Amazing hostel, the staff and the team were really welcoming, I felt like home on my first day. One of the best experience in my life, I definitely recommend it. Good opportunity to meet other travel and to connect with people all around the world, while sharing your passion (ex. yoga, fitness).

It was the best volunteering I've ever had! The people became my second family!! Everyone was so welcoming and loved to socialize. I would really recommend it. It probably would be good to speak basic Spanish before, but even without it was an amazing experience!! Thank you

Had a great experience traveling to this hostel and spending time in a really popular hostel in the area! Loved my position here, loved some of my co volunteers although communication was a bit off with my scheduled hours and position here, and how the hostel works as a team, I still would recommend this hostel to anyone I meet!

Working at the hostel was a dream. The location is beautiful, rooms are very nice and clean. Everyone I worked with and interacted with was just amazing and truly welcomed me. I almost never wanted to leave! I'm so thankful for the experience that the hostel gave to me. I'll never forget the people I met or the memories I made.
