My favorite experience in Worldpackers so far ! The hostel is located in the historic district of San Juan, very safe, lovely and close to one of the most famous bars of Puerto Rico. The shifts and work involved are very reasonable, leaving you plenty of time to explore the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and the opportunity to meet lots of other travellers! Carlos and Angelica were so lovely to me and understanding, they will do everything to make you feel at ease. It was an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend it! MERCI 🇵🇷🫶🏼

This is experience was hands down the best I've had with WP so far! The location is absolutely perfect, right in old San Juan with so much to do like sightseeing, food, and nightlife! Carlos was very friendly and welcoming. The work was fairly easy with front desk 6hr shifts, 4 days a week, 3 days off. They're usually mornings, 9am-2:30/3:00pm and one of the mornings is housekeeping every Sunday. The hostel is air conditioned, beautiful, and extremely clean, I promise you won't regret choosing the hostel! I can't wait to be back in PR 💞🇵🇷

I had such a great time in the hostel ! First, the location in the heart of Old San Juan is unique, you can find anything walking for five minutes and discover the historical, local and the night life of the place. Then, I had the pleasure to meet Carlos that is always disponible and propose activities to go to the touristic places of the Island. I also really loved to work in the hostel, always meeting new people from all around the world that was nice and interesting. I can't tell how much fun I had doing all that ! It was really amazing ! Thank you so much Carlos for everything.

Volunteering at the hostel was an absolute delight! The fair workload and fantastic location made it a truly enjoyable experience. This hostel is by far the nicest I've ever visited, offering a serene and calming environment. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow travelers. Carlos's warm invitations to volunteers and Angelica's prompt responses to any queries added to the positive experience. Overall, my time at the hostel through Worldpackers was exceptional, and I highly recommend it, especially for first-timers.

I absolutely loved my experience at the hostel. The location of the hostel is perfect and I felt very safe walking around Old San Juan every day. The housekeeping shift and the reception shift are both easy and a fair amount of work. Carlos is very friendly, helpful, and quick to respond any time I had a question! It was my first World Packers experience and I'd recommend staying at the hostel to anyone!!
