I was extremely disappointed with my experience. Nothing was as advertised in the job spec, and there was effectively no communication from the host. It was advertised on the job spec that I was to just do social media promotion through photography and videography. However the manager at the hostel explained this was only a small part of the job and I was expected to clean beds and help make meals for guests. The main incentives that were offered in the job spec also didn't exist. Like free hiking tours and discounted tours. I travelled 4200km to get here and even came early at their req

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience did not meet your expectations, and we were also disappointed with how the situation unfolded. Our volunteer program includes social media tasks along with helping in daily operations like cleaning and guest assistance, which was clarified on arrival. We understand you expressed that you did not want to help with these tasks as you did not feel it was your role, mentioning you were well-off back home.

Mi experiencia fue muy grata, desde mi llegada me sentí como en casa, el lugar es hermoso tiene vista directa al camping, rodeado de montañas y lindos animales, con relación al voluntariado mis tareas siempre fueron claras, se respetaron los horarios, el lugar de descanso para los voluntarios es muy cómodo y el trato siempre es amable... Recomiendo 💯

Mi experiencia fue muy grata, el lugar es hermoso, rodeado de montañas, con una vista hermosa del nevado, lindos animales ( alpacas y ovejas). Con relación al voluntariado las labores son sencillas, las instrucciones claras, se respetan los días libres, el personal es muy amable y el lugar de descanso es una habitación que comparten con un voluntario más. Fueron 2 semanas muy agradables, agradezco mucho la cordialidad.

Fue una experiencia enriquecedora, Neiser y Manuel son personas muy amables y serviciales. Aprendí con ellos algo de la cocina ecuatoriana, además, tuve la oportunidad, en mis días de descanso, de hacer varias rutas por el volcán the camping y sus alrededores, conocí gente local y otros voluntarios, con quienes compartí buenos momentos y algunas caminatas. Por eso y mucho más, agradezco y los recomiendo un 100 %. ¡Gracias y hasta pronto!
