I really loved my time at the hostel! My experience was a great one, mainly thanks to Clara and Christian who supported me well and gave me confidence very quickly in the tasks I had to do. I was also able to ask Clara if it was possible to combine my days off at the end in order to take a tour of the pampas and the selva and she said yes without any problem! In any case, I thoroughly recommend the experience!

I had a great time at the hostel. The staff and other volunteers definitely made the experience great and made me feel very welcome. Rurrenabaque is right in nature, small but big enough for you to keep exploring nearby cafes and restaurants. The pros: the fantastic people at the hostel, the pool, the work (it was easy as far as reception goes, and enjoyable! Also a bonus that there was someone nearby to help if I needed it.) The cons: as some people have mentioned the volunteer room could use some maintenance and some thorough cleaning

This was the first volunteering experience for my husband and me during our world trip and we had a great time! Working hours were respected and they were flexible when we asked to work 10 days in a row and have our holidays concentrated at the end so that we could da tour. The team is great (Orejas included) and Clara is just the best! We had a really good connection with her and she helped us in everything we needed ❤️ The only thing to really improve is the volunteers room...not only the cleanliness but also the maintenance.. Anyways, a great experience overall, thank you the hostel!

This was my first experience using worldpackers and it was definitely a good decision. I took charge of the bar and although the season was low so the bar was not crowded I was able to meet very nice people from outside and locals who made me learn more about Rurrenabaque and Bolivia. Michelle and the staff are very welcoming and respect the agreed schedule. If you want to connect more with nature and take a break from the busy city, this is your place. I would definitely recommend!

The hostel is a great place to volunteer, the work schedule is very accommodating to our skills and Clara is very fair with the work load. The hostel is very well maintained and the facilities are very good. I definitely recommend volunteering here! However, the volunteer room could be improved, but this the only improvement needed. Thank you so much to Clara and the staff at the hostel for the great experience and for being a great host
