I volunteered at the hostel in arequipa historic center for a week and really enjoyed it. Fernanda is super sweet, kind, making sure you're doing good at all times. The work is done in the morning, for me it was mostly housekeeping, cleaning..so the afternoon was free to explore beautiful arequipa. There weren't many English speaking guests, but even with my limited spanish I got around. Would recommend!

My time at the reserve Camping was a great experience. It's a really great place to fully immerse yourself and connect with nature. The work is fun and varied. It's not difficult as long as you don't mind a bit of manual labour. One thing I'd point out is that the room where I was staying was very different to that in the picture and the facilities are very basic. My room hadn't been used for a long time and was pretty dirty when I arrived which we then had to clean. I think from this point the host could have been a bit more organised as he knew I was arriving in advance.

My expérience is very particular because it's inexistant. The host informs me that the volonteer was not possible the day when the volonteer was supposed to start, i was litteraly on my way…. So i cannot judge the volonteer that seems to be cool. What im judging is the lack of communication and respect shown towards me.

Unclear listing: no photos of the actual workplace, misleading images, and an incorrect address on Google Maps. I only found out where I would actually be working on the day of arrival.
On site, I had my own room and a fair amount of freedom, which suited me. However, there was no structure: no schedule, no days off defined in advance, no explanation of the tasks, and very limited cleaning supplies. I ended up cleaning on my own, without organization or interaction.
Communication by message was pleasant, but there was no presence on site. The experience felt quite far from what I expected

This is more of a hotel than it is a hostel. I was there for two weeks and met one single English speaker. The rest were Peruvian families and travelers. This was totally ok with me as I speak Spanish but if you are a non Spanish speaker and you want to meet other travelers this is definitely not the place for you. It's a very quiet, lowkey hotel with not a lot of socializing going on. The owners Yasmany and Fernanda are very kind and helpful. It's in a good location and everything in the hotel functions well. Just know this is not a backpackers hostel.
