Overall I had an decent experience at the hostel. Chío and Liz the receptionist were always in a good mood when I saw them. Most communication with the host was done via WhatsApp right before the shift started. There was no daily cleaning schedule except the bathrooms and kitchen so most things that needed to be cleaned needed to be deep cleaned. There were very few guests during my time there. Breakfast was some bread, a boiled egg and a banana. I would say this experience would vary greatly depending on time of year and number of volunteers. Nice location if you are in Arequipa.

The hostel es un lugar increíble! Desde el primer momento Chío y Liz nos hicieron sentir como en casa, nos acogieron con muchísimo cariño, compartiendo desayunos y cenas, charlas, música... Las tareas son muy sencillas; limpieza, preparacion de habitaciones, ayuda con los desayunos y algunas cositas puntuales. Los horarios son claros y flexibles y te dejan tiempo para conocer la ciudad. Además el hostel es muy lindo y está situado en una zona bonita, tranquila y cerca del centro. Sin duda, ha sido una de las mejores experiencias de voluntariado que hemos vivido ¡gracias chicas!

El ambiente es cálido y alegre, el hostel es muy bonito y las habitaciones cómodas. Las tareas son fáciles y bien organizadas, y gracias a los horarios pudimos disfrutar mucho nuestro tiempo libre. La ubicación es perfecta para explorar Arequipa. Nos llevamos lindos recuerdos, risas y momentos compartidos con viajeros y locales. ¡Muy agradecidos!

L'hostel est génial, avec de beaux espaces communs et extérieurs et une équipe merveilleuse ! Chio est un vrai soleil, joyeuse et énergique, c'est un plaisir de travailler avec elle. Liz est aussi super gentille, douce et patiente ! On partage des repas ensemble, Chio m'a appris a faire du ceviche et de merveilleux pancakes. Les tâches sont très bien expliquées au début du séjour, tout est très clair, et la charge de travail est vraiment raisonnable, correspondant à ce qui est indiqué (voir un peu moins selon l'affluence). Je recommande vraiment, c'était merveilleux ❤️ vous allez me manquer 🫶
