incredible, and it was also my first volunteering, which made it even more special. Iván is an excellent host, very kind, open, and always willing to help. From the first day I felt welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere at the hostel is very nice, social, and full of good energy. I am grateful for this experience and I definitely recommend the hostel to anyone who wishes to have a meaningful volunteering experience in Valladolid. 💛
