Good Vibes or Good Bye, easy schedule changing beds / rooms between guests.

Very easy job! The host was very accommodating and everyone there was super friendly. Great place to stay if you don’t want to do too much work while still having a place to sleep with a cool community.

My experience here was amazing! I was able to explore around San Diego all while doing my daily duties of cleaning the kitchen and whatever else was needed in the hostel. I met some lifelong friends while living here and we are still keeping in touch after I have left. Everyone was very sweet and if you ever need anything, you can ask Andy and he will help you out. Thank you so much for such a great experience and can’t wait to come back(:

Thank you for your kind words! It gives me joy as a host to enable home living for guests and volunteers to experience San Diego local neighborhood living, especially among a fun international community.
Welcome back soon!

The Hostel was a very nice experience. You are very close to all the other volunteers but also the other guests. In evening there is often a campfire or a little get together.
Also your work is very relaxed. You’re supposed to wash some dishes, keep everything today or help with laundry. Also since I was responsible for social media, I could some rule my own day, which was a great opportunity to get to know San Diego
Very recommendable experience !

Great content! Your content will be turned into reels and stories to help promote our Instagram @TheHostelCalifornia
We appreciate! For future volunteers reading this, the idea is to mash-up 15-30 second clips of your experiences around the hostel, around the neighborhood, and around all the amazing natural and cultural sites of San Diego!
