My sister and I had an amazing time at the hostel! Everyone was so fun and welcoming, we felt immediately at home. Anu was very flexible, communicative, and kind. Although we didn't have much experience with this type of work, we were able to do what we knew and learned a lot. We felt so lucky to be a part of this wonderful and unique community.

These are some of the kindest, most interesting, fun people I have ever met. I loved staying here so much, and really hope to come back at some point! The owner of the hostel is a great team leader, funny, and all around someone I loved spending time with. I learned a lot through the different tasks I did, and feel more confident to do another experience like this. (This was my first worldpackers). I really connected with all other worldpackers as well. We played games, laughed, watched movies and shows. Everyone was super welcoming. And, I am feeling sad about leaving. Love you the hostel!

We were traveling as a couple and it was our first WorldPackers. We really recommend this place. The location of the hostel is unique and really welcoming. The tasks included were checking guests in/ out, cleaning, responding e-mail or project shifts. Everything is really well explained and you will always have some support. We couldn't ask for a better place. The staff and the managers are the bests and they will make you feel like at home.

We genuinely loved having both you and Anet out with us Guillem. What a lovely couple and honestly, two of our most bright cheerful worldpackers. We wish you safe journeys and bright days ahead!

This is such an amazing hostel environment! The friendships I've formed during my stay here have been amazing and further shaped me of who I am. I would like to thank the mangers of Cholee, Adan, Mari, Sabina, and owner Brenna for providing an environment to allow us to be ourselves. They're always there for us in times of need. I hope to return in the future!
