We are a team formed by 2 receptionists, 1 waitress, and 1 administrator. We all work as a team to carry out all the hostel's activities. Volunteering is a fundamental part, where we make use of all their knowledge and skills to promote and strengthen the hostel's structure.

About the experience in: MedellĂn, Colombia
Philippines
I had a very chill volunteering experience here. I'm very thankful I found this place. Maryelis, Natalie, and all the volunteers were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. My tasks were mostly night reception, sweeping, taking out the garbage, emptying trash bins, putting away clean dishes, preparing coffee, and getting the breakfast ingredients ready. The hostel is always clean, and the area feels safe. The MetroplĂşs station is just a few meters away, making it easy to get around. I highly recommend volunteering here.

For the second time in a little over a year I must express my immense gratitude for the trust placed in me by Maryelis from the hostel for having allowed me to undertake a new volunteering. the hostel welcomed me as my own home. The accommodation provides peace, tranquility and some tasks that are very easy to carry out although not for that reason, they are less important. On both occasions, the team of volunteers I met were super 'cool'. Without a doubt, it is a hostel where the experience goes beyond what one can imagine. The location is wonderful.

About the experience in: MedellĂn, Colombia

The host is very dedicated and respectful, I wish her the best.
However, I regretted being here. There was a silencing treatment by some volunteers (Gerald and Cristian) which made me feel sad and unwelcome. I felt invisible and avoided.
The basics are provided (a very simple bed and breakfast), with a limited setup for volunteers (a small shared room without a window). The communal living space no longer exists.
It was a learning experience, but it made me feel insecure and had a strong emotional impact, I decided to return to my country earlier than planned.

Beatriz, thanks for your comment. From the start you had difficulties fulfilling your duties: you did not perform some tasks, you missed shifts, and this affected the team. I was always patient and from the first moment I asked you if you felt comfortable or if you preferred to withdraw. I'm sorry you felt that way, but volunteering also requires commitment and responsibility.

Very pleasant experience. MedellĂn is a great city, and enjoying it from a space like the hostel has greatly enriched my experience. Hosts, volunteers and guests have incredible energy. They are very understanding and flexible in their organization. I would 1000% recommend this hostel; it is very quiet and located in a very strategic spot that allows you to get to know the city in the best possible way.
