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.

La hostal el hostel fue mi primera experiencia de voluntariado y fue un lugar perfecto para empezar. Es un lugar muy hermoso y acogedor, desde el momento en que que llegue todos fueron muy amables y respondieron todas mis dudas. Los horarios eran muy flexibles y pude cambiar algunos días para que me tocará mejor clima y así pude conocer otros lugares de la isla de Chiloé en mis días libres Gracias por hacer mis días en Ancud más cálidos, con cada conversación, compañía y por esos momentos compartiendo la comida o una cervecita 💛 Pd: aún no se cual es la canción de mi vida

Hola, soy francisca y estuve tres semanas como voluntaria en el hostel. Es una experiencia demasiado buena, te sientes como en casa desde el primer día, todo el equipo de trabajo es excelente, se respetan los horarios y dias libres🥳. Hay flexibilidad en ello, y una armonía muy buena dentro del hostel. Yo volvería sin dudar a ser voluntaria aquí. Así que le agradezco al equipo por la buena onda y cariño, las buenas comidas y conversaciones❤️. Y para los nuevos voluntarios, siempre llegar con la disposición de trabajar bien y entregar un buen servicio❤️. No es exigente.

Experiencia que nunca quiero olvidar, todo fue demasiado lindo, la casa, el ambiente y lo mas importantes las personas. Todos ahí eran muy amables( yo no me quería ir de ahí) es como estar en tu casa se siente tan hogareño. Agradezco de todo corazón que ese haya sido mi primero voluntariado, Diego, Mari, Richard y Claudio son personas muy cariñosas. Lejos la mejor experiencia de vida.

La experiencia en el voluntariado del hostel es trascendental. Desde que llegas a la ciudad hay una magia en el aire que el hostal replica y apropia. Mari, Richard, Diego, Claudio y Reni me hicieron sentir en casa. Cada día fue una anécdota diferente e inolvidable. Solo pasar el tiempo en el hostal o recorrer las calles de Chiloe valen cada segundo. La ubicación es una pasada para viajar al resto de la isla, tienes las terminales muy cerca. Los huéspedes son demasiado ambiente, no hay día aburrido. Si quieres practicar inglés, es idóneo. Gracias a los chicos por tanto, volveré si o si ?
