I spent one month at the hostel, and it was one of the best experiences I've had. The hostel is fantastic, conveniently located near the Andador (the main street in San Cristóbal), and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have volunteered here. The tasks were simple, and the working hours were always respected. A big thank you to my volunteer group, Mari, Mariam, and AK. I'm sure we'll cross paths again around the world! 🫶 PS. I know you've probably heard that Chiapas is dangerous, but the tourist areas are really safe 🤙

The hostel has a place in my heart now. The volunteering was such an amazing experience. The environment of the hostel is so peaceful and fun, the work is fair, the hosts (AK and Elena) are people with good hearts, always willing to help. I felt at home when I was there, and for sure I'll be back one day. This was my first worldpackers experience and I highly recommend. Thank you for everything the hostel <3

This is one of the best hostels I've stayed at, the work is easy and the hours are very reasonable. AK is a perfect host, he is clear and direct with communication and a pleasure to be around. The city of San Cristóbal itself is also amazing, incredible food as well as great music. I highly recommend volunteering here, thank you AK for facilitating so many unforgettable memories during my stay✌️
