Sirce and Manuel are really kind people. In generall it was a good experience, it was at the end of the season, when things were quieter and I often worked independently. She was always open to communication, understanding of my needs, and flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated since I was also traveling during this time. the hostel is a cozy and traditional hostel in the south of Chile, full of local character. I had the chance to take care of the fire, meet international guests, and enjoy a warm, simple atmosphere.

I LOVE THIS HOSTEL! The staff and owner, Sirce, are absolutely incredible. My world packing experience was focused on working on the hostel's social media and update the website. Sirce gave me full flexibility to create my own schedule, which is perfect for this type of work and was super open to learning so that she can continue the work once I left. The vibe is the hostel is really great, they make you feel like family. <3 Puerto Varas is an awesome town to visit and would recommend this place to anyone.

This was my first experience traveling with Worlspackers. I loved the days I spent at the Vermont hostel, the people working at the hostel are very nice and caring, Sirce is a fantastic person! About the city of Puerto Varas, it is small so in a few days it is possible to know all the cool points that travelers are looking for, I believe that one week is enough.

They greeted me quite well from the beginning, I felt at home. They were flexible with the schedules and with the check-in and check-out dates, I had enough time to get to know the city better and mingle with more people who were volunteering and with those who stayed there as well, I totally recommend it.

Since I arrived at the Sirce hostel, I was treated super well, it is very flexible with the selection of work shifts and great vibes. The city of Puerto Varas surprised me; it is very picturesque and everything is very close, and the surrounding area is also totally worth exploring. This was my first experience as a volunteer at WorldPackers, and honestly it exceeded all my expectations. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to do volunteer work while traveling.

The hostel has a very pleasant atmosphere, where it's easy to share and connect with travelers from different places. Additionally, I met incredible volunteers, which made everything even more special. I highly recommend it:)

My experience at the hostel in Puerto Varas was my first volunteering experience and it was wonderful. From the first day I felt very welcomed and comfortable with the team. With Sirce I got along excellently; there was always good communication, trust and good vibes. I opened up a lot with English by sharing with travelers from different countries, which gave me more security and confidence when speaking. I met a lot of cool people and I carry friendships that I know will endure over time. It was an experience that helped me grow personally and culturally. Without a doubt I would return again and I totally recommend it.

La Guapa Hostel was my first volunteering experience! It was an incredible experience. Sirce, the owner, is aware of everything and always available, whether in person or by phone. I made incredible friends who made the experience even better.
There are three shifts, and Sirce tells you the day before which one you'll have. The volunteering varies by shift: cleaning bathrooms, making beds, cleaning the kitchen, working at the reception, or ironing sheets. The volunteers sleep on the lower floor; the room is small, but the common areas are very nice and perfect for spending time.
