This experience was one of the best volunteering in my life! I was lucky to volunteer during the Day of the Dead, which was an absolute blast. I'm so grateful to Fabi and Jaime for this opportunity. You guys are not just bosses and friends, they became like family. The hostel is beautiful and you'll never get bored in Oaxaca, so many things to do and explore. They also give you an opportunity to earn some money by promoting tours and they are open for suggestions/collaborations. Oaxaca & the hostel are def like my second home.

The hostel is truly a home away from home. Every thing about the staff, the owners, the guests, and the overall community is truly amazing. The owners and staff members have done such a PHENOMENAL job of making this space one that feels like a true community. That is no simple task. What they do here is nothing short of magic. From the delicious breakfasts, the fun activities, the intentional celebrations, and simply joking around with the other staff/volunteers/owners it is truly a lovely place to spend your time. I would recommend the hostel as a volunteer or guest any day. <3

I don't know where to start! Fabi and Jaime are amazing people, bosses, and friends! I was so lucky to have volunteered in Oaxaca during the most vibrant time of the year here - el Día de los Muertos and I'm so grateful they gave me this opportunity. The hostel is very clean, friendly and so close to everything. The living conditions for volunteers are amazing - there is a private room for volunteers only & bathroom with a shower. You will also be amazed by the fact that you'll never get bored in Oaxaca city as it's full of events. Thank you guys for everything! You're absolutely the best!🫶🏼

Thank you the hostel for being my first home away from home on this full time traveling journey. I am grateful for the volunteers, Fabi & Jaime, other staffs and daily hugs from Kristel. I learned quite a bit and am getting to experience Oaxaca; what a beauty. There is a certain energy at the hostel... it feels balanced🌻
