Working with Máximo was great, he is caring, hospitable, flexible and keen to ensure you have a great stay, each day he brings you different authentic traditional food from Ariquepa to try. He even took me on a few tours on his motorbike around the city. This was a great time to rest and relax, with a private room, I felt I could slow down and reset. However, with it being listed as a hostel, I found it slightly misleading as I was hoping to meet other young people and volunteers to socialise with. But this was not the case, it is more like a hotel and I was the only one volunteer

Working at the hostel with Maximo was a great first Worldpackers experience :) the tasks set were fair and doable and he respected the hours agreed to work. Every day he brings a different lunch to try which is great ! His English is great and he really wants the experience to be mutually beneficial for both parties. It was great to meet people staying at the hostel and working with other volunteers, and I would recommend Maximo's opportunity to others

It's easy to tell that Maximo truly cares about the volunteers who come and stay at his hostel. He provides everything agreed upon in the profile, and the work is quite simple and doable. The Hostel is in a great location, very near lots of shops and not far at all from the main Plaza of Arequipa. For breakfast and dinner there is food in the kitchen that you can help yourself to, and for lunch Maximo goes out and brings back a new dish everyday. A great way to try the local foods, all the lunches I had were delicious!!

Max is one of the best hosts I've ever had in WorldPackers. He made great efforts to make me feel at home, really cared about introducing me to the local cuisine and ensured I enjoyed everything Arequipa had to offer. He's a great communicator, tasks are easy and expectations are always set and met. I can't recommend it enough ☺️

I had a lovely time in Arequipa! I really enjoyed spending time with the other volunteers with me. I would definitely recommend having a solid foundation in Spanish, and it really was a good learning experience as well. Maximo is very accommodating and willing to help if you ask. I met so many great people!!

I enjoyed volunteering at the hostel! Max is a very kind and helpful host. During my stay I helped with the laundry and a little bit with the reception. Max showed me around in Arequipa to try delicious food and to visit some viewpoints. I definitely recommend volunteering if you want to practice your Spanish.

The job on here says you'll be cooking but the job is helping with laundry service. Its easy and work hours are respected. He provides you with food but if you want to eat proper meals, send him a list of foods you want or you'll be provided with mostly grains to eat. Maximo is kind and showed me around the city and helped me with whatever I needed. It was a good experience for me to practice my spanish.

I had a very good time at the hostel. Maximo is an amazing person, who truly cares about you and that your experience is as good as possible. I really appreciate Max showing me around town and having me try all the local cuisine. The tasks were simple and easy hours. I did wish there would be more people to socialise with; the hostel is quiet and if you don't know people in town it's not so easy to meet fellow travelers. However, I'm very happy with my experience! Muchas gracias Max por todo!!
