I had a wonderful experience at the hostel. I am so grateful for my first opportunity to teach yoga:) It is a relaxed atmosphere with tasks clearly and fairly assigned. The night shifts aren't as bad as I've heard at other hostels and the work is not difficult or too demanding. I felt I had time to experience the city the way I was looking to, which for me was often leaving for yoga classes and wandering the city solo. Even though I was more solo during my stay Oscar and Cas at reception were always kind and welcoming to me as well as the other volunteers and management. Gracias a todos!

I am truly so sad to be leaving the hostel, I made the most amazing memories and friends. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, the vibe was like one big family ~ workers, guests and volunteers all hanging out together. The work was very easy and the schedule was always fair. I loved the location in Centro, so many great museums and activities within walking distance. Thank you again Oscar, Cassandra, Alexis, Alex, Esther, Pau, Liz, Sebastian, Patrick, and Phillip. 💖

I absolutely loved my time at the the hostel. The staff and volunteers were so friendly and lovely, and I felt welcomed and at home even as I was adjusting to my new surroundings. The hours of work were exactly as expected and I befriended so many young travelers staying at the hostel. Everyone was accommodating and inclusive and saying my goodbyes at the end was painful and sad. I highly recommend this experience to any person. ily and imy Fleur, Hamlet, Ashley, Oscar, Eduardo and Cass <33
