I volunteered at the hostel for 3 weeks in February. The tasks were generally easy and manageable. Everyone was very kind and respectful towards each other, and the atmosphere was really positive.

For all intents and purposes, my cohort were guinea pigs — this was one of the first time there were volunteers in the bar, so communication was inconsistent and at some points hostile between the different branches of power at the hostel; this often put volunteers in the middle of preexisting power struggles, and I ended up working way more hours than previously agreed. When the owners of the hostel were present there were no issues, however the owners are often out of the area. It was a beautiful place with wonderful people; I will definitely be coming back now that they've figured it out.

I met some truly incredible people and really connected with them. One of them was Sergio, the volunteer manager, who helped me understand many things through the experiences he has lived. What I would recommend is having better communication regarding the volunteers' tasks and schedules, because sometimes they asked you to stay at the bar even when you had already finished your responsibilities earlier. I honestly think that's the main thing that could be improved. Other than that, everything was great for me.

Loved it! The tasks are so reasonable compared to what they offer. I cooked and had evening activities, which I loved to do! The guests are so nice and it really felt like a little community that started building there between travellers! (many were staying longer). And in a perfect location! And the staff!! Felt like a family <333

The experience in the hostel as a yoga instructor was absolutely amazing, the staff is so friendly and the vibe around is good. The park next to the place (La Plancha) was a must. Definitely I could recommend the hostel!

The hostel is a marvellous place to be a volunteer, the staff is great and friendly. The installations are comfortable, there's no single thing I didn't like about the hostel. Highly recommended.

Yivini has been an exceptional volunteer, bringing both dedication and positivity to everything she does. She was always on time and fully engaged, whether guiding yoga sessions or supporting in the kitchen. Her commitment and warm presence were felt by everyone. We would be thrilled to welcome her back and look forward to the possibility of working together again. Yivini, thank you for all you’ve brought to our community!

Overall out of the several hostels I have volunteered for, this experience has been the best! Between the cheerful staff, free breakfasts, and beautiful accommodations, this is literally one of the best volunteering experiences you could ask for.

The work schedule is always respected. However, Viridiana, who makes the schedule, is very understanding and flexible, so, if possible, she can assign you a specific shift or day off if you ask before the schedule is done. Javier, the owner, is also very nice. Everything is very well thought. The facilities are comfortable and clean; people at the bar are super nice, and activities help guests and volunteers get to know each other!
