The Experience

We're looking for young, fun, super-friendly people to have a great time with our guests! You'll be taking them out nights out, salsa lessons, and other activities in town. You'll also be a bar master and you'll be helping guests sort out their stay and shuttle/tour needs at our front desk. We ask that you take photos of activities for social media and you'll enjoy a room with fellow volunteers. No experience is needed, it's all about attitude!

This is easily one of the best hostel volunteering jobs in Guatemala (and maybe Latin America?). It's the perfect blend of social and chill, and there's enough free time to do all the other things you'd like to do in Guatemala while you're there. Andrea is a great manager and does her best to accommodate everyone's time-off requests, and the volunteer tasks are varied enough that volunteering here stays fresh. The hostel itself feels like a little home and the TV is HUGE. DEFINITELY CHOOSE the hostel!

The hostel has been my favorite volunteer experience so far. The hostel has everything a traveler is looking for; equipped kitchen, social environment, chill spaces, comfortable living space. The job is a little bit of everything; reception, bar, activities in town. Staff is amazing, will definitely miss it here!

The hostel was a lovely place to work for a month. The team of staff was like a family and were all very supportive and caring. The permanent staff especially are all super lovely, and always willing to offer advice or information about Antigua and Guatemala in general. The general vibe of the hostel is really friendly & chill and the facilities are modern & updated. Andrea is very flexible and understanding and all the shifts are straight-forward. Would highly recommend!

The hostel was a wonderful place to volunteer! The hostel itself is a very warm welcoming place with lots of great common areas to relax in. It's also a great base if you want to go out for the night or generally explore! The work is very fair and Andrea is very accommodating. The activities that the volunteers lead are also super fun! Although no food is provided the kitchen facilities are great so it's super convenient to make your own food for a cheap price. Overall had a great time volunteering at the hostel!

The hostel is one of the nicest hostels i've been at. It's super clean and their kitchen with a rooftop view is a cherry on top. I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel, the hostel activities were a lot of fun and also helped me explore the town and learn a few things which I would've probably missed otherwise. There's a perfect mix between the bar, activities and reception duties. They do their best in fulfilling the schedule request and help make your stay at the hostel as comfortable and safe as possible. I love my the hostel Family and would definitely go there again when i'm in Antigua
