Hostel Serena

To live some time in the cultural laidback village Samaipata, in beautiful and authentic Bolivia will give you great experiences! In and around Samaipata there is much to do! From the musea to beautiful nature. It´s important you speak English since most of our guests are foreigners, and reasonable Spanish. Welcome!

We´re a Bolivian-Dutch family with two children (5 and 7 years), we opened our hostel end october 2016 in Samaipata. Located on 10 minutes by foot from the main square and market, with a magnificent view over the green mountains and the village Samaipata.

We had an great time volunteering at Serena Hostel. It’s a beautiful place to spend time. Tasks are straight forward, mainly cleaning, checking-in guests and helping with guest queries. Be sure to agree days off in advance as there are some many great hikes in the local area. Bert was flexible and accommodating!

O Hostel é bem bonito e aconchegante. As tarefas são tranquilas de serem realizadas (a maioria com limpeza) e também estar em conta durante o turno para receber hóspedes que cheguem e tirar suas dúvida.
O o quarto dos voluntários é apertado, e quando cheguei estavam fazendo uma reforma para abrir um tubo no teto pra entrar ar (já que não tem janela), o que foi um detalhe um pouco chato.
O Bert é simpático e sempre avisa no grupo dos voluntários que tarefas são para o dia, a única coisa é que se você quer ter um dia completamente livre tem que avisar, já que não é pré-acordado.

El Hostel Serena y sus anfitriones (Bert y María) son realmente ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! Estoy agradecida por la oportunidad que tuve en este voluntariado. Pude practicar y mejorar mi ingles, estar relajada y habitar el Hostel sintiendome como en casa, gracias! Bert siempre está muy dispuesto a escuchar, es muy flexible y las tareas diarias no son para nada pesadas. Pasé un hermoso tiempo aquí, de hecho extendí mi estadía! Recomiendo no perderse la experiencia✨🫂
