Highly recommended! From the first contact I could already feel Eimy's positive energy, and personally it was even better... great vibes and good interaction from the start.
The tasks are clear and well defined, the schedules are respected, and the meals give us money to buy things, which gives us freedom and lets us do as we like.
The location is great, the atmosphere wonderful, we can connect with guests, we go out to walk, enjoy the night, interact and make good friendships with the amazing people who pass through Family hostel, drawn by its good energy.
Clean facilities and well organized!

Thanks for the experience, those were days of learning in the kitchen, salsa classes, hikes and landscapes that other volunteers were teaching me. ✌🏽

Family Host, as its name suggests, made me feel like family. Personally, I had a great experience at this place; I could learn a lot about the hostel in my free time, and because it is such a welcoming place I could connect with wonderful people. Thanks for everything I’ve experienced these days and I carry you in my heart ❤️ Until next time!!
