The Experience

Nuestro hostal está cerca de Sierra Madre en México, con paisajes increíbles y cerca de la naturaleza. Básicamente buscamos a alguien que disfrute estar en paz en el hotel y que durante su periodo de trabajo nos ayude con detalles de pintura dentro y fuera de los cuartos. Es un trabajo de detalle pero a la vez terapeutico porque al finalizar puedes ver el avance.

The hostel colorés is a chill place to stay but maybe too chill and boring if you don't have a car or any other project on your own. The tasks are exactly like the description, which is really good. So I would recommend it if you are not alone, if you have a project to work on and/or if you have a car.

I stayed at the hostel for one month and I would definitely recommend volunteering here if you are in the area. The town itself is very pretty and it's a good place to connect with the locals and improve your Spanish. The work hours were more than fair and the tasks were not difficult. I had many days off which left me with plenty of time to explore the area. Muchas gracias Armando!

The hostel was a great first time WP experience for me. It's in a great location, surrounded by nature. Santiago is such a charming city where you can really feel how the locals love their town. There were many festivals, parades and street music events happening just a short walk away. My tasks were what I agreed. I saw improvements to the kitchen and co-work space while there.

The location isn't too busy and during the weekdays it really slows down so it gives you the opportunity to explore around.
