Been volunteering 5 years+ & nothing compares to this, I truly had the BEST time 🙌🏻 The work is easy & u have so much free time, I made friends for life with the other volunteers, staff & guests🤍 Paul, Johan & Santy thank u from the bottom of my heart for absolutely everything ❤️ VOLUNTEERS: Enjoy every moment because it goes fast & I am so jealous of anyone who gets to experience here from the start. They made a lot of changes in the 2 months I was there, extended the dorm & can choose food from menu, we can stay other places free & get discounts on everything🙌🏻

The hostel is a small trek to get to, but close to beaches, rivers, waterfalls, shops, towns by walking/public bus. Shifts are simple, the staff is chill, 30 hrs is a bit but when you're working you still get to hangout w volunteers/guests/staff. The manager, Johan, and the owner, Paul, were both welcoming and fun to be around, genuinely wanting everyone to have a good experience. Keep in mind, it is in the jungle, basic things — 3 walled dorm, shower, and bthrm, no hot water, electricity and water can go out at times due to storms. Loved being in nature and enjoyed my time here <3

I couldn't recommend the hostel enough! The staff and owner are super friendly and welcoming, the room is comfortable and open, the hours are set by a weekly schedule and they will never EVER ask you to work a minute longer than the agreed times and the food is simple but nice vegetarian meals (option to pay for meat too)! We also get discounts in the hostel and to go to other places for our weekends which is really nice for the budget! FYI: some past volunteer reviews had me skeptical but they've taken those into consideration and made a few changes that pretty much solved all the issues!

The places is amazing , very chill and comfortable, definitely it's a place where you can have a break of everything while your traveling, the staff in general is very kind and supportive, the owners are always there so you can speak with them anytime you need it , there's some waterfalls and places to swim close but you will need to be ready to do come hiking , it's a really good adventure

My time volunteering at the hostel was really great, the place is inspiring and you are literally immersed in nature (which is what I really wanted). Paul and Yael were super helpful to me and the entire team became almost like family to me during that moment. I intend to return to the region in the future and I will definitely return to the hostel, as a guest or volunteer again. thank you for everything :)

This place is paradise, you will be blown away by the beauty and nature of the hostel! Massive shoutout to Johan for being the greatest boss of all time, he goes the extra mile to make sure you have an unforgettable experience. The volunteers that the hostel attracts are amazing, I have some really great memories here so much so I extend by 3 more weeks! The work can be a little demanding at times however nothing that wasn't agreed too at the beginning. You can visit the hostel, Minca, Palomino, Taganga, beautiful beaches along the coast and multiple waterfalls! Thank you guys! 🫶🏾

Valley is an amazing hostel with amazing view of the mountains and wanderful people. I connected with the nature and also the other volunteers. I had to leave a couple of days earlier but that was thankfully no problem. The manager is very kind and friendly. Thank you for everything🫶🏼

The hostel was a great Worldpackers experience. The work was the agreed hours and was varied so you can help out in various areas during your time there! Obviously it's a beautiful setting and everyone who works there (volunteers and permanent staff) were super easy to get along with so overall I had a really fun time! There's also beautiful places to visit nearby and you can experience a more local vibe if you want. Would defo recommend volunteering here if you have the chance!!♥️♥️

Super cool and chill place. Get your job done properly and enjoy the surrounding jungle. Angela and Sebastian are the two main pillars about the volunteering experience. An huge thanks to all the staff, everyone is really accomodating and let you easily become part of the family. I stayed for a week longer because the place and the energy are just amazing. I'll try to go back soon.

I was coming here with no expectations but I was happily surprised by all the aspects. The shifts are clear and always accomplished, the owners always listen to your needs and try to do the best to respect them. The tasks are well done, very simple. All the food is provided and the accomodation is a shared dorm for volunteers. Everything was amazing here, such a calm and wonderful place. Every day you have the chance to met guests from all over the world. I had the greatest time in the kitchen helping with my locas! Thanks for the amazing opportunity 10/10!! Go here if you have the chance!
