Descripción
My girlfriend and I are running a cosy surf hostel for backpackers for 7 years now. We are both used to travelling around the globe and decided to settle in the coastal city of Anglet nearby Biarritz, in the French Basque Country, to offer accommodation for travellers.

We’re looking for 2 team members to back us up for a minimum of 2 months from mid-August (ideally from the 10th of August) till mid/end of October.
Both fond of backpacking and meeting people from all over the world, my girlfriend (Fanny) and I (Clément) opened the place in 2017.
We set up this small family hostel with 15 beds in a traditional Basque house. Our guests often describe it as a “home away from home”.
From the very beginning, we’ve done our best to make our guests feel at home while making their stay on the Basque coast memorable. Indeed, we frequently organize events inside and outside the hostel such as barbecue nights, beach volley ball, petanque, picnics at the beach, going out to concerts… In the same time, we are very careful to keep everything super clean and tidy.
We’re looking for 2 team members to back us up for a minimum of 2 months from mid-August (ideally from the 10th of August). You would be 100% part of the team and not only dedicated to specific tasks but really versatile and fully involved in both the running and life of the hostel.
We’re looking for someone to take care of the ‘operational’ tasks: helping us with the daily cleaning, making the beds, washing the bedsheets and setting up the breakfast. You must be organized and like to keep things tidy and clean.
In the same time, we are not just looking for a cleaner, but someone who is enthusiastic and friendly, who likes to socialize with the guests, organize all kinds of events inside and outside the hostel, but also likes to party.
As we still have other small things to manage daily, we are looking for someone who is proactive, who likes to take action instead of waiting for instructions.
As you will be working in an international environment (70% of our guests are foreigners), we are looking for someone who is fluent in English and has a good level of French.
Although the position is paid as a part-time job, we are looking for a friendly relationship rather than a strict employer/employee relationship.
So, if you fit this description, let's get in touch 😊!
Note: an employment contract will be signed between the workawayer and the hostel and the work will be paid according to the minimum wage requirements in France. Therefore, only workawayers with a valid European passport will be accepted for this position.Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Español: Fluido
Francés: FluidoAlojamiento
Both workawayers will sleep on a bunk bed in a private bedroom in the hostel.
Algo más...
What we are offering:
Free accommodation including breakfast, laundry and use of a bike in exchange of 25 hours of help per day.
You will have your own private bedroom that you will share with the other workawayer and sleep on a bunk bed equipped with curtains for more privacy.
What we are expecting:
Someone not shy but talkative, who speaks a good level of French and is fluent in English and who likes connecting with the guests and help them organize their stay.
We are pretty flexible and just need to organize between us to ensure that there is always someone at the hostel to welcome guests and assist them during their stay.Un poco más de información

I spent one of the best summers of my life in this hostel, without really realizing that I was actually working. The hostel is small and cosy while still allowing space (garden area, large living room, etc...). The room/office is comfortable and the hosts are flexible… read more
Great hostel, by far the best I have ever worked and stayed at. I kept extending my stay because the workload was super fair, the guests from all over the world were super nice and I simply did not want to leave this paradise place. Especially when you like the beach, the surf and tons of fun events!! Also… read more
