This was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't have gone better, Valladolid is a quiet, but lovely town with amazing food, I felt very safe too. The work in the hostel was light and very relaxed, just keeping general maintenance of the hostel etc. Wilo, the host, could not have been more hospitable. He really looked after the volunteers, always wanting to make us comfortable, bringing us food, or giving us lifts etc. There was a wide variety of nationalities, and I also made 2 best friends here! <3 The bedroom was comfortable and the lockers are also spacious. I reccomend this 100%

I really loved my stay in the hostel, the hostal is super welcoming and friendly, you feel at ease straight away Wilo is really lovely, he does everything to make you feel at home and he's super accommodating with the volunteers. the tasks are easy to understand and correspond to what's described, plus you don't really feel like you're working, but rather helping out and having fun at the same time Thanks again Wilo :))

I had the best 3 weeks at Wilo's place. Wilo as a person is one of the most kind, atentive people, he really made sure the volunteers always were comfortable, giving us great tips and a ride when needed. The work was very chill, mostly recieving guests, light cleaning and socializing. Valladolid is a cozy and safe town, always felt comfortable walking alone at all hours. The cenotes in the area are beautiful, the bikes and scooters we got to borrow were helpful. Lastly I have to thank the other volunteers I stayed with, those girls really became some of my closest friends<3. Hope to come back!

I stayed in the hostel for two weeks and I think Valladolid is a good place if you are looking to experience real Mexico and chill. It is a really small city and a small hostel so you will have a lot of time for yourself.

I really loved my time at Guacamyas! Wilo (The owner) is just amazing, he does everything to make you feel at home. He spends a lot of time with the volunteers, taking the time to advise us on things to do in the city. He cares about everyone's well-being. We can feel that he opened a hostel out of passion and that he loves to interact and exchange with everyone.

This was my first volunteering experience and overall it was great! I met a lot of people, explored the area, and the work was simple and easy to learn. However, posing in a swimsuit was an unexpected—and for me, uncomfortable—part of the job, which had not been mentioned in the description. I ended up going through with it because I felt responsible for having committed to the team. That said, I believe clearer descriptions of tasks are important to avoid surprises. If modeling isn't an issue for you, it's a fun place with great vibes and I definitely recommend the experience!!

During my time at the hostel I got to meet travellers from all around the world. There wasn't much for me to do during my working hours as I worked 7pm till midnight. Wilo did ask for some new signs to be painted for the hostal which was fun and enjoyable. Valladolid is beautiful and I always felt safe around here. The Cenotes were amazing and I would fully recommend visiting them. Wilo is a great guy but I wish we were able to spend more time together during my stay. He was always available to message if needed and always helped us out if needed.

Wilo is a good guy, lovely to chat to and full of knowledge about Valladolid. Unfortunately we didnt get see Wilo much due to his other commitments, so we worked alone. The work was pretty simple working the reception, it was only difficult answering the phone as my spanish is limited. Travelling as a couple, it would have been nice to be able to work together, however due to there only being 2 of us volunteers & 1 staff member, we had to work separate hours. 2-7 and 7-12. We stayed in the dorm with double beds, these were not so comfy. The kitchen is very basic, only a gas cooker to cook.

Mi experiencia en el hostel fue muy tranqui. No había muchas huéspedes y por eso no había mucha que hacer. Pero fui muy bien recibido por Willo quien me respetó y me dejó a hacer lo que quería por la mayoría. Lo recomiendo esa experiencia para parejas, personas que trabajar en línea, o aquellos que quieren un poquito de paz en un pueblo lindo.
