This was my first volunteering experience, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better one. From the beginning, Lucie, her team, and the people I met made me feel incredibly welcome. Working on the hostel's social media gave me the chance to really connect with guests and staff, share laughs, and become part of the place rather than just volunteer there. I loved the atmosphere, the food, the bar, and especially how diving brings everyone together. I'm leaving with great memories and people I'm genuinely happy to have met.

I had a good experience here. The tasks are easy and the team is super nice! The room has a good ac and the hours are fair for what you get in return. Only I could recommend maybe explaining the tasks and how the restaurant works better from the beginning. But you'll figure it out after a few days

I had an amazing first volunteering experience at the host. Larry and Lucie welcomed me with open arms and the place quickly started to feel like home. The tasks were easy and doable in a short time so I had more than enough time to hang out with the other volunteers or go to the beach. The only downside was that the schedule was not planned far in advance but Larry was very accommodating when someone needed specific days off. Taganga is such a beautiful little town and Santa Marta is only a short taxi ride away for a fun night out. I will come back to visit the host family again!

I had a great first volunteer experience here. Lucie and Larry made me feel at home. the host is truly a home and I think all guests felt similar — many extending their stay because they liked the atmosphere so much. The provided food was also always nutritious and delicious. Right before I left they also started renovations so I'm excited to see this place become even better. Taganga is a beautiful quite town but so close to Santa Marta that you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. 10/10

I really enjoyed my time at the host! The vibe is really chill and the team are all really wonderful & welcoming people :) We spent a lot of time together just hanging out, talking, cooking, playing games, going snorkeling,… so it quickly felt like home 😊 Lucy owns 2 hostels, so I worked in the kitchen & bar at “the host” and lived at “La Casa” with the others. Work was simple: you serve food & drinks, wash dishes, cut veggies... Lucy coordinates work at “the host” and has a very direct style of communication. So you always know what's going on, but it can come across as harsh at times. :)
