Staying at Wayuu hostel was an incredible experience! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, but what truly sets this place apart is Gigi. She has a huge heart and is always ready to help others. The hostel also actively engages in social impact initiatives, which made my time there even more meaningful. If you're looking for a place that cares about the community and its guests, Wayuu hostel is the perfect choice. Can't recommend it enough!

Thank you Gaby for your words, you are a beautiful person and I know that you will go far, keep fighting for your goals that being who you are you will achieve everything wonderful that you want for yourself, I also admire the way you impact the community and I know that they will always remember you just like you. I, you have a bright future and I know that I am not wrong every time I say yes to each volunteer, I would not say that none of them were just one more, I will always say that each one of you and you are a contribution to all those who need us to make them feel included and important in this life, thank you thank you thank you for your contribution and your dedication, your mark was left on Wayuuco and on the children of the community, Mrs. Gaby will be remembered.

Fue una experiencia que cumplió con todas mis expectativas y no solo eso, me ayudó en mi crecimiento personal ya que Gigi es una persona muy linda, sabe escuchar a las personas y puedes platicar de cualquier cosa con ella. Las tareas son muy fáciles y tienes mucho tiempo libre para poder conocer Riohacha y sus alrededores, es un ambiente muy lindo y tranquilo, la comida riquísima!!! Fue una experiencia muy linda ❤️

Vine con la intención de conocer la Guajira y no pude llegar a un mejor lugar.🏜️Las instalaciones del hostal son muy buenas, tenemos habitación (compartida) con aire para descansar, las labores son fáciles, la comida es muy buena y Gigi me acogió desde el primer momento. En mi búsqueda por conocer este departamento ella me asesoró en todo y me ayudó a conseguir las mejores opciones, pude conocer mucho y vivir la experiencia de quedarme en una comunidad Wayuu donde también me recibieron como en casa🫶🏼. Con Gigi hicimos un muy buen trabajo juntas y le agradezco por ayudarme a abrir puertas aquí.

Lindo lugar y linda experiencia, pero lo mas lindo es la calidad humana que encontré aqui. Gigi y las personas que la rodean hacen que el hostal se sienta en poco tiempo como un hogar, aprendí mucho sobre la cultura local, tuve la oportunidad de acercarme a la comunidad wayuu y a su manera de ver la vida, hablar por horas con Gigi sobre su vida y sus anécdotas divertidas y hacer amigos que me llevaré en el corazón toda la vida, eso no tiene precio. Gracias Gigi por mi primera experiencia como voluntaria, dejaste la vara muy alta 🌞🌙

Este voluntariado fue como un abrazo muy cálido desde antes que llegáramos el cariño de Gigi la anfitriona se sentía con fuerza. Todo el voluntariado fue alegría y risas con las historias y bromas de Gigi nos divertimos todo el tiempo, comimos delicioso todo el tiempo y lo mejor fue poder tener con quien compartir. Siempre nos ayudamos unos con los otros en lo que necesitáramos. Y era un espacio muy acogedor. Agradezco mucho mi tiempo aquí me voy muy feliz y complacida. Sé que volveré a este lugar que fue mi hogar durante más de un mes❤️
