Best volunteer experience I ever had so far! The food is pretty good and diverse! Portions are ok, and they have good discounts for volunteers, like pasta for 4 dollars! Communication could improve, but not a big deal tbh, leaving that on a side, I feel it was awesome. I was lucky I was with other volunteers and we all got along really well! I feel this volunteer experience set the bar pretty high! Would definitely recommend it!

My experience in the hostel was incredible. I improved a lot my Spanish because a lot of the gusts are from Colombia and they are super nice . I thought it was a big party hostel but it is only in the weekends so in the end it was chiller than I thought but it was nice. 100% recommended

I loved my stay at the hostel in the hostel. The work at the bar was so much fun, my colleagues were super nice and taught me how to make some very nice cocktails. The accommodation is really beautiful, super modern and I felt really good there. I thought that this hostel was really a big party hostel but to be honest it's pretty chill, which is also nice in a way. I met really nice people and I would recommend it to everyone that wants to be in the nature but also be in a comfortable and chill hostel.

I had so much fun here and met so many amazing people! Working in the restaurant was super fun and helped me practice my Spanish a lot. The accommodation was okay, and the volunteer bathrooms were pretty gross.
