This place has lots of potential, but unfortunately I didnt fully enjoy my stay. Firstly,I was told the volunteers got commissions on the sold tours but when I arrived and asked about it the host just said 'there are no comissions anymore' with no explanation.There were also no free tours or extra activities.The coffee (apart from breakfast) is also not included.Rooms and kitchen can definitely be cleaner and appliances need some maintenance. Lastly,they only work with volunteers, so there is no actual employee for administration.Host communicates via whatsapp and expects immediate replies.

I had a great experience at the hostel! Palomino is an amazing place to volunteer. I enjoyed the pace of life and It's easy to feel at home here since it's such a small town. I bartended and did reception and both were easy and hours agreed upon were adhered to. I never met the owner in person but Franco was very, very flexible with my schedule when I made requests so that I could da day trip. I reallyyy appreciated that. It would've been better to be trained by someone who can speak English. The reception employee seemed to be on a power trip sometimes but the other volunteers were amazing!

Milena fue una excelente voluntaria, flexible, animada, responsable. Le dio al hostal un excelente vibra. Sin duda la tendríamos nuevamente.

My volunteer in the hostel was amazing. I met extraordinary people, and I connected with Palomino and its vibe. The duties were easy, and clear. Franco and Pao always treated me with respect and make me feel comfortable since first day. I'm going to miss the hostal vibe, and the days I spent there. It was a chapter in my life that I will treasure forever. I'm already missing Pepa, and Billy ( the hostal's dogs). They were such a great company during my shifts. Without a doubt a top experience that I would recommend to everyone.

The hostel is one of the best volunteering I've ever done. I felt really at home and Paola & Marco are lovely and friendly since the first moment. The tasks are not complicated and the breakfasts are amazing!

Estoy totalmente agradecido con la gente del hostel, fue mi hogar por algunas semanas y aunque tuve que cambiar el tiempo de estadía en el lugar, aprendí un montón, las tareas son justas, el lugar es espectacular para descansar, conocí nueva gente que me llevo en el corazón. Gracias por todo, recomiendo totalmente la experiencia en este lugar.
