The hostel is a great place to stay. It is located in a very nice part of town where there is a lot to see. The schedules were always given ahead and respected and the staff was friendly and nice to work with. It is a calm place to relax. Do recommend!

Yarumo Hostel Bogota was a wonderful volunteer experience that truly felt like home. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed warmly and quickly felt part of the team. I loved team, everyone was super friendly. The tasks usually are easy and fun.Although my first time in South America, I felt like home. I had good friends here.
Thank you for everything.

I had a nice experience at the hostel, this is a great place to levar about coffe preparation, most of the weekend shifts are doente helping in the café . Aikel was amazing,she was always kind and willing to help whenever I had questions. The longer shifts are usually on saturdays and sundays, while during the week the Tasks are mostrou related to keeping the hostel very clean and organized. The coworking space is comfortable, the volunteer room is comfortable too.

The management was very kind and welcoming, the dorm was clean and spacious. The hostel itself was in a good and safe location with plenty of things to do. Weekends were long hours but during the week it was short and quick shifts. Expect most of your work to be serving coffees and cleaning the kitchen. The manager is EXTREMELY hard working and was very gracious to my lack of Spanish!
