I had a really nice stay in Punta Arenas! Gustavo is a super cool host, he takes care of you and cooks delicious meals! The working hours are fair and the work is totally doable :) I practiced my Spanish here and got in contact with travelers from other countries. I was there in off season, so maybe it's more stressful during high season, but I would definitely recommend the place for volunteers. It's also nice to discover the area around Punta Arenas :)

My experience at Haikén Hostel was very positive and I would definitely recommend. The hours are good, the atmosphere is homely and Gustavo is a very nice host. Of course the two lovely dogs make the stay complete.

Hermosa experiencia en el hostel! Gustavo, Thor y Nala pronto te suman a su manada. Gustavo es un gran anfitrión, muy buena persona, te ayuda y asesora en todo lo que necesites para disfrutar a pleno de la ciudad. Las actividades son acorde a lo solicitado, Gustavo te explica con mucha paciencia para que puedas llevarlas a cabo. Es un lugar muy familiar y tranquilo. Las charlas con Gustavo son muy divertidas. Y el parcito Thor y Nala se ocupan de que tengas mucho amor para toda tu estadía y el resto de tu viaje. Agradezco haber compartido con ustedes!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
