I loved my time at Almanik, everyone was so friendly from the people staying to the other volunteers and staff/owner. Work was relaxed, location is great, days were calm yet fun. I would definitely recommend ❤️

Perfect place to befriend locals and other people from Suramérica, therefore perfect to learn/practice Spanish : I didn't speak it at my arrival and I can easily talk to anybody about various subjects now. The team is great and easy, likes to show around the culture and Medellin. The job at the reception is easy but with some responsibilities too, and let you time to visit the city. I spent a month there but could have stayed once more easily.

Great location, friendly team, hostel is small sweet and clean! In a great location close to the metro, cafes, gyms and malls! We had movie nights and dinners out, salsa classes. It was great experiance in Medellin, work was easy and quick a few hours of cleaning in the morning then had the whole day and night to myself

My experiences at the hostel and Area 51 Hostel were amazing. The work is very easy, as you aren't typically dealing with check-ins during the night shift. For the most part, I spent most of my shifts hanging out with guests or watching Netflix. The location is amazing, as it is super close to the metro and LA 70, one of the biggest party areas in the city. Andres and Paula were very flexible hosts and helpful. I would definitely recommend volunteering here to anyone planning on coming to Medellin.
