Our experience (volunteering with a friend) was very positive. On the administrative side, everything agreed was fulfilled (the tasks, the hours, the benefits, etc.) and, as for the personal aspect, the treatment with the staff and the rest of the volunteers was very good and, while it has its share of luck, we believe it is a safe space to raise whatever is necessary. The town has a lot to do; we recommend volunteering here if you are looking for a quiet place amid all the activity you will have outside. Grateful to the owners and to all the people we met ;)

I met incredible people who were always there to help if I needed it, David, Maureen and Elisa, incredible people, always attentive and very friendly. There are many activities to do every day and the hostel is a very quiet hostel where you can be comfortable without noise.
