The tasks are general cleaning, attending to the reception and at the bar, entertaining people, and a bit of maintenance when needed.

We ask for a minimum of 3 months' commitment and we’re looking for people with good vibes and a good attitude, who like meeting new people and who can speak a bit of Spanish

Activities & Shift

Volunteers should be especially social, dynamic, proactive, and willing to roll with the punches and cover any task necessary to help the team.
A positive and responsible attitude, and the ability to work as a team are a must.

Tasks that volunteers are expected to fulfill with us depend on the specific shift they have, but generally include:
- Must be able to use Whatsapp
- Help checking in and out our guests
- Be capable of cleaning rooms, toilets, changing beds, or anything that may be necessary
- Be able to entertain people, and organize drinking games
- Have experience with customer service
- Multilingual skills are highly valued
- Taking initiatives

Rules

We are NOT a drug-friendly Hostel. Getting shitfaced is A-Ok, but on the legal stuff only. Anyone found with drugs will be asked to leave immediately.

Upon arrival, for security reasons, you will be expected to leave a deposit of either a valid passport or a valid ID and 100 USD (or 2000 pesos). Either of these will be returned to you upon your departure. Our team always feels at home here, so it’s important to everyone that we maintain a safe working and living environment by knowing exactly who is staying with us at all times and discouraging the possibility of anyone making a quick exit with something that isn’t theirs.
