I had a very chill volunteering experience here. I'm very thankful I found this place. Maryelis, Natalie, and all the volunteers were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. My tasks were mostly night reception, sweeping, taking out the garbage, emptying trash bins, putting away clean dishes, preparing coffee, and getting the breakfast ingredients ready. The hostel is always clean, and the area feels safe. The MetroplĂșs station is just a few meters away, making it easy to get around. I highly recommend volunteering here.

The hostel was a nice chill place to volunteer. I worked the night shift from 10pm-6am checking people in and out and answering questions on WhatsApp, it's a very small hostel so things don't get too crazy at reception. Belen is a nice calm neighborhood with plenty of options for food and easy access to the metro. Be aware none of the staff speak English and the majority of the visitors will be Colombians so some knowledge of Spanish is highly suggested.

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The place is small and quiet and perfect for any traveler that wants a cosy family atmosphere. The shifts were 8 hours long and mostly from 10pm till 6am which was good as it left you with the opportunity to do activities during the day. Maryelis was a really good boss who was welcoming and explaining everything pretty clear. The rest of the staff was also pretty welcoming and fun to be around. I would recommend and come back to work at the hostel!

Super clean and comfortable hostel, nice and clean kitchen facilities, great team made up of volunteers and staff. The team have been super helpful and the hours for my entire stay were provided on my first day. In a chilled area of Medellin with a lot of Spanish speakers coming through which is great for learning!

Maryelis and the hostel team are such lovely people. I was welcomed from the moment I arrived and had an amazing experience. I was working the night shift and was responsible for checking people in and general admin. The guests were mostly a combination of local and international travellers. Maryelis is one of the Nicest people I have ever met and the rest of the staff and other volunteers were lovely. This was a great experience and I highly recommend this the hostel to anyone looking for a more relaxed hostel vs a party hostel. Great hostel, facilities, team and great location.

For the second time in a little over a year I must express my immense gratitude for the trust placed in me by Maryelis from the hostel for having allowed me to undertake a new volunteering. the hostel welcomed me as my own home. The accommodation provides peace, tranquility and some tasks that are very easy to carry out although not for that reason, they are less important. On both occasions, the team of volunteers I met were super 'cool'. Without a doubt, it is a hostel where the experience goes beyond what one can imagine. The location is wonderful.
