The hostel is by far the best hostel I've stayed at. You can see and feel that Jose invests a lot of effort into making sure that everyone's experience here is amazing. My time volunteering was amazing and shifts were easy and straightforward, leaving you with a lot of time for yourself to explore the beautiful city of Cali. There are daily tours and events offered through the hostel as well that you can always join. Thank you for everything!!

The hostel feels like home! Jose and Martina are super helpful, flexible and welcoming. The task and hours are clear from the beginning and the staff and volunteer were the kindest. I highly recommend this experience with them! It would be a fun month in Cali

Volunteering at the hostel has been amazing! Jose and Martina run the place impressively well and theyre super kind as well as Elline and Annita . Having the company of the other volunteers is great as well. You couldn't ask for a better balance of responsibilities and privileges. The culture here in cali and especially the hostel is all about salsa. If you want to learn, this is the place!!

My first and without a doubt the best volunteering I will ever done ! The hostel is beautiful & the atmosphere is so warm that I felt like I was living with my family. The hosts care about our well-being. Everything is done to make is easy to meet and socialize with travelers. The city of Cali is full of activities & lives to the rhythm of the salsa. Working in the cafe was absolutely fabulous with Martina teaching me how to serve delicious coffee to the lovely travelers. Everything was very clear and the working hours allowed me to have free time. A big thank you I will never forget it !
