The Experience

Helping the owners with cleaning tasks, opening the door late at night even though there is a check-in schedule for guests isn't that hard, in addition to cleaning the bathrooms, the hallway, the courtyard, and helping with breakfast. The other tasks will be explained at the hostel. It is extremely peaceful :D

It was honestly very boring and lonely. I was alone every day and I could not take any days off, because there were new guests daily and I was the only one available for them. The hostel was not well-maintained. Several guests complained directly to me about the broken faucets, broken washing machine, breakfast falsely included in the advertisement or broken kitchenware. Although cleaning the area was part of my tasks, it was almost not worth it beyond a point. The dorm beds were broken and dirty and every night, there was loud music from a nearby bar. The host was friendly and easygoing.

We’re very sorry about your comment; the truth is we got tired of explaining the tasks to you and you didn’t contribute any help to the house. However, out of respect we allowed your stay; the idea of having a volunteer is that they voluntarily support us with the basic tasks, basically all day sleeping.

La experiencia fue buena, solo que falta mejorar algunos aspectos como la organización del personal y las tareas de cada uno.

Como voluntaria te acercas a lugares que pueden ser un Beneficio de ayuda para ambas partes,sin embargo me decepciono saber que este anfitrión jamás en ningún momento cumplió con las normas me dejó botada por lo que me tuve que ir de inmediato de su lugar jamás me respondió los mensaje a mi número y hasta me bloqueó es estresante saber que no existe empatía ya que estamos como voluntarios en un lugar que no conocemos afortunadamente hubo personas tan lindas que me ayudaron a encontrar un alojamiento y sobre todo no quedarme a la deriva, no recom. este lugar, y bueno si tienen duda hay pruebas
