The living situation was far from what I expected, very crowded and farther away from the hostel then originally communicated. Everything else was fine but unfortunately this opportunity did not work out for me. The owner of the hostal was not willing to hear an explanation from me on why I had missed a shift and simply "fired" me. Which is understandable but I did not feel like I had the chance to be a part of the team. It also seemed in the short time I was there that the volunteers would work longer than there shift quite frequently.

Hola, como estas? Con respecto al lugar donde se quedan los chicos se habia comunicado previemente antes de la llegada. Yo en eso soy muy preciso al momento de comunicarlo previamente a la llegada de un voluntario. Los chicos si se quedan mas tiempo es por su desicion, a veces se quedan mas porque arreglan entre ellos o simplemente porque disfrutan estar en el hostel. De todas formas intente comunicarme ese dia con vos para saber que habia sucedido ( y tus compañeros tambien) pero nunca pudimos hacerlo. Nosotros tomamos todas las experiencias como suma para mejorar en todo sentido y si tu experiencia no fue muy buena o no fue lo esperado, trataremos desde el Hostel en mejorar pero tambien esperamos que te sirva a vos como experiencia para otras oportunidades. Mucha suerte en tu camino!!

Flor and Pablo make you feel part of their family from the start, it feels like you always knew each other and not like a newcomer.Their daughter Emma is always curious to get to know the volunteers and blas is always a fun soul to hang around and watch him talk trough dance. Workwise, you rarely work alone, the tasks are simple from making bread and jams to check ins/outs. Every week or so there's an asado accompanied by a guitar. If you're vegan, Pablo will surprise you with some tasty meals. I stayed for 1 month and would definitely extend if I had the time. #achalayesfamilia

My stay in the hostel is such a memorable experience! Everything described on the worldpackers page was followed and provided. The owners are very hospitable and I as volunteer had a lot of free time to explore the city and its surroundings. I enjoyed learning about the hostels work, share meals, prepare food for breakfast and socialize with the guests. The hostel is in the center and has everything you need. If you go to Bariloche, only the hostel!

At first I was a little nervous cause it was going to be my first experience volunteering in a hostel and it exceeded my expectations. Pablo the owner and his wife treated me like family, they made feel like home. I was taught everything I needed to know about reception, I learned how to make the bread and jams for breakfast cause the goal of this hostel is to make feel the guests like home. Pablo gave me and my coworkers the trust to run his hostel during our shifts and I discovered my passion about cooking. I've made friends that will last forever. So THANKS PABLO.

Being a volunteer in the hostel is honestly a great experience! I'm staying longer than my plan due to the nice enviroment, the people and the place itself. Pablo and Florencia really make us feel like part of this home that the hostel is. As a volunteer I'm working as the ad said, 32 hours a week in the recepcionist, welcoming the guest, preparing bread for breakfast, making sure everything in the hostel is working propertly, and of course, having fun!! Sometimes we prepare dinners for guest and staff, we cook together, share some asado and participate in tours. Its GREAT!
