My experience at the hostel was wonderful, I already miss the place and the team! The hours are as described, the hostel and volunteer room are so comfortable and well-maintained, the food is amazing, and the staff are the best!! I made great friends during my time there and San Cristobal has to be my favourite part of Mexico so far, which is saying a lot because I loved Mexico! Couldn't recommend more, determined to come back one day! <3

It's a great hostel to volunteer in San Cristobal! The staffs are awesome, guests are nice and the food is great. It's a big and very social hostel and there's lots of things going on and it's fun. I enjoyed the activities, the city is beautiful and the surrounding nature is wonderful.

It was a very good experiencie here, good people to meet and enjoy with. The hostel is very lively, but at the moment it is quieter as it is the low season.

Wow, what a hostel! the hostel really is such a gem and one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at, and it was so lovely to volunteer here. I think the work hours are very fair and the staff always respected when it was the end of my shift. The shifts are organised very well and shared fairly between all the volunteers. The staff were so helpful and welcoming and fun! Work hardly even felt like work because everybody was so kind and lovely to spend time with. The hostel offers a lot (free breakfast and dinner plus daily activities) which made it super social! All my love and thanks!!

I have been traveling for 3 years now but I have never been a volunteer. I always had an idea. How to be a good person for this type of activity, how to help and communicate with people and Yes I did it for five stars. I was praised by all the staff about the audience and people and tourists everyone liked that I made my efforts. I was really happy about it and lived the life of the hostel. I liked to do all the activities. There you need to be kind, sociable and smart, so I was able to get along with everyone. The work at the reception and the kitchen is not difficult. Even am newbie person.
