The hostel is very badly organized :( Manager can't lead a group and didn't give clear advice. All in all the worst experience i had

It was a great experience! my first oficial volunteering and it had the best time in my life so far. I could meet people from many different countries, share information and experiences about our self cultures, and having the opportunity to know the world from the guests' life, made me change my perspective. Last but not least, shootout to Cata, the manager of the hostel, a great human being, with a unique energy and perspective, the keystone of the project and the leader of it. Best place in the world!!!

Mi experiencia en el hostel fue muy buena. El resto de voluntarios siempre estuvieron pendientes y el ambiente fue idílico. El administrador, Justo, se mantuvo muy atento a lo que necesitáramos y de ayudarnos siempre. El horario fue muy fácil de llevar y las tareas extremadamente simples. Definitivamente me llevo muy buenos recuerdos de este lugar.
