My experience in the hostel was great! The location of this hostel is really nice to explore arequipa. And also it is chill and small, which I liked☺️ I stayed in a private room, and there was a small kitchen only for the volunteers, so I could cook. All the tasks were simple (reception and a bit of cleaning), and even when I made mistakes, Max always helped me and kindly explained everything again. He also adjusted my shift to the afternoon because I have a fixed plan every morning. And whenever I wanted to visit places that were a bit far, I could always talk to Max and sort it out😊

Volunteering at the hostel was something incredible and a turning point for me! I met incredible people, made friends and enjoyed Arequipa to the fullest. The shift was very calm and flexible, the room comfortable and the schedules were agreed upon. I loved having been part of this family and I hope to see them again. Thank you, hostel family!

Well, to be honest my experience at the hostel was excellent, one of the best volunteering experiences I've been part of. The place is central, you have everything nearby, plus it's comfortable; cozy. You really feel at home. Elliot and Claudia are extremely kind, respectful and considerate. The schedules are flexible; that allows you to organize to be able to carry out the activities you want to do. Something extremely important to mention is that volunteering is with a private room!! Which adds a lot to the experience. Without further to say, I highly recommend!! Thank you very much 🫂

It has been my first volunteer experience and definitely the best place to start. We arrived a week early, and the fellow volunteers welcomed us with a lot of warmth. We met amazing people and connected right away. The hosts were very kind and also gave us a great welcome. Thank you, Eliot and Claudia, for accepting us and for the opportunity to live this experience. The tasks and shifts are exactly as described. They are easy tasks to learn, and any doubt was always resolved with the help of the fellow volunteers and the hosts. I recommend this place. I miss you all already!

Elliot and Claudia are wonderful hosts, always available in case of questions. They explained in detail the tasks of the hostel, which are very simple and relaxed, and exactly as described. At the beginning of each week you know which shift you will have, that allows a good organization of your free time. The rooms are private for volunteers, but the bathrooms and the kitchen are shared. Living with the other volunteers was unbeatable, we connected instantly and spent a lot of time together creating unforgettable memories :) 100% recommended, especially for beginners!
