I had an amazing experience volunteering at the hostel! This place feels like home, I was warmly welcomed by the host and the other volunteers. I felt so comfortable! The work (cleaning and reception) was easily managable (with enough free time) and I learned a lot, especially in the reception. The host was always there for the volunteers, if we had questions or needed help. He would always have our back. I highly recommend to volunteer at this hostel, if you are looking for a calm and cozy place to stay and if you take the work that you do seriously! I had an amazing time!

Worked with Gonzalo and Yohaan, Damian and Paula. They also contributed with making my experience even better. The owner Ikary was always around and ready to help. My work was alternating reception and housekeeping. There were two women that work here as housekeeping, so we were in charge of only one floor. As this is not a party hostel, the guests who stayed here were very interesting; had a bunch of nice experiences while traveling and the atmosphere was always friendly and engaging. Sometimes after closing reception we organized plans with the guests. Lovely experience. Thank u!

This was my 3rd experience as volunteer and so far was the best one. The owner and others volunteers were incredibly welcoming. The work was varied, including tasks like reception and cleaning, with a good balance between work and free time. At the end I was not just doing my job but also organising tours with the guests. The hostel is great, really clean and comfy. Then I became really friend of the owner and always that I can I will go back to work again there. Overall, it was an enriching and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!!

It should be renamed the hostel home, Ikary takes great care of the hostel and is super kind to the volunteers who are treated like his own children. I loved staying here and meeting guests from all around the world. Great environment very relaxing work and Ikary is very sweet even when we mess up something, he tells us and teaches us 😊

Sin duda una muy buena experiencia, Ikari tiene una forma muy única para hacer del hostal un segundo hogar con convivencia internacional!! Se cuenta con la oportunidad de conocer a muchos viajeros y poder compartir gratas vivencias y hacer amigos! El hostal es muy seguro y con una atmósfera muy agradable, recomiendo ampliamente vivir la experiencia!
