Whether its learning simple construction methods, joinery or even the beginnings of a new language we believe that there are many different skills that can be exchanged in a short amount of time at our new hostel.

Workawayers are likely to expect check-in procedures, general cleaning duties and entertaining of guests in the evenings.

We dont provide meals for volunteers but do have a kitchen and cooking facilities on site for all guests and volunteers to use.

This was my first WorkAway experience and it was pretty great!

Vom Workawayer (Stina & Sam) für Host

What a great location! the hostel is located in the old town of Vegueta, with foodmarkets, bars and cafés just around the corner. The work itself is pretty chill, mostly cleaning, cooking and reception work (depending on what shift you get when you arrive). You always get a 30 minute break and the work is not too heavy. Normally you work 5 hours a… read more day, 5 days a week. If you end up doing the reception shift you might be working 4 days a week instead with longer shifts. Everybody gets a weekly schedule to follow and it's fair hours for everybody working. The hostel has a super relaxed feeling to it and you will feel like home right away! Not all hostels have this feeling to it, so this is really really good. It also has an awesome rooftop terrace with a bar where you get a discount if you're staff.

With all this said we do think that some things need improving for this to be the perfect workaway. The staff rooms are dark with no windows. It's only 3 people per room which is great, but the rooms still needs improving. Our room had a constant wet/damp smell to it and at one point the lights broke and they didn't get it fixed until it had gone over a week. It had holes and cords sticking out off the walls, it really felt like a bunker.

During the 3 weeks we spent working and living in the hostel, we got served the same dinner almost every day. The staff cooks the food together at night and we all tried our best to get some variation into it, but it's really hard when you don't get much to work with. We don't think that frozen vegetables, chopped tomatoes and pasta/rice every day is good enough for all the hours you work. Once a week there's a BBQ on the terrace where people can bring their own meat and that day there is no food provided for staff so you have to get your own.

You also do not get paid as said on their workaway. If you manage to get a 10/10 review from a booking site, with your name mentioned in it, you get a 10 euro bar tab for the bar upstairs, but that's all.

With all this said, this is a really good workaway but we do think it's alot of hours working for what you get. There's not many benefits for workers in general, so it does need some improving. But it's such a cool hostel with some really awesome people and we would definitely recommend people to go anyways, it's in such a great place you wouldn't want to miss out!

And it would be wrong of us not to mention all the beautiful staff (and guests) that totally made our stay. In the end it's always about the people you meet. You will all be missed and we'll never forget all of our funky nights around the hostel ;)

I stayed at the Hostel for 1,5 months in November. It was my first workaway experience and I can honestly say that it couldn't have been better. I was working at the bar, 5 days a week with great flexibility in terms of days off. The work was light and suitable for what I wanted to do and see during my time on the island. But most importantly, I… read more
