Cuándo llegué Andrés, Alan y Erika me dieron la bienvenida como familia. Thank you for everything, especially your incredible patience with my spanish and tips for what to see and do. Everyone at this hostel is there to help you and have been in your shoes themselves. This stay gave me exactly what I was looking for: to get more in touch with the local life and culture, to improve my Spanish, and to experience the beautiful nature of Colombia. The work was fair and a lot of the time enjoyable. I recommend this stay to any travellers wanting to truly discover Colombia.

I loved my stay at the hostel, the whole team are super welcoming, the tasks are simple and as described. It was a great place to practice Spanish and get to know a less touristic Colombian town. I can't wait to go back!

Estar en el hostel fue una experiencia muy grata, Como voluntario aprendí mucho durante mis actividades, Recomiendo el hostel para explorar la región cafetera al estar ubicado en un punto central como lo es Santa Rosa. Alan, Andrés y Erika me recibieron muy educadamente con una gran energía y te puedes llegar a sentí identificado con ellos por su espíritu mochilero y Nairo de verdad hace tu estadía aún más acogedora si no te molestan los gatos y mencionar que siempre hubo comida y se respetaron las horas acordadas, y un excelente lugar para practicar tu ingles, Gracias equipo por la oportunidad

Recomiendo a todos el voluntariado en el hostel lo primero y más importante la calidad y calidez de personas que son Andrés, Alán y Erika, y después por la increíble naturaleza qué tiene Santa Rosa. En cuanto a los horarios fueron cumplidos me ayudaron muchísimo con tareas de recepción púes mis experiencias anteriores habían sido limpieza y jardinería, así que siempre estuve respaldado. Tenés 3 comidas algo que es diferencial para nosotros los mochileros. No dudes y largate hasta el hostel.

Estar en el hostel fue una experiencia fantástica! Tuve la oportunidad de socializar y conocer a otros viajeros de diferentes partes del mundo, pude mejorar mi inglés, ya que la mayoría de los huéspedes eran extranjeros y el idioma principal del hostal era el inglés. Además me encontré con otros voluntarios muy agradables. El hostal es muy lindo y acogedor, y los dueños lo son aún más, agradezco a Alan y a Erika por recibirme y hacerme parte de este equipo, la pase muy bien!
