Sammy is looking for people that are interested in working 20 hours a week. Jobs can vary from all around house cleaning to office work, depending on what's needed of you and not what you would necessarily prefer. We are not looking for people only interested in the idea of sitting in the office behind a desk. Even those that eventually work in the office will be required to help clean. What we are looking for is people that have an attitude to work at whatever the hostel needs. Office work is limited as there are only a few available spots open at any given time and are usually filled by persons that stay at the hostel for extended periods of time. If this sounds good to you, please let us know.

We prefer to have at least 8 "freeloaders" in the house at any given time but depending on the needs of the hostel it is possible to have more. Availability depends on the current freeloaders in the hostel. You may work in the hostel for as little as a week but more is generally preferred. In exchange for working in the hostel you will be allowed to live in the hostel free of charge with all of the same rights as other guests (free breakfast included). In addition, up to 8 people can live in the two freeloader dorms that have their own TV's with DVD players.

Freeloader Requirements -
  • A good understanding of English. Understanding some Spanish is helpful but not required (we can help you with it).
  • Flexible with work hours (done in 2 to 4 shifts a week)
  • Will work as required (and not just play pool and/or watch TV)
  • Friendly people that like to meet other friendly people from all over the world

Interested? Let Us Know

Please Note : There are no available paid positions in the hostel so please do not inquire about this. The hostel does not have the resources for this. The only work available is the above stated offer. Thank You
