My stay at the hostel was very pleasant; the shared room is comfortable, they provide breakfast and dinner, and there is a shared kitchen. Working at the bar/kitchen is quite relaxed most days, and basically, we just need to wash dishes and take orders (5 hours per day and 2 days off). The hostel is well-located, and you can take the bus to most nearby activities. I recommend it! P.S. Santa Marta is VERY HOT.

The hostel was an amazing place to volunteer at! I worked as a bartender and the work was pretty relaxed but engaging as you get to socialize with other travelers. Some of the most fun I had was socializing with Luis the chef there and other volunteers! Luis made my stay there and the meals he cooked for us were delicioso!! Accommodation was great and hours were just right. I still had plenty of time to explore. Location is pretty central but still out of the center 5-7 min walk which was perfect for me. I would recommend this hostal for volunteering 👍

My time at the hostel was really wonderful. I truly enjoyed volunteering here. The host, Pau, was very kind and flexible with the hours, which made everything feel comfortable and easy. He was also very open to my ideas when it came to creating content, and that made the experience even more enjoyable. Communication with him was always smooth and clear. The work itself was fun and meaningful, and I appreciated being able to contribute in a creative way. The staff were all very friendly and kind to me during my stay, which made me feel very welcomed. Overall atmosphere was warm and positive!

The hostel is a great place to spend time in and around. The tasks are simple and you get the liberty of working together with other volunteers as well as with an amazing team in the kitchen and the reception. Guests are mostly laid back and open to have a chat whenever. There are also Colombian guests at times so you definitely get the opportunity to practice your Spanish. Sidenote: if you're big and will spend a longer period there, do inquire to have a solid matrass as that was the only thing that took some sleep and energy during a few nights! The only downside.

The best volunteer experience I've done, without a doubt, SUPER RECOMMENDABLE.
The vibe, the people, the place and the location.
They welcome you as if you were at home, and the food, the pool, are super excellent.
Additionally, the owners are super friendly.
I left with an excellent experience
