We stayed at the hostel as volunteers and left feeling like we were leaving a home, not a hostel. Paul and Dom Claudio make all the difference. They are genuinely attentive, reliable, and truly care about the people working with them. Always present, always flexible, always trying to make the place better for everyone who passes through. The atmosphere is welcoming from day one. The facilities are comfortable and well kept, and there is real care put into the environment that builds between the people staying there. Thank you for everything!

The hostel provides a cozy and welcoming base from which to explore puerto natales. The family and staff are kind and have lots of local advice. The work is pretty straightforward and generally gives you the opportunity to interact with guests.

My experience as a volunteer at Hostel the hostel was simply incredible. From the first day they made me feel part of a family, always accompanied and supported by every member of the team. It was my first volunteering experience and really changed my life. The atmosphere is warm, respectful and very flexible with the tasks, which makes everything much better. In addition to being located in a beautiful place, I met wonderful people, practiced my English and lived moments that I will never forget. Thanks to everyone for so much affection. I know I will return, I felt that the hostel was my home away from home. ♥

One of the best volunteer experiences I've ever had ❤️ How incredible it was to be part of this family!
I felt welcomed from day one. The tasks are calm and it's one of the cleanest and most organized hostels I've stayed in.
I have no words to describe how amazing my experience was. I'll say goodbye for now, because I will undoubtedly return. Thank you so much! ❤️

The hostel is an ideal experience for any type of traveler. They are close and make you feel part of the team from moment 1. For me they were an oasis in the wonderful city of Puerto Natales. A completely recommendable experience; the work is superb for what they offer, and the food is simply exquisite. I will definitely return.
