This was my first volunteering experience and it was very relaxed. The 5 hours of work per day depend on how many guests are staying at the hostel — meaning how many rooms need to be cleaned or organized — but in any case, it never goes beyond 5 hours. Work usually starts around 10 or 11 a.m., so there's plenty of free time in the afternoon to explore or do your own thing. I didn't have much interaction with the hostel managers, apart from 2 or 3 short encounters, but Cris is super welcoming and has a great vibe. I recommend this place if you're looking for a volunteering opportunity that g

Fue bonita la llegada y conocí desde el principio a Nathan, el otro voluntario, una persona genial. Luego conocí al equipo completo quienes han sido muy agradables y han explicado todo el funcionamiento, es tal cual como señalan en su descripción y cumplen con lo acordado, además son flexibles y con bonita energía. Max el recepcionista es súper claro y ordenado, da todos los datitos que se necesitan para disfrutar la ciudad. El hostel es limpio, lindo y bien ubicado. Este es mi primer voluntariado en Chile y ha sido una hermosa experiencia, lo recomiendo 100%. Agradezco su compartir.

El equipo del hostel merece un 1000/10. Fui muy bien recibida y acogida desde el primer día. Se respetan los horarios de trabajo, el alojamiento es cómodo y las tareas son totalmente realizables. Max, Evelyn y Stefany son personas muy comprometidas con su trabajo, atentas y responsables. Estaré eternamente agradecida por todo el cariño y la acogida que me brindaron. El hostel está ubicado frente a la playa y Coquimbo es una ciudad increíble. Es un voluntariado que realmente vale la pena conocer. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente!

Mi experiencia fue buena, no tuve problemas con nadie ni con nada, me gusto compartir con otros voluntarios, y con huéspedes de otras nacionalidades, el ambiente era agradable, y relax, en el tema de lavar ropa me hubiera gustado que se organizara un dia a la semana para que los voluntarios pudieran lavar, ya que uno preguntaba y nos decían que si, que después les aviso y no avisaban y tenía que andar preguntando a cada rato y eso era tedioso. Pero fuera de eso una experiencia que volvería a repetir 🩵

Desde el momento que llegué me recibieron de 10. El ambiente es súper amigable, la ubicación ideal, el hostel es hermoso, las instalaciones son cómodas. Siempre hay alguien al pendiente si necesitas algo durante tu trabajo, y buscan que te sientas a gusto, es un gran equipo. Es especialmente seguro para mujeres. Conoces viajeros de todo el mundo, está genial si buscás intercambio cultural. Recomiendo voluntariar acá y definitivamente volvería 🩷 Agradecida por esta experiencia hermosa
