We are a hostel located in the middle of Ecuador, which makes Baños a meeting point for travelers from around the world. The town has many activities and places to offer, like trekking, canyoning, zip-lining, hot springs and more, as well as a chill and safe vibe that makes everyone feel like home. The concept of the hostel is to create an atmosphere to make everyone feel like home away from home, creating spaces to meet new people. Come help us!

I volunteered at Papachos for 2 weeks and a half and I loved it! The tasks were very easy and the hostel was chill. There is a lot of flexibility and you are allowed to be in different parts of the hostel, sleep, watch movies, etc. during your shifts as long as you are still completing your tasks. Roberto was communicative and expectations were always clear. The place was clean and organized. Upon arrival, Roberto provides you with rice, beans, pasta, oatmeal, and a lot of eggs to cook when you want, but breakfast is not made for you. Gracias Roberto, me encanto esta experiencia!

While the location and guests were great, I did not feel authorized to do even the most basic tasks requirements of a receptionist. The hostel is run entirely through Whatsapp with the owner/manager Roberto (who lives in a different city) and volunteers. Because of the outdated systems in place, there is constant back and forth to do even the simplest administrative tasks. You cannot even make or view reservations on your own. Any issues that arose from guests and volunteers seemed to be dismissed with a laissez-faire attitude. Unfortunately, I did not find this a professional environment.

Papachos is a cool place to volunteer in the beautiful Baños de Agua Santa. The tasks are easy, Roberto is flexible, and the other volunteers were fun. I enjoy exploring the area in my free time – there are awesome hikes and other cool adventures with the Papachos team. Thank you for the chance.
