It was okay. The volunteers room has a ridiculously small window so ventilation is not great and can get muggy inside especially with the hot weather. The work is pretty easy and you have a set amount of tasks. The provided breakfast was a let down and is very small. The guests get like 8 things from the breakfast cabinet (fruit, cheese, eggs, meat, oatmeal, yoghurt, bread, sweet bread, etc) while volunteers only get two. There is a mini market, metro, & park that are very close. The park did have multiple demonstrations at night that included things getting set on fire/throwing of glass.

This was my first volunteer experience and it could not have been more enjoyable. During the month I spent in Santiago, the hostel became my home and the staff became my family. Everybody was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. This experience is perfect for anybody who is looking to improve their Spanish. I spent a lot of time practicing with staff and guests from all over the continent. To the team - gracias por todo - and I know where I'll be staying when I decide to return to Santiago!

Loreen is an amazing person, always attentive and kind. The hostel staff is also very friendly and helps us whenever needed. The work is super easygoing and the schedules are respected. the hostel is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The terrace is spacious and helps connect with other travelers, and there's a coworking space for digital nomads. The hostel's location is wonderful as it's situated in the city center. I hope to come back soon 😁

I had a great time at the hostel. Loreen is very welcoming and friendly. We agreed the scheduled days and days off. The hours are reasonable, so I had plenty of time to explore Santiago. The hostel is very clean, which made the work more pleasant. I enjoyed working with reception and meeting the other volunteers! Overall I had a 10/10 time, thank you for having me ♥️

The hostel was always very clean and enjoyable, most of the staff were friendly, Orianna was also very receptive and kind. The work was pretty straightforward, defined work hours, although I'd stay a little more than my time to finish what I had to do because the work was demanding, as said in the description. Keep in mind that you might be placed to work in one of the other two hotels they have instead of the hostel, and I worked for BHB which is half a square away. The bed was comfortable, but the room only had a small window which didn't get much of natural light. Great experience to learn!

The hostel is well located and maintained, and the work is organised. I helped with cleaning & housekeeping from 6pm-11pm, 5 days a week. The tasks might seem overwhelming at the start but soon you'll find a rhythm! Catalina was incredibly helpful as well and made the work enjoyable ❤️ The reason for 4 stars is that I was expecting more collaboration or social activities between volunteers but that didn't exist: your shift is your shift alone. There was also an initial hiccup with the allocated room but a big thank you to Loreen for instantly accommodating my request.

Hola Rati, muchas gracias por tu comentario. Lamentamos que no hayas podido compartir como esperabas con los otros voluntarios. Normalmente siempre comparten la misma habitación pero como pediste el cambio a otra habitación es normal que no compartas tanto. Ten en cuenta que los voluntarios cambian cada mes y pueden haber chicos mas sociables o chicos mas tranquilos.
Te deseamos lo mejor y gracias por tu ayuda y buena onda :)

Loreen and all the staff at the hostel made me feel incredibly welcomed. The communal living spaces allows you to make many connections with other international travelers. Loreen is very accommodating with time off so I was able to explore places outside of Santiago. I would definitely recommend this place to others looking to volunteer at a hostel in Santiago!

This was my first worldpackers experience. I worked at the bar as a game organizer. Loreen gave me the freedom and space for me to do my thing. The work was simple and the hours where good. You work from tuesday - saturday from 18.00 to 23.00. The experience overall has been great! I have met many amazing people and discover a social side of me that I never knew was there. Thanks to Loreen and the staff for having me and giving me such a good time!

It was my first volunteering experience and I don't think I could have chosen a better place! I felt at home very quickly, I developed social skills I didn't even know I had, I danced, I smiled, I cried, I got sick, I dreamed... I felt alive! All the people, whether guests, staff or other volunteers, are incredible and, believe me, you'll find a family here. Also, a highlight for Loreen who was an incredible host and super understanding as I was working too. Finally, sentirei saudade, and thank you for the love and kindness I've received (and a special hug for Luck).
