The Experience

Help us to take care of our guests, since some of them leave early morning. Some help is also needed on other tasks: cleaning the kitchen, organise the laundry and keep the main door closed at all times. Guests some times need help at night: they check-out early morning, need towels, toilet paper, extra blankets, etc. The main task is to help them to be more comfortable. Note: Your help will also be needed any other day for 3 hours only.

Staff were lovely and we got on with them well. Tasks were varied as were shift times, meaning you got to try different aspects of running a hostel and got to work with different people each time. I would recommend knowing some Spanish to communicate with cleaning/kitchen staff, however you can definitely get by (as we did) and maybe even learn some along the way :)

We had an amazing time at the hostel. We felt really comfortable, especially because of the very welcoming staff and the other great volunteers. It's a really cool hostel where it's easy to socialize and San Cristóbal is a beautiful city worth staying a while. We would recommend everyone who thinks about volunteering at a hostel, to stay here. :)

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel, the hostel is beautiful, social, and full of activities and the city has amazing vibes! The tasks and hours are fair and the staff is nice and helpful, althought I would have preferred a warmer welcome - the host never introduced himself to me and the staff seemed a bit distant at first - and in general I felt a vibe of separate levels between staff / volunteers / guests, probably cause the hostel is very big. Anyway I had a lot of fun and extened my stay for an extra week!
