The Experience

Hello, traveler! At Usaquén Station Hostel we believe that details make the difference. We are a vibrant and welcoming space, but like any home with a lot of life, we need skilled hands to keep it immaculate. If you enjoy manual work, know how to use tools, and enjoy seeing how a space transforms with a good repair or a touch of paint, this is your place!

The volunteers were amazing, and I had a great time with them. I also loved the dogs, Mia and Lluvia. The owner and manager were nice. However, this was the most physically demanding volunteer role I've done. Although it's listed as 4 days a week, one of the 3 days off is spent cleaning the second building where volunteers stay. Most days, one volunteer handles housekeeping for the hostel, second building, and a private home. On the night of my last shift, I developed a fever due to body aches and had to ask the manager not to assign me extra work the following day.

The hostal was great, Maria (the administrator) takes well care of her volunteers, she always tells you the tasks upfront, they can be very hard at the beginning, like cleaning and reception duties, but is just until you get used to. The people around the hostel are very nice, and if you're as lucky as I was, you'll have other amazing volunteers that will help you out and make you laugh when you need it.

My experience at the hostel was absolutely fantastic! The welcoming and friendly atmosphere made me feel right at home. Edwin, his brothers, and Maria were always available and ready to help; they were truly superb! The central location of the hostel made it incredibly convenient to explore the city. I highly, highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional stay in Bogota!

My stay at the hostel was really amazing ! I had planned to stay for a short time in Bogota, and I finally ended up staying for 4 months in this city, just because I loved so much volunteering at the hostel ! Edwin, Alvaro, Huveymar and all the team are caring and super kind, always making sure you have everything you need, they are also super funny and we really had a good time together, for sure you won't get bored ! They also have a lot to teach about hostal and restaurant management, and I learnt a lot from them as they are super patient and pedagogical ! Come and see !!!
