The Experience

Hi! 😊 We're Sebas and Mafe, a young, entrepreneurial couple who opened this beautiful space in the loveliest little town in Colombia. We're looking for someone full of good energy, who enjoys sharing with people, conversing, participating in the activities this magical place offers, and who is animal-friendly 🐾 (we have two adorable kitties at the hostel 🐱🐱).

Mafe and Sebas are excellent hostsess, they are always caring about the wellness of the volunteer and the experience in Villa de Leyva, they recomend places to go, and invite you to know the events in the town with them. I had a lovely experince, the glamping is just for the voluteer, very nice place and not so far from the central plaza, I was there with my little dog and for both of us was an amazing experince, I will do it again any time.

This was my first WP experience and I couldn't have picked a better place! Mafe and Sebas made me feel right at home and were super flexible with my remote work schedule. During my three weeks there, they showed me around town and I had a lot of fun! Villa de Leyva is safe, peaceful, and surrounded by mountains on all sides, great if you enjoy walking. At the hostel, my tasks were mainly keeping rooms ready for guests and common areas tidy. Everything was manageable and Mafe and Sebas were always there to support me. They pour so much love into what they do and it shows, can't wait to go back!

It was an incredible month in Villa de Leyva. Not only for how beautiful the town is but also for its culture and the range of events and things to do. Mafe and Sebas are super attentive; the agreed hours are always respected, as are the tasks that must be fulfilled in the accommodations. They also made sure I got to know more parts of Boyacá, making me stay longer than planned... honestly, it's incredibly beautiful! I would highly recommend it.

Volunteering with the hostel has been really special. It has been a 1,000,000/10. I am enormously grateful to Sebas... MaFe and Sofi for all the kindness and warmth during my stay with them. The hostel is super beautiful, cozy, clean and pleasant, the activities and tasks to be carried out were well explained and I had support at all times and whenever I needed guidance on anything, they were always willing to help me.
I hope to return at another time and continue sharing with you all.
More than recommended to come to the hostel to volunteer and to stay in this lovely place.

I can\'t find enough words in the world to describe this wonderful experience. We formed a great team and shared beautiful moments. Volunteering at the hostel goes beyond exchange; it\'s a great sharing, making you feel at home and with friends. From the first moment I received a warm welcome and my own very comfortable room with everything I needed.
