Luis and the rest of the team immediately made me feel very welcome! They speak both English and Spanish which makes it a great place to practice. The schedule was communicated clearly when I arrived, the training shift by Mathi was also very clear, and everyone was always available for any question. The tasks were really simple, everything felt very organised, the hostel was very clean, and the people there were always really helpful and kind. Would definitely recommend! :)

I volunteered at this hostel and I had a really good experience. Luis and Roger are the best hosts! ☺️ They are very friendly, helpful and flexible with everything. Andres and Matti are also really cool people, I got along with them very well. They are just very good people and they always made me laugh 😂 The whole place felt like a family, really nice and comfortable atmosphere. I had a really pleasant stay there and I totally recommend it! 🙌🏽🥰

I would say with confidence that this experience was one of the greatest experiences I had on the platform. I have been well looked after by the team (Especially Luis) upon my arrival, by explaining the tasks, showing me around the hostel and what was expected from me. The tasks were very easy to manage and you would have the rest of the day to yourself to explore around. Luis was super flexible with my hours and in two occasions he agreed to change my hours so I could enjoy my tours. If you are in Cusco and want to have a chill, fun experience the the hostel is the place to go.

This was my 3rd volunteer experience since travelling Latin America and it was the absolute BEST! Luis and the team were very welcoming, tasks were clearly stated and they helped with whatever I needed. The hostel is clean and quiet and I love that. I’ll definitely be going back because I now feel like it’s my home away from home. I enjoyed my stay there and I know you will too.

Volunteering at Bearpacker was a nice experience. Luis and the reception team are very friendly and flexible with hours and willing to answer questions whenever. The hostel is comfortable however not very social at all. If you are looking for a chill, relaxing, easy-going volunteering experience, this is the one for you. The shifts are very straightforward and easy :) Thank you Luis and co.
