I really enjoyed volunteering at the hostel because first of all it's a beautiful place by the river with friendly staff and tasty breakfast. I appreciated the creative freedom they give you to manage their Instagram profile so you can create content about your experience in the hostel and Rurrenabaque. definitely recommend this project!

Overall I had a great experience! I got sick for 2 out of the 8 days of me staying there and they were very understanding of my situation. Everyone was super welcoming and nice and the hostel itself was very comfortable. The only downside was that the volunteer room didn't have a good working fan so in the early morning it would get really hot in the room. Besides that I don't really have any other complaints.

I had a great time at the hostel! I worked the bar from 3 pm to 8 pm, five days a week, and I was able to be flexible with my days off. The town has great food and very friendly locals, and it's a nice escape from the city. The only downside was that the dorm was a little dirty and needed some maintenance, but it wasn't unbearable. Also, there weren't many of the volunteer perks that were mentioned (like tour, restaurant, or pub discounts). Breakfast was two eggs and bread that you cooked yourself. Overall, I would recommend this experience! Juan is the best!

Overall, my volunteer experience has been very positive. Working five hours a day felt quite manageable and rewarding. The main challenge was the language barrier, as I don't speak Spanish, which sometimes made communication difficult. However, despite this, I found the work itself to be fulfilling and the environment welcoming. I truly appreciate this opportunity and would recommend it to others. It was a great chance to contribute and learn, even with the occasional hiccup in understanding.

My host was very friendly, open and accommodating right from the start. She was always ready to answer any questions I had. I was taught how to bartend by another volunteer, but whenever I got stuck, had a problem or made a mistake, she was always there to help me. All in all, it was a very good experience that I can only recommend to others

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. The working hours were agreed fairly and adhered to. On my days off, I was able to take part in jungle/pampas tours. Even though there isn't a lot to do in Rurrenabaque, you can pass the time really well in the hostel itself, for example in the pool or on the roof terrace, reading or doing sport. I was allowed to work 25 hours a week at reception, which was a challenge for me at first, as I had never done this before, but in the end I really enjoyed it. My boss Gueyli, always helped me with questions and was also super nice. Thanks Gueyli 🫶🏼

Volunteering at this hostel was a truly great experience! The work was well-balanced, not too much, but never boring. The atmosphere was super chill and welcoming, and the team was absolutely amazing – especially the managers, who were kind, supportive, and genuinely lovely people. I really enjoyed being part of this place. If you're looking to have a beautiful time close to the jungle, I definitely recommend this spot!

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!
