The hostel was an amazing base for traveling around the Yucatán. The work was fun and the coworkers so sweet! It's a chill vibe but also plenty of social events if you want to go out! Wish I could have stayed longer <3

Overall I really enjoyed my time at the hostel and I would've extended if I could've. All the staff and volunteers were so kind and welcoming. Felipe the host was really fun and flexible with work, as we would have different shifts every time to keep things new and exciting! Thank you to everyone for making this such a wonderful experience.

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel. The staff, management and volunteers were all awesome. The hostel itself is beautiful and spacious. The work is very fair and enjoyable, and you'll likely learn some new skills along the way! Muchas gracias por todo!

Volunteering the hostel was incredible, where I had the chance to meet amazing people, including locals, and immerse to the local culture, which it's what I love doing the most when travelling around the world. In addition, the team made me feel welcomed since the very beginning and the duties are like the ones described in the application, the hours are respected and there is also flexibility in schedules. Before coming here, I didn't know much about the city of Mérida, now, I feel like I would like to live here for a longer time, I loved it so much in here!
