Maison Verte Budget Edition
Our hostel is small and cozy, with only 7 rooms, which makes the chores easy and not burdensome. 🌿 We are located in the heart of Arequipa's historic center, so you'll have everything nearby: from the Plaza de Armas to the beautiful Valle de Chilina, which is just a short walk away. Here you can enjoy a relaxed experience, blending city life with nature.
I'm French and I've been living in Peru for over 12 years. I run the accommodation together with my Peruvian wife, and we always welcome volunteers with kindness, respect, and good treatment. We consider them part of the team and strive to make them feel comfortable, like at home. In addition, I know the region very well and I'll be happy to share tips and recommendations so that your experience in Arequipa and its surroundings is unforgettable. ✨

About the experience in: Arequipa, Peru
Brazil
Volunteering at the hostel was something incredible and a turning point for me! I met incredible people, made friends and enjoyed Arequipa to the fullest. The shift was very calm and flexible, the room comfortable and the schedules were agreed upon. I loved having been part of this family and I hope to see them again. Thank you, hostel family!

Well, to be honest my experience at the hostel was excellent, one of the best volunteering experiences I've been part of. The place is central, you have everything nearby, plus it's comfortable; cozy. You really feel at home. Elliot and Claudia are extremely kind, respectful and considerate. The schedules are flexible; that allows you to organize to be able to carry out the activities you want to do. Something extremely important to mention is that volunteering is with a private room!! Which adds a lot to the experience. Without further to say, I highly recommend!! Thank you very much 🫂

It has been my first volunteer experience and definitely the best place to start. We arrived a week early, and the fellow volunteers welcomed us with a lot of warmth. We met amazing people and connected right away. The hosts were very kind and also gave us a great welcome. Thank you, Eliot and Claudia, for accepting us and for the opportunity to live this experience. The tasks and shifts are exactly as described. They are easy tasks to learn, and any doubt was always resolved with the help of the fellow volunteers and the hosts. I recommend this place. I miss you all already!

Elliot and Claudia are wonderful hosts, always available in case of questions. They explained in detail the tasks of the hostel, which are very simple and relaxed, and exactly as described. At the beginning of each week you know which shift you will have, that allows a good organization of your free time. The rooms are private for volunteers, but the bathrooms and the kitchen are shared. Living with the other volunteers was unbeatable, we connected instantly and spent a lot of time together creating unforgettable memories :) 100% recommended, especially for beginners!

This experience was truly enjoyable; it wasn't just the city or the facilities. Elliot and Claudia are great hosts, I always felt comfortable, valued, and respected. The place's atmosphere is calm and clean; it is perfectly located, and I had the opportunity to meet very special people. In my opinion it's a 10/10 and I would definitely return 🥰 Thank you 🌻
