This exchange wasn't as expected, I had applied for 5 days a week and 4 hour days doing social media and marketing with breakfast included. I was given 250 pesos for the month for food and was expected to do 6 days a week 5 hour days. The managers Abel and mica are lovely people, they work hard, are kind and understanding. However the owner Mariano I cannot say the same is true. I was glad I was mostly dealing with Mica and abel. Overall I had a good experience but I wouldn't return.

We’re sorry that your experience was not to your liking.
I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting you because I was traveling.
I also didn’t have the pleasure of evaluating you, because if I had, I’d have given you a 1 since you did everything badly, in addition to leaving before the volunteer program.
But before all that I want to clarify that you are confused; you applied for maintenance, cleaning, and reception.
30 hours per week, i.e., 5 hours a day for 6 days.
The one who handled social media was your friend Fernanda, who worked 4 hours and only social media.
Something she didn’t do well; just look at Instagram to see that even a 7-year-old kid does it better.
Regarding the 250 pesos for breakfast, you were offered the option of having basic breakfast or the money, and you chose the money.
That is to say your behavior was really terrible.
During your time at reception you let guests leave without paying, and you were stretched out on the sofa with your sneakers on it; I could see it on the cameras.
If you look at my reviews, you’re the only one who wrote badly about me.
I recommend you change your attitude.
I wouldn’t take you back.
To the hosts I would not recommend this girl. Bad attitude and behavior.
By the way, Abel and Mica, your friends in charge who were mentioned, are no longer here because they didn’t do their job well.
Have a good day.

The owners, Mariano and Sol, are incredibly responsive and kind, and they have an amazing energy that makes you smile every day. They are always ready to help with anything you need and are very understanding. The place offers plenty of opportunities to socialize and meet new people. La Paz is truly a destination with incredible beaches, where you can truly experience Mexican culture. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever known; it's definitely worth coming here!

This experience was unique, Sol and Mariano make you feel at home, this hostel is very homey and has a very nice vibe, the tasks are really easy, it's only at the reception and there's very little work, I was able to improve my English, I met people from all over the world, I made really good friendships, I got to know the culture and the city of La Paz, there was rain and a little water got into the room, but as soon as we mentioned it they took care of fixing it, I liked it a lot, I hope to return and I would highly recommend it.

I am very grateful to Mariano and Sol who welcomed me at the hostel and supported me a lot and were empathetic at all times. The hostel allowed me to meet people, practice English and experience the beautiful life that is lived in the Baja. Simply, I have two points that I think could be improved. I think the communication isn't the best and sometimes I felt a little lost since you are trained once and then you learn on the job. The second thing worth clarifying is that for breakfast they give you 100 pesos for the whole week. That said, it's a place where travelers are welcomed and it's much appreciated!

My experience was very rewarding; it was my first time volunteering, and the hosts (Mariano and Sol) were very good people, they are warm, kind and open to dialogue to communicate any situation. I got along very well with the other volunteers, and I could even say that I grew fond of everyone 🥺
The agreed activities were very simple, and you had free time to get to know and visit places. It's a good place to meet people from all over, and to practice your English since many foreign travelers come by.
