La verdad fue una experiencia llena de vida, Olí es una mujer increíble, te hace sentir parte de la familia, Le agradezco que me haya dado la oportunidad de estar colaborando con ella, iba por 30 días y la estancia se extendió 30 días más. Gracias a ella y al hostel conocí gente súper divertida, amorosa llenas de vida. Me llevo una gran lección y una experiencia inolvidable de Viveiro. Las tareas la vdd son súper fácil y te queda mucho tiempo libre para disfrutar de los alrededores. Se los recomiendo 10000/10

El hostel es un hostal muy ameno, tranquilo y con una limpieza impecable; cada huésped que llega trae consigo una historia que compartir. del hostel, destaco su amor y entrega al hostal, siempre dispuesta a ayudar, ordenada, organizada y con un don de gente. Definitivamente es un espacio donde se respira tranquilidad, ganas de trabajar y un ambiente pura vida. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!

Fui con mucha ilusión de colaborar en el proyecto del hostel pero lamentablemente no fue lo que esperaba. no me sentí cómodo desde que llegué. no recibí un buen trato. me esmeraba en hacer las cosas bien pero siempre me marcaban lo malo que había hecho las cosas cómo si fuera un empleado de limpieza cualquiera en vez de un colaborador. Decidí entonces no continuar y dí aviso de buena manera que me iba a ir el día siguiente porque no me sentía comodo pero así sin más me pidieron que me vaya en ese mismo momento. eran las ocho de la noche y no tenía a dónde ir. fue un gesto muy inhumano

Moisés believed there was no work and that he could have a free bed while on vacation. He had already tried to mark his day off without having been there even for a week. Still, I initially agreed. He was not able to fulfill his commitment as a volunteer nor as a responsible person: messy, not hardworking, lacking energy, slow, without initiative, irresponsible with the stay for the well-being of the clients, disorganized, not social at all, he did not clean what he dirtied nor arrange his own things. After several reprimands, for which he didn't even apologize, he decided via WhatsApp (he didn't even have a direct conversation) to leave after six days, with a two-week commitment, leaving us hanging the fortnight with the most clients of the year. Then I asked him to come help on what was his sixth day before leaving and when he told me that it wasn't his day off, I told him to pack his things and leave now. I had already given him an afternoon off to enjoy, but he doesn't know how to express gratitude. In short, a very bad experience that doubled my work, because I could never trust that the clients would be well looked after. I do not recommend this volunteer to anyone.
