I had a fantastic experience at Hostal Colibrí. It is a really well run hostal with loads of different tasks for volunteers to get involved with. The staff are friendly and professional and keen to learn and share information with the volunteers that they host. It gave me a good insight into what makes a great hostal. I enjoyed the tasks, a lot of gardening to start with but also helping with breakfasts, cleaning and preparing rooms and attending reception. I got on really well with everyone else working there and would definitely go back.

I had an amazing experience volunteering at Hostal Colibrí! The atmosphere was welcoming and full of positive energy. A very special thank you to Teresa, who became my Ecuadorian mom during these two unforgettable weeks. Her kindness and care made me feel at home every single day. I'm so grateful for this beautiful experience! Thank you to everyone!

All of the staff are incredibly warm friendly faces! It's a very quiet and calm environment. Being outside of Quito is a bit annoying if you want to get to downtown but there's tons of transportation. The tasks are simple and the shifts fly by quickly. It was a really wonderful first experience with volunteering :)

The hostel is in a very nice place, it has a swimming pool where you can relax and meet other travelers! The hosts are very nice people who try to make you feel like home especially Felipe! They also make you lunch and they are great chefs! It was my first volunteer experience but I really recommend this one! You can enjoy Quito (after a 30min) bus ride and the hostel is in a very calm and relaxed area !

Hostal Colibrí is a really nice place, quiet, in the nature, the place has a swimming pool, fishes swimming in a little lake. My room was clean and comfortable, they (Felipe and Tere) are generous and kind people, made me feel like old friends. Highly recommended. That was my first Worldpackers experience, this community is a powerful tool to travel.

Good things: Felipe is a really nice and kind person. The “room” for volunteers, in my opinion, is disrespectful. It's dirty, with mattress so thin that even putting 2 together you could feel the bed. The place is above the reception, where also happens events for the hotel, so, without warning we stayed up until 3am with really loud music, at least a warning would be nice. The meals included are confusing, you could have anything from the kitchen (messy one) but we were questioned about eating a bread one morning. The activities went fine and as agreed but I don't feel it was a fair trade.

The job is really fun and a great opportunity to learn. The hostel is comfortable and a great place to relax. The staff is really nice and friendly, they make me feel home since the first day. I am totally thankful for such an amazing experience!

Esse lugar é muito bom e recomendo. Só é um pouco distante para pegar um ônibus. O melhor do lugar é a água quente, muito bom aquilo.

Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa en Hostal Colibrí. Felipe y su familia son super chéveres. Desde el principio me trataron muy bien y me sentí como en casa. Las tareas son fáciles de completar y las reglas muy claras y flexibles. No tengo más que gratitud para todos: doña Merci, Don Anderson, Feli, Santi, mi pana Adrián, David, doña Meli, doña Elsita, doña Tere, a todos mil gracias. Me encantaron los perritos y la gatita que tienen. También tuve la oportunidad de practicar un poco el inglés con los extranjeros y los paisajes en los alrededores son simplemente bellos

Gracias a Felipe y su familia por su acogida y amabilidad. Nos sentimos integrados e inmersos en la cultura local. El lugar es realmente bonito y agradable. Un poco lejos del centro de Quito, pero se puede llegar en bus o taxi. La comunicación sobre las tareas a realizar podría mejorar, pero aun así, guardamos un muy buen recuerdo y agradezco nuevamente a esta familia por su gentileza.
