My three weeks volunteer was great. Bert welcomed me with open arms upon my arrival. The cleaning tasks were simple, and you interact with travelers supporting and guiding them throughout their stay– feeling of a family hostel. Make sure to ask for your days off. Be open-minded and flexible, especially as a woman, don't forget to stand your ground and speak your truth. Although dinner is not provided per say, Bert does purchase vegetables for you to cook your meal in a very functional shared kitchen. The town, garden & hostel bring you a level of peace - A magical place nestled in Bolivia!

We had an great time volunteering at the hostel. It's a beautiful place to spend time. Tasks are straight forward, mainly cleaning, checking-in guests and helping with guest queries. Be sure to agree days off in advance as there are some many great hikes in the local area. Bert was flexible and accommodating!

Bert and Maria Renè welcome you from the first day as if you were part of the family, they are very attentive to your needs, the tasks are simple, prepare breakfast, do the reception and other small things like watering the flowers etc., Samaipata is a small reality in which you feel immediately at home, great starting point for various trecking in the Amboró park, super recommended experience !

Howsome place with an outstanding vew on samaipata ! Berth and his wife are really nice people, the volonteer room is a bit short but enough, berth provides vegetables, pasta and rize so all the necessary to share food between volunteers. I spent 3 weeks of fun and chill, for my last voluntering, i really chosed the right spot !

Volunteering here was a great experience! The tasks were straightforward, either doing the breakfast or some small tasks like watering the plants and doing laundry in the afternoon. The garden is idyllic and perfect for relaxing. Bert was flexible and helpful:) thanks a lot for my stay!

Beautiful hostel and garden. However, volunteer "room" is just a storage room without windows, air and ventilation, making it quite unbearable. I enjoyed making breakfast with Maria-Rene (who is very lovely), however the rest of the duties were very unclear and communication with Bert proved challenging. There was also no agreement on days off; if you don't tell Bert you want a day off, he will assign tasks for you every single day, even though you are staying there for 3 weeks. Beautiful place, that needs quite a bit of improvement for it to be a better experience for any future volunteers

We can't recommend Aniek totally to be honest, she's young and focused (a bit too much) on herself and didn't always complete her tasks. She is spontaneous and likes to laugh, but can act a bit more responsible.

I had a great time at the hostel! Bert and his wife Maria are very lovely. The hostel is very nice with a homey feel in a beautiful area. The main task is preparing the breakfast, were you take turns with one other volunteer. Other then that the tasks are just helping around the hostel a bit, answering questions from guest and helping with check ins. In exchange you get free accommodation, breakfast and a shelf full of food to make some lunch and dinner. If you want to relax at a beautiful hostel, enjoy the town and go on hikes around Samaipata I would definitely recommend the hostel.

The Hostal the hostel is a place, which is built up whith heart and soul of Bert. The garden is rich in plants and the building is decorated with many pictures, is comfy and welcoming. The main tasks as a Volonteer are helping to prepare the breakfast in the morning, to check in new guests and help them, if they have questions. A regular schedule of shifts don't exist, so it is important to communicate with Bert. He is an open person, which communicates in a good way and always find a solution. His wife Maria-René practiced spanish with me, and their kids are very polite and friendly.
