The experience with the hostel and Florêncio was great. The task were easy and the communication with was great, even for a beginner in Spanish. He take time to give us a call the first day and share location to go with us. I highly recommend.

The experience at Hostal Backpackers Oruro was great. Florencio was mostly out during the week, but he always made himself present and called us to make us feel welcome. He also oriented other volunteers to support us during his absence. During the weekends, he would come and help with the shores and share moments - and meals- together. The activities are simple and the hours are respected. Florencio is a superhost - he took us visiting and recommended good places and activities to do.

My experience in Oruro was for only for a week. But that week was very enjoyable. Florencio was very communicative and helpful, as well as very kind. He called to make sure we settled ok and we had lunch together which he bought something's for us to use. The work was very simple and straightforward. All you have to do is clean the bathrooms and common areas as well as rooms when guests check out. Overall we had a good time and would definitely recommend again.

The host wasn't there when we arrived but his sister opened the door for us...we came really late so we were grateful that they welcomed us even late at night. We got a whole room to ourselves which after weeks of moving felt like home. The task we had was to paint one mural. Since I am really into painting I painted 3 and some furniture which was warmly welcome by the host. There was no food provided by the host except for rice, pasta, oats and oil but Florencio came visit on the weekend and made a big luch for all of us on Saturday:)
