Had a lot of fun here! Slower vibe since it is a 25 minute walk to a few stores (not much to do). 3 hours to Quito center by bus or 1 hour by Uber- which is also pretty inexpensive. Had a set schedule from 7am-1pm cleaning rooms and helping out with any additional tasks around the Hostal. Super cute space and definitely used the pool/ hot tub :) The people here are super nice and welcoming- cooking me food and being able to practice my Spanish!!

A beautiful place to stay! I worked 7am - 1 pm helping serve breakfast, wash dishes, clean rooms, and any other tasks they needed help with. It is nice and quiet since it is far from the city center, about 3 hours by busses or 1 hour by uber.

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 :)
