The hostel has been a home since day one! It's a very social place where you can meet people from everywhere, the staff is very welcoming and very friendly they are your the hostel Familia!! The location is perfect very close from la Placita and the bars, and also from old San Juan. There are a lot of activities to do, you can either join a group from the hostel or join tours. The workload is fair, there is always something to do during your shift or projects to work on! Overall, I had SOO much fun and I would definitely recommend to stay longer than a month!!

I genuinely can't recommend this experience enough! The other staff / managers are amazing people and it really did feel like a small family. The hostel is very sociable and you'll meet plenty of people. There's a great vibe between guests and staff, whether it's organising trips around the island or nights out. Puerto Rico is an incredible place with a vibrant culture and welcoming locals. The work at the hostel is very fair and the benefits offered to staff are generous. As long as you're ok with shared living spaces, accommodations are clean and comfortable. I will miss it here a lot!

Michelle was an absolute pleasure to host. She quickly pick-up tasks and consistently delivered above expectations. Social and out going, as well as personable and kind to both guests and staff. We would warmly welcome Michelle back if she decides to come back to Puerto Rico!

Staying at the hostel was a great summer experience. San Juan has a lot to offer. I met 200+ travelers from all over the world, practiced speaking Spanish with locals, and spent a lot of time at the beach. Living in a shared space for an extended period of time was an adjustment for me, but the living arrangements are comfortable. You have to save money ahead of time to make this type of exchange work, but it's way more manageable having a free place to stay. Charles was kind and accommodating throughout my stay. Check it out.

From the moment I arrived at the hostel, the owner Charles and the entire staff welcomed me with open arms, and exuded warmth, thoughtfulness, and kindness throughout my entire stay. Charles's genuine concern for the well-being and happiness of each co-host was evident from the start, and it made all the difference in creating a safe, comfortable, and incredibly enjoyable environment for all of us. If you're considering a work stay program I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

I volunteered here for 6 weeks and it was fantastic - I actually signed up to volunteer a second time! Absolutely loved it, could not recommend more, the hostel is a family and awesome place to work & stay. Highlights:Tons of free time, super kind & fun staff, great hostel that's clean and provides breakfast, balanced work, great location, social hostel with cool guests. Not Bad but Worth Knowing: You can hear La Placita from the hostel most nights. Work shifts are pretty filled with tasks but it's not stressful - it's completely doable and staff is super supportive.

The hostel is a great choice for people looking to da work trade for the first time. Super fun social environment and walking distance from nightlife, beaches, and grocery stores.

This was my first worldpackers experience, and I loved it! It was incredible to meet amazing people everyday and explore San Juan and at times the island. My group of co-hosts and the hosts were amazing and truly made it feel like home. The tasks are rather simple, but it can be very busy and at times a bit overwhelming especially in the busy season. This has been life changing for me and I can definitely recommend it to everyone :)

I had a wonderful time volunteering at the hostel. For me it was the first time volunteering at a hostel and I didn't know what to expect but everything was perfect and exceeded my expectations. I had a lovely team of co-hosts around me, had so much fun with the other guests and also the pets made it feel like a real home. The work is pretty easy, there is a lot of time for the tasks you need to do. It is very nice that you work in shifts of 8 hours, as this gives you a lot of free time during the week to explore the island. The hostel itself is conveniently located, everything is nearby!

Volunteering at the hostel is an incredible experience. Work expectations are very clear and the social environment is amazing. I met many incredible people and built close friendships with many of the other staff members that I have kept up with. There are inevitable challenges when you stick 6 adults in a shared room for a month or more, but it is a learning experience and challenges you to communicate clearly . I 100% recommend this experience for anyone looking to grow their social skills, build meaningful connections, and experience intimately Puerto Rican culture.

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The hostel is in a great location, close to bars, restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. There is a fun vibe and I met many wonderful people from all over the world. The schedule, working three days a week on an 8 hours shift with four days off, allowed me to have enough time to explore the island. Charles is a great host, flexible if any change was needed and always available to help. It was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers and I couldn't have had a better experience. I truly felt like it was home.
