It was truly enriching, offering a fantastic blend of impactful work and a supportive environment. Located near Palomino's main attractions and beautiful beaches, this opportunity provided a nurturing atmosphere that encouraged personal growth and community engagement. The work environment was exceptional and the flexibility in scheduling allowed me to balance volunteering with exploring Palomino's attractions conveniently. Overall, my volunteering experience in Palomino was incredibly rewarding, leaving me with valuable skills and cherished memories of making a difference and enjoying it.

The experience was really good. The people who collaborate there are very friendly, always willing to help with whatever you need. In my case, I was welcomed with a lot of warmth and care. Although I enjoyed the experience and was happy to help wherever needed, I initially applied for social work expecting to work with the community. Once I arrived, I was informed that this wouldn't be possible due to internal reasons, which were later explained to me, and I understood. Nonetheless, the overall experience was wonderful. I'm very grateful and highly recommend it!

I had an okay time at the hostel. The room is clean and nice. I was the only volunteer and it's not the best place If you want to make friends with other backpackers as there is not a lot coming in. The hours were fine, breakfast was impeccable and so is the morning shift. Kitchen lady was a little rude but that got taken care of very well by the host. I didn't finish my stay because of the reception work, we worked two in the reception when there was no need for it. Also I applied for social work but didn't do any kind of social work.

The hostel is an Amazing place! A paradise in Palomino. They welcomed me and the staff was all so nice to me. That was wonderful. Because all that I left early, this because I was expecting a Hostel with multiply backpackers rooms/dorm. But there is only one, the rest are all private rooms. Maybe I should have done better research before. But the days I was there were beautiful. the hostel is a small hostel, can be quite and not much work to do but is also relaxed. Thank you the hostel for the experience.
