Undoubtedly, it's the best hostel I've stayed at; the place is immaculate, the vibe it gives off makes leaving very hard; I would definitely come back again and again; I was creating content and Luis is very kind and open and makes you feel at home; he welcomed me very well and has a vision and an incredible place; special mention to the staff Paula, Angie, and Sandra, they are incredible people; they made me feel like family the whole time, from day #1; I have no words to thank them for the treatment; I hope life allows me to see them again; THANK YOU SAN GIL 🙌🏼

My experience at the hostel was surreal! From the facilities, location, tasks and activities of the hostel, but also for the warmth and welcome of the team itself which was incredible, I felt at home. The tasks were clarified from the start and Luís always made himself available so that everything could be delivered as planned. We went together to cascades, natural pools, other activities near San Gil and in the city itself, such as the public market, to produce content. I highly recommend it! The location is spot on, close to the main square and to a "Terminalito".

My experience at the hostel was truly amazing!!! I feel very lucky and grateful to have lived this experience. Thanks to the whole great team, Paula, Sandra, Fer, and Angie, for their kindness and good vibes toward me. Thanks to Luis and Johana for giving me the opportunity to help them by doing what I love most; for me, it is an honor to leave a mark and help them with whatever they need. Volunteering like this is indescribable... A dream... Being in San Gil too, its people, its energy are very special, its surroundings... I simply fell in love with San Gil. I will be back... Thank you, thank you endlessly!

Amazing, I felt at home during the two weeks I was there! Everyone is a big family, the work is very simple, the place is incredible, the hostel is huge and it gives you a sense of calm. The people who arrive at the hostel are super cool. Very grateful to all the guys on the hostel team. If you go to San Gil, the hostel is definitely the best option to volunteer!! Don't think twice about it ❤️
