This was an incredibly rewarding experience! Bucaramanga is warm and steady — a place you could easily call home. The hostel and adjoining café are well-managed, and the staff are welcoming, offering a great chance to build friendships and practice Spanish daily. Shifts are balanced, allowing time to explore. The location is ideal: walkable to bars and eateries, and close to natural attractions like canyons and San Gil for rafting and bungee jumping. Excited to see how the project grows in the years to come!

It was my first experience and I really felt like at home. The owners and the staff of the place are amazing people. They were so nice people, they behaved me like a member of the family. I felt so comfortable there that I wanted to work more. And I will definitely try to find a chance to work with them again in the future. I met many people over there and made many friends over there that I am still in touch. I totally recommend. Thank you so much for everything, I am missing that place everyday. Sahin

Fue una gran experiencia contar con Sahin, a pesar de ser su primer voluntariado, se desenvolvió muy bien, entendió rápidamente sus actividades a realizar y las desarrolló muy bien, con excelente actitud y muy buena vibra. Esperamos que pueda volver muy pronto a Zamia!

Overall, I highly recommend this experience, but ONLY if you speak/understand some Spanish. The post about the experience says intermediate English OR beginner Spanish, but I really do think you need some knowledge of the language because all of the tasks will be explained to you in Spanish and your colleagues mostly only speak Spanish. I think I would have enjoyed my stay even more if I would have been able to communicate better with the staff from the hostel and the coffee shop adjoined to the hostel, but then again, everyone is very nice and helpful.

The hostel is an incredible hostel with beautiful and spotless facilities, located in the best area of the city, there are plenty of things to do around, lots of parks, restaurants and bars. The tasks are exactly as described so you do not have to worry about doing anything that you were not taught to do. You can feel the support from the host all the time since they always help you with anything, my experience could not be better, thanks a lot to the staff.

It was my first volunteering experience, and during my first solo shift, I made minor mistakes and received accusatory and aggressive messages on the WhatsApp group, leaving me embarrassed. The errors weren't significant and could have been resolved with a more constructive and friendly conversation instead of an accusatory approach. We tried to address these concerns with the hosts, but the group atmosphere didn't improve. When a volunteer expressed discomfort with the group's tone, she was asked to leave and faced attacks and comments from the owner. And the actual workload was 25h/week.

Lamentablemente coincidiste en tu experiencia con Wilma, desafortunadamente esto causó una gran crisis en el ambiente de todos los voluntarios que estaban junto a ella. Estoy seguro que no hubiera ocurrido el problema si Wilma no hubiera coincidido contigo, te hubieras llevado una experiencia excepcional en todos los sentidos. Es la primera vez que ocurre algo así y nunca habíamos tenido una situación como esta, que lástima que te hayas dejado llevar por los comentarios de ella. Si, entre otras cosas se les dejó claro las horas ya que en la descripción de la posición lo dice muy claramente, cosa que también no mencionaste y es que nunca cumpliste las 25hrs siempre estuviste por debajo de este tiempo… Eres una gran voluntaria y una buena persona, pero vuelvo y repito estuviste en el momento equivocado con la persona equivocada.

I really enjoyed my time at the hostel. it was my first volunteering experience and i couldnt recommend it enough. Because you work at night your will have the whole day to enjoy Bucaramanga and go out with the people you meet at the hostel. The tasks where also pretty easy and didn't really feel like work. Thank you to all the people working at the hostel for the awsome experience and for making me feel at home!
