The hostel was the place I was looking for. That was my first experience as a volunteer and I highly recommend it! The crew were all friendly and helpful! It is a great place to practice your Spanish and get to know locals. It is the main reason I had a great time in Cartagena!!

This was my first volunteering through Worldpackers and it was amazing! At first, I worked at the reception but then I changed for breakfast and that wasn't a problem for me. I loved doing this role. The hostel is perfectly located close to the beautiful "historical center of Cartagena", it has a good vibe and excellent facilities. I met so many amazing people during my stay and the time went past flying so fast. Thanks Santuário for the opportunity!

The best decision I could have made was to volunteer at Santuário Hostel. The hostel accommodations are very good, the work is easy, I usually worked the night shifts and I really liked it. The whole team is amazing, I made lifelong friendships for sure. Also, I fell in love with Cartagena. I highly recommend! And I already miss my the hostel family ❤️
