Help
We are looking for volunteers to join our little family in Tamraght - a small surf village near Agadir and Taghazout!

If you're interested in immersing yourself in a coastal Moroccan lifestyle, meeting people, becoming part of a family, and using your skills to help us around our hostel we'd love to hear from you!

Reception experience and good writing and communication skills an advantage! Please write a little bit about your skills and strengths in your application!

Please note: We are NOT a party hostel, though do have social nights by the fire. Our vibe is very friendly and relaxed and is very popular with our guests. The atmosphere is family-like and it will be important that your personality fits the team and hostel vibe. Though you can get some beers and wine around, drinking is not part of the culture here so do not expect a big night-life or party scene.

Unfortunately, no couples as we can not give you same days off or private room.

In exchange, you will receive:
- a bed in a shared dorm
- breakfast & dinner daily. You’re also welcome to prepare your own meals if you wish.
- free laundry
MINIMUM 5 WEEK STAY
After 2wk trial period and subject to availability:
- Free excursions to Paradise Valley on your days off
- Free Yoga classes
- Free surf lessons and surf equipment rental

We cannot describe how amazing the experience was with Paul and Chloe on our team. At a time when both Adil and I were away, Paul and Chloe came in, picked up from the previous person and used their initiative to organise, get things done and move forward.

They have really positive energy and are so inspiring. They left a mark with all staff,… read more

I’ve had many different experiences through workaway, all over the world - and this is BY FAR the best experience anyone can ever come across. If you have the opportunity to go - GO.
My fiancé and I stayed here for 2.5 months and it was one of the best decisions of our lives. :heart:

This was our first Workaway experience and we couldn't have asked for more. We were made to feel like family from the day we arrived...planned to stay for a couple of months and ended up dragging ourselves away after 4!

The staff are INCREDIBLE - working alongside them was a pleasure. They are full of fun and laughter, nothing is ever too hard.… read more

Katherine and Zen were two of our best workawayers! We can’t recommend them highly enough!!!

While starting off as a volunteer receptionist, Katherine quickly became a paid staff member! Her ability to take on tasks, adapt to a new environment and organise our systems was invaluable to our place. She immersed herself into her new role swiftly and… read more

Brendan stayed with us for 3months. As a carpenter by trade give him the tools and this guy will build you anything!
Very easy going and friendly guy, we were so happy to have him around the hostel, part of our team and around our guests.
He is also an amazing cook! Brendan can come up with many ideas with even the most limited options. We… read more

I feel very lucky and grateful to have been given the opportunity to spend almost seven amazing weeks at this unique hostel. Adil and Irena are very generous, kind, flexible and easy going hosts and always ready to help.

Rahel was personally recommended to us by her previous host in Tarifa, Spain and we couldn't be more pleased! She even stayed longer than first anticipated which was great for us :)
Rahel is reliable, a very self-motivated person and a quick learner (she picked up on most of her duties just by taking initiative to get things done!).
She can be… read more

I stayed at Irena and Adil's hostel for two weeks. Althought it was out of the season and there was not much guests in the hostel, they invited me to come and help them out at the hostel. I was helping out Mhand and Ayoub (guys that work in hostel) with making the breakfast, serving and cleaning after, cleaning the rooms, changing the beds and… read more

Mustafa was a big help in our hostel! He is very mature, yet light spirited and was able to make his way around our place on his own. He was genuinely interested in getting to know all our guests and making them feel at home!
Every morning he helped out with breakfast prep, lunch when required and his dinners were delicious.
We learnt a lot from… read more
