My first experience as a volunteer at the hostel couldn't be better! Mati and Esteban are very kind and helpful people They really make this place feel like home for everyone. I felt very safe as a solo women traveler. Also the location of the hostel is perfect (close to the beaches, the shops, bus stations,…). The work here is very chill we clean every day all together and I did shift of reception but the owners are always around to help. If you look for a place to da volunteering in Chile you should definitely come to the hostel! Gracias Mati and Esteban para todo Nos vemos :)

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it could not have been better! Mati & Esteban welcomed me like family from the start. The work and schedule was great and there was a lot to do in the area during my free time. I had so much fun during my time at the hostel. I made many friends and memories I’ll never forget!

My first volunteer experience with Worldpackers was incredibly positive! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and quickly felt at home. The atmosphere at the hostel is fantastic, thanks especially to Este and Mati, who are lovely, always helpful, and very attentive. 🔆 The tasks include one hour of daily cleaning, several reception shifts, and one night shift, all in a friendly and supportive environment. Also, Viña del Mar is charming and chill. I highly recommend this experience!

I had the best time at the hostel! The work is easy (1-2hrs cleaning everyday and some shifts at the reception) and the hostel is really nice and also well located. There's a lot to do in and around Vina so you won't get bored. Mati and Este are chill, kind and loving people which was one of the reasons a had a great time as a volunteer there. You also meet a lot of international travellers and its a great place to make new friends. Thank u!!

I had a great time at Jaguar Hostel :) Malena (the other volunteer), Esteban and Mathi really made the hostel feel like my home for the month staying here!
The work in the hostel is easy and well explained, and Esteban and Mathi are always available to help. Viña is a great place to stay and relax - the area always felt super safe and well taken care of.
