AWESOME. That is the word that I would use for this experience. Everything was great. Juli and Liz are excellent people who are always willing to help you. They are polite, friendly, and diligent. I like the fact that my duties were clearly stated and communication was clear, so I never had any issues with anything. I really recommend this experience.

I really enjoyed my time at the hostel! The work was exactly as described and the small staff was very nice. It is not a super big hostel, which is totally fine! You just get lots of free time to explore the city and do lots of fun day trips. Enjoy this cultural and less touristic city!

Thank you so much for your lovely words! We’re really glad you enjoyed your time at De Requka. It was a pleasure having you with us! We agree—Pereira is such a great place to explore at a slower pace, and we’re happy you made the most of it. Safe travels and you’re always welcome back anytime!

I spent three weeks volunteering at this hostel, and while it's clean and spacious, the lack of atmosphere made it difficult to carry out some of my tasks. The place was very quiet, and I didn't meet anyone interesting. I also had an unfortunate experience when money was taken from my wallet, and I noticed the owner wearing a mask before I got sick, which made me uneasy. One of the staff members were unfriendly, and the owner was rude, contributing to a negative vibe. The town is dull and feels like a one-night stop rather than a destination. I wouldn't return based on my experience.

I had a great time at the hostel! My tasks included being at the reception and creating social media content mainly for Instagram. The team is very kind and always worried about our well being. Alba took me and the other volunteer to get to know Pereira better one night, and we had a great time together! Lizeth, Marcela and Carolina were also very nice and friendly. The hostel is very beautiful, clean, and a great place to relax and reconnect to yourself. The team was also very kind when I had to leave early due to a personal issue, which I'm very thankful for.

Due to a personal issue I was only able to stay a week at Derequka, nonetheless I experienced nothing but kindness and compassion from the team. The hostel itself is a great location and it's the perfect place if you are looking for peace and quiet.
