I had a great volunteering experience at this hostel. I helped with cleaning, preparing rooms for guests, and taking care of the plants. The tasks were clear and well organized. Diego is a kind and attentive host who creates a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I also loved the two adorable kittens Lemon and Mandarin, who make the hostel even more special. I really enjoyed my time here and would recommend this place to other volunteers. I already miss you the hostel, Diego, Cata, Rafael, Valentina, Lemon and Mandarin ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your beautiful words. Having you as a volunteer was truly special. Your dedication, kindness, and positive energy made a real difference in the daily life of the hostel. More than the tasks you helped with, it was your presence and warmth that meant the most. We miss u! Knowing that you felt at home here is everything to us. Thank you for being part of Lighthouse — and for loving Lemon and Mandarin as much as we do. You’ll always have a home here. ❤️

I had a really good experience at this hostel in Buenos Aires! I met so many amazing people and the team was really cool and welcoming. A special thank you to Diego, the owner, for having me! The work is honestly not very difficult, but you need to be able to work independently, take initiative, and see what needs to be done without always waiting for someone to tell you what to do. Overall, it was a great experience and I'm really grateful for the people I met there! ❤️

I was supposed to stay for a month but left after two days. Everything was super unorganized and I can't work like that. There was no real structure, which might work for other people but personally I expect a host to explain things in detail and make sure I know what to do. It seemed to me that he didn't really care and I felt left alone. Wifi was very bad, can't really use it. There are two small cats who I found to be more annoying than cute - especially when cleaning. They also create problems always running into the rooms and one of them shat on a bed. I didn't feel comfortable overall.

El hostel fue una experiencia como ninguna otra. Conoci gente increible, mejore mi ingles y aprendes arreglartelas con lo que tienes. El equipo siempre fue amable y abierto, dispuestos a ayudar en todo lo que puedan. Al principio puede ser un poco confuso, dado que no hay una dirección clara de lo que hay que hacer en cada momento. Pero si eres alguien proactivo, te acostumbraras rapido y trataras el hostel como si fuese tu casa. Pdt: Sea quien seas, cuida a Mandarina, es demasiado lindo y estupido para este mundo. Limon estara bien, es mas lista y salvaje.
