I had an amazing experience. My first time volunteering. Everyone was very helpful even on my day off the staff recommend places I should go food I should try and they also helped me improve my spanish(motivatedme to speak more Spanish and stop being shy). The schedule agreed upon was respected. It's an amazing and health work environment. You also get to meet alot international travellers and make friends. Accommodations was very comfy. I am gonna miss them sooo much.

The hostel was the perfect first volunteer experience! I initially planned to stay for two weeks but ended up staying for a month because I enjoyed it so much. Erick and Manuel were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and Manuel's Spanish classes helped me improve my language skills. The work at the bar was fun, the hours were fair, and I always had plenty of time to explore Arequipa. The hostel itself is spacious, with stunning mountain views and a great atmosphere for connecting with guests and other volunteers. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

This was my second volunteering experience and I had a good time! The people that work at the hostel are incredibly friendly and fun. I was working behind the bar which I enjoyed. Unfortunately I had to wait a fair few days till I could sleep in the volunteering dorm, but the beds and rooms are quite comfortable so it wasn't a huge issue. Overall a good experience.

Great chill and comfy hostel in Centro Historico in Arequipa! The owners Erick and Manuel made me feel very comfortable and welcome from day 1, The tasks are very easy to do and the hostel permits plenty of time to get to know the city, enjoy the local tours and make friends with other travelers. Carla and Victor at the front desk were also great!!!
