The Experience
As our guests have been saying during the years since our start 1999… “Homey and cozy, you feel an open and friendly atmosphere when you walk in through the door -” The house has a lot of character, old and steady built in the 1930 by a German architect . We want travelers committed to the tasks of the hostel, also seek to offer economic compensation based on experience and hours worked

I had a very intense experience living and volunteering at the hostel. The house is beautiful, old and comfortable. Every corner tells a story. I was able to connect even more with nature, despite being in a very touristy city, especially in the summer, it was possible to feel at peace. I was able to establish a routine that allowed me to work on my projects, in addition to carrying out volunteer tasks with presence. I had the opportunity to meet people, who helped me get to know myself better and I felt inspired to create new stories. I'll take with me beautiful memories. Many tks!!

I loved working at this hostel, Malin and Mauro are wonderful people and very generous! Made some great friends with the fellow volunteers and really enjoyed the family feeling at the hostel. The work is exactly as described: cleaning and reception work, and the hours are very well respected. The location is great and there is lots of beautiful places to visit around. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone !

Mi estadia en the hostel supero toda expectativa, desde el momento que llegue me sentí en casa. La calidad humana del equipo es extraordinaria e innegable; Malin, Mauro y Nelly son personas super acogedoras, pacientes y preocupadas por sus voluntarios, intentando siempre que nos sintamos lo mas cómodos posibles. Muchisimas gracias, me llevo un monton de aprendizajes. Recomiendo al 100% este voluntariado! :)
