My time at the hostel was a truly wonderful experience. The whole team is very friendly and always willing to help Sebastián treats volunteers not just as extra hands to help but as part of a family. He genuinely wants to share his experience, show his way of life, and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere Everything that was promised was provided, and I believe this is a great example of a beneficial experience The place itself is safe and surrounded by beautiful nature and kind people I will definitely miss this place and will always remember my time at the hostel <3

My experience at the hostel exceeded all my expectations. The staff (Margarita, Triana, Sebas & Mauro) made me feel at home from day one. The facilities are beautiful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I had the opportunity to meet many locals as well as travelers from around the world. I enjoyed every single day of my stay at the hostel and would absolutely love to return!

The hostel became a family to me. The whole staff is so incredibly supportive and kind. The host is super friendly and helped me even before I got to Salento. I definitely recommend if you want to connect with international people and chill in nature. The facilites of the hostel are super comfortable, I honestly couldn't have any better. I want to come back!

I had an amazing time at the hostel! My tasks varied from organising activities to helping with the breakfast in the morning (only serving, not preparing the food). Working together with the barista/bartender was soo much fun and with the activities I was able to explore the area around Salento as well! Everyone was super welcoming and constantly checked if I'm feeling good or need anything. I would highly recommend staying here :) Thanks a lot!

I had a really nice time at the hostel! Sebastian and everyone else from the staff were lovely and I learned a lot about Colombian culture from them (specially food and authentic slang haha). Salento is also a really nice place to slow down while traveling and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. I mostly helped out in the kitchen, which I didn't expect and was a bit monotonous at times but overall a good experience :)
