I had a great time at the hostel! Bert and his wife Maria are very lovely. The hostel is very nice with a homey feel in a beautiful area. The main task is preparing the breakfast, were you take turns with one other volunteer. Other then that the tasks are just helping around the hostel a bit, answering questions from guest and helping with check ins. In exchange you get free accommodation, breakfast and a shelf full of food to make some lunch and dinner. If you want to relax at a beautiful hostel, enjoy the town and go on hikes around Samaipata I would definitely recommend the hostel.

The Hostal the hostel is a place, which is built up whith heart and soul of Bert. The garden is rich in plants and the building is decorated with many pictures, is comfy and welcoming. The main tasks as a Volonteer are helping to prepare the breakfast in the morning, to check in new guests and help them, if they have questions. A regular schedule of shifts don't exist, so it is important to communicate with Bert. He is an open person, which communicates in a good way and always find a solution. His wife Maria-René practiced spanish with me, and their kids are very polite and friendly.

Had a great experience at the hostel. The place and it's view are magical, perfect for a bit of relaxation in between your travels whilst continuing to meet many other travelers on their way through. Samaipata itself is also great, a surprising amount of things to do given its small size.

My experience wasn't the best here. There are not structured schedules, there are just two volunteers which make breakfast and are supposed to take turns to be around the whole day unless one of them has a tour or something important to do. Tasks are pretty easy but the fact of not be free and be always available for whatever guests need is not nice. I felt like my time was not respected. I had to ask for some time off, the host probably didn't mind if I didn't ask. The work I I did was by far way beyond the 25 hours, been around and available is also working.

Jimena was'nt really a succes. It seemed difficult for her to deal with a daily schedule and she's not really used to a little bit of authority. To be grateful is a quality which not everybody has.
With two volunteers around it was not easy for her to do her daily tasks. Nevertheless we do wish her all the best.

I had a good time at the hostel Hostal and I've met many international travelers there. The hostel is located up the hill with an amazing view from the mountains and the whole city of Samaipata. The hosts provided me a private room, a great breakfast and free food during my stay.

Mi experiencia fue simplemente genial. Aprendí muchísimo, especialmente con el inglés, y sentí que cada día era una oportunidad para crecer. Las actividades son sencillas y muy llevaderas, lo que permite disfrutar del lugar y conectar con la gente. Bert y María René son personas increíblemente amables y cálidas; nunca me sentí lejos de casa, al contrario, me hicieron sentir parte de un hogar. Recomiendo este voluntariado a todos los que busquen una experiencia enriquecedora, con un ambiente acogedor y un intercambio cultural real. Sin duda volvería.

Mi experiencia en el hostal fue muy buena, me encantó Samaipata y el ritmo de vida rodeado de naturaleza. El espacio del hostal es tranquilo, las actividades de voluntariado también son tranquilas, yo fui la encargada del desayuno, el cual compartí durante días con Rosa, Maria y Bert que son personas buenas y flexibles
