Program Details

At Mesón Amelia, a charming hotel located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, we offer a cultural exchange program for travelers who wish to live an authentic experience while collaborating in the hotel's daily activities.

The support we request is like a general helper, participating mainly in tasks related to hotel operations. The activities may include cleaning of rooms and common areas, laundry assistance, basic help in the kitchen, support in service or reception of guests, depending on the day's needs. Our goal is to maintain a clean, orderly, and welcoming space for all our guests.

The collaboration is organized at 32 hours per week, distributed over 5 days, allowing you free time to explore the city, get to know its culture, and enjoy everything San Miguel de Allende has to offer.

We are looking for people with a good attitude, responsibility, commitment, and respect for teamwork. No professional experience in hospitality is required, but a willingness to learn, collaborate, and maintain a positive attitude within a multicultural environment.

This program is designed for those who wish to travel more deeply, live with people from different parts of the world, practice Spanish and experience day-to-day life in a small Mexican hotel.

In exchange for your collaboration, we offer accommodation, staff meals, internet access, use of laundry and kitchen, as well as a healthy and respectful work environment within one of the most beautiful and culturally rich cities in Mexico.


Activities & Shift

During the shift, the volunteer will assist with the daily tasks necessary to keep the hotel clean, orderly, and functioning properly.

The activities are performed for approximately 5 hours per day, from Monday to Friday, and may vary depending on the day's needs.

The main responsibilities include cleaning and maintenance of general areas, such as reception, corridors, terrace, common bathrooms and other shared spaces, ensuring they are always presentable and pleasant for guests.

There will also be support in cleaning and preparing vacated rooms, helping to change sheets, organize the space, and leave the rooms ready for new guests.

When necessary, the volunteer may collaborate with laundry, helping to wash, dry, fold, and organize bedding, towels, and other hotel textiles.

At times, especially during breakfast or special activities, basic kitchen or service support may also be requested, such as assisting with simple food preparation, organizing utensils, or assisting in guest service and guest reception.

The role is primarily a general helper, so tasks may vary depending on the hotel's operational needs. We are looking for people with a good attitude, willingness to collaborate, and respect for teamwork, contributing to maintaining a pleasant environment for both guests and the work team.

This program is designed for those who wish to travel more deeply, live with people from different parts of the world, practice Spanish and experience day-to-day life in a small Mexican hotel.
