This was my first volunteering and I had an amazing experience at the hostel, the staff is very kind and they are always willing to help, they have such a nice spirit. The activities to be done are quite simple and fun since you get the chance to interact with people from all over the world. The place is just a few steps from provenza which makes it a good place to enjoy some party time every now and then. I met great people among volunteers, I totally recommend this place. Thanks Paul for giving me the chance to experience my first volunteering I would always come back to this wonderful place.

I originally planned to stay for just one month, but I ended up staying for six - and I think that says everything about how much I loved this place🫶🏼 the hostel became a home for me during my time in Medellìn. I met amazing people, made so many beautiful memories and felt part of the team. Thank you to everyone for these six months, I'm leaving with so many amazing memories. Definetely recommend❤️

Volunteering at the hostel was an awesome experience. The team members and owner are great about being coordinated and on the same page. The hostel is located right on Provenza which allows for easy access to restaraunts/groceries/nightlife. It is a great chance to practice your Spanish with the hostel volunteers and the locals. I would recommend this hostel to anyone looking to come to Medellin!
