This was my first time volunteering, I had never done it before.
And to be very honest, it has been incredible, and together with the host of the place we decided to strengthen the bond. I have felt very welcomed, I am very grateful to Diana and to her place and also to my companions; they have been and continue to be a family.
And that's how we all feel.

I am only grateful for this beautiful volunteering experience at the hostel; from the first day I felt at home, Diana is adorable, very kind and flexible, her breakfasts are the best. The tasks to be carried out are very easy, the schedules are met, and the atmosphere with the rest of the volunteers is very close; a family is formed... I already miss them! Without a doubt I would return and I recommend it 100% to live the volunteering experience, and San Cris is a special place that you have to know. Thanks for everything, the hostel I treasure in my 💚

Being in San Cristóbal and having the opportunity to stay in a hostel where you feel at home has been wonderful. Diana is very thoughtful and really cares about the volunteers. 100% recommended

My experience has been unbeatable, I loved being able to spend a month in the hostel, it’s a quiet and familiar place where you feel at home. The tasks are simple and allow you to enjoy plenty of free time to get to know San Cris and the surroundings. Diana is a very good host, she is super friendly and approachable, and she is very flexible with the schedules. I would repeat it without hesitation 🩵
