I had a great stay at the hostel! The work was easy and flexible, mainly involving cleaning, which gave me plenty of free time to explore Huaraz. Carlos is a very kind and caring host who really does his best to make your stay special and enjoyable. He is always helpful and makes you feel welcome from the very beginning. Thank you, Carlos, for everything! I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend this volunteer experience to others.

The work was very easy (just cleaning) and the working hours were very flexible. You can organize your own working hours, which I found very good and relaxing.
Carlos was also a very nice host who always took good care of you. He often offered to show me around the area and you also get discounts on tours, which is really great.
There is a lot to see in the area and the nature is impressive.
I can highly recommend it. :))

I'd definitely recommend it!

Beautiful experience at the hostel ❤️ From the start, Carlos was always attentive to make me feel comfortable and able to enjoy it, the communication was always very good and the volunteer schedules were flexible. Huaraz seemed incredible and its people were even more beautiful. Without a doubt, I recommend this volunteering and I hope to return next year ❤️🙌🏻❤️

My experience at the hostel has been very good; since it is off-season, the work was quite easy; Carlos is always attentive to any concern and makes you feel at home. Huaraz is an excellent place to discover beautiful lagoons and go hiking in the Cordillera Blanca; the view of Huascarán is simply magnificent; I would undoubtedly recommend living the experience.
