Hacer mi voluntariado para el Hotel el hostel fue de las mejores experiencias que he tenido en Colombia. Debo resumir en muy pocas palabras mi experiencia y agradecer al administrador del hostelero. Aprendí acerca de la administración y la recepción del hostel con apoyo de mis compañeros del hotel, el trato fue siempre muy respetuoso y se cumplió todo lo pactado antes de realizar el voluntariado. Mi habitación el desayuno las instalaciones muy organizadas y limpias. Practiqué mi Francés, inglés y por supuesto el español, aprendí a manejar programas para reserva de las habitaciones. Gracias 🫶🏼

La administración del hostal es muy organizada, Diego siempre está muy pendiente de todo. Su ubicación en la bahía del centro histórico permite salir con facilidad a los puntos turísticos de Santa Marta y el hostal es muy lindo y cómodo. Muy agradecida con Diego y con todo el staff por hacerme sentir en casa!

The hostel es un Hostel muy bonito que queda en una zona céntrica, súper cerca de la playa, con piscina y varias comodidades que lo hacen un lugar tranquilo para hacer el voluntariado, las tareas son sencillas. El voluntariado consta de solo turno de recepción. A veces los turnos se hacen un poco largos, pero la gran ventaja es que uno tiene casi 4 días libres, lo cual es buenísimo. Recomiendo esta experiencia si lo que se busca es tener bastante tiempo libre para salir y conocer los lugares. Muchas Gracias Diego por la oportunidad, confianza, y predisposición para todo! Sin dudas volveré 🎉☺️
