I had a really nice time in Santiago Guesthouse. The work was easy and done in 1-3 hours, depending on how many people stay. The staff was really friendly, just like the other volunteers and the guests who I met in the common area. I'm glad I spent my time there and met all those great people.

Santiago Guesthouse felt like a second home for us, the staff is very welcoming and quickly became our friends. The common space is very spacious and cozy which enables chill nights and great moments of sharing, whether it is with other volunteers or guests. The work is not too hard as you don't have deep cleaning tasks (most of the time), leaving you plenty of time to explore Hiroshima, which offers a lot (the guesthouse is really well located in the city center). We are glad to have lived this experience with Santiago guesthouse and would heavily recommend it ;)

I came to Hiroshima after a long and rather hard working day in Hokkaido and was pleasantly surprised. Even the arrangements for my arrival were very pleasant, and when I arrived I realised that the guesthouse had an extremely relaxed atmosphere and I'm glad I chose this guesthouse. There were joint activities and the whole life was a bit like a very large shared flat. The work is quite relaxed, especially when there are a lot of volunteers, and at least when I was there the work could always be done quickly.

Santiago's Guesthouse the hostel was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't have asked for a better one! The atmosphere is great, the hostel is super central and the work is usually extremely fair, which means you have plenty of time to explore the city. The staff and the other volunteers were super friendly and welcoming, I felt right at home. The common area makes it very easy to make new friends, and I often had hour long conversations there. I am so grateful for my time there and the people that I've met, I really feel like a made connections that will last a long time.

My time at Santiago the hostel was my first volunteer experience. I really enjoyed my one-month stay at the hostel. The work was easy (just one or two hours a day). I met lots of great people and made wonderful friends. In the end, I extended my stay by a few days because I liked it so much. I can only recommend volunteering there to anyone! I will never forget my time at the Santiago Guesthouse and would go there again at any time!
