When I arrived, they had no space for me as they had taken another workawayer without informing me - I guess this can happen sometimes (and they tried to help me find another place) but make sure you confirm with them before arriving.

I worked there for two weeks. It was my first workaway experience. Pau and his parents are very welcoming and always helpfull. The work at the reception is easy and give a chance to meet a lot of interesting people. The hostel on its own is very cozy and relaxing. I had a really good time there. Thank you very much :)
