This was my first volunteering experience and I honestly couldn't have wished for a better experience. Upon arrival, all the volunteers were very welcoming so within just a few days I felt right at home. All of the expectations of the tasks are always communicated beforehand so I found our daily tasks not difficult at all. Really appreciate everyone here for making my time here memorable (:

This has been my first experience as a volunteer and I'm so happy that has been here. I've stayed one month and I felt that I was at home the whole time. Chris, Hervé and Virginie are just the best, always there if you need something and trying to do the best for this hostel. They have created a big family and even if we are on the other side of the world I'm sure that all of us are going to remember this with a lot of love. I'll definitely repeat next year. Thanks Virginie, Chris, Hervé and all the volunteers for making this month the best of my life, I'm going to miss you 🫶🏻

I've been delaying my review since I don't want to say goodbye to this wonderful place, I guess everything in life comes to an end…except memories! And let me tell you that the memories we created in this volunteering where incredible, since day 1 I felt like home, not because of the place (Which is literally in the middle of Downtown; great base point) but because of the staff and of course other volunteers, Chris is a fucking Leyend! Very professional, respectful, funny and he does some great Tiramisu's haha, got here not knowing anyone and ended up leaving with a “family”…Thank you!
