The Experience

We're looking for volunteers who can help us with the hostel's daily tasks :) Usually we have designated roles for the work to be done, but there are days when we may ask you to help with cleaning and other days when you can assist at the reception. We will always be open to requests and suggestions :) If you have any skills you'd like to share, we'd be happy to give you a space :)

This was my first time volunteering abroad, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Claudio, Diego, Mary, and Richard were extremely generous and welcoming hosts. Working hours were flexible and the tasks easy, I always felt cared for by the staff, it was as if they welcomed me in to their family. The house itself is beautiful, spacious, and clean. The beds are comfortable and there is a well-stocked kitchen. There is a wonderful social atmosphere around the hostel- I will never forget watching sunsets from the terrace, cooking dinner with guests, and sharing many laughs.

The hostel La hostal el hostel was my first volunteer experience and it was a perfect place to start. It is a very beautiful and welcoming place, since the moment I arrived everyone was very kind and answered all my doubts. The schedules were very flexible and I could change some days so that I would get better weather and thus I could know other places on the island of Chiloé in my days off. Thank you for making my days in Ancud warmer, with every conversation, company and for those moments sharing food or a beer 💛 P.S.: I still don't know what the song of my life is

Hi, I'm Francisca and I spent three weeks as a volunteer at the hostel. It's an incredibly good experience; you feel at home from day one, the whole team is excellent, schedules and days off are respected 🥳. There is flexibility in it, and a very good harmony inside the hostel. I would return without a doubt to volunteer here. So I thank the team for the good vibe and affection, the good meals and conversations ❤️.

And for new volunteers, always come with the willingness to work well and deliver a good service ❤️. It's not demanding.

An experience I never want to forget; everything was so beautiful—the house, the atmosphere, and, most importantly, the people. Everyone there was very kind (I didn't want to leave). It felt like being at home; it was so cozy. From the bottom of my heart, I’m grateful that this was my first volunteer experience. Diego, Mari, Richard, and Claudio are very kind people. By far the best life experience.

The volunteering experience at the hostel is transcendental. From the moment you arrive in the city, there is a magic in the air that the hostel mirrors and makes its own. Mari, Richard, Diego, Claudio and Reni made me feel at home. Each day was a different and unforgettable anecdote. Just spending time at the hostel or wandering the streets of Chiloe is worth every second. The location is fantastic for traveling to the rest of the island; the terminals are very close. The guests are such a vibe; there isn’t a dull day. If you want to practice English, it’s ideal. Thanks to the guys for everything; I will definitely be back.
