Hostel “the hostel” in the hostel, Buenos Aires, felt like home. I planned to stay a month but stayed three! The location is perfect, near the beautiful the hostel Cemetery. Volunteering here, making breakfasts with medialunas, and meeting amazing people made it unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I loved my stay at the hostel. Great location with very friendly staff. The living spaces are clean and I always had access to new bedding. The hours are decent but be prepared to work night shifts that last into the morning. Everybody I met was very welcoming and the tasks are straight forward, the only area of improvement I would suggest for the hostel is to encourage punctuality within the team :) Nonetheless, if I could do it again I would! 🫶✨

I had a really great time at the hostel but the work was not my favorite. The night shifts were very tiring and for the cleaning shifts expect to be cleaning bathrooms, showers, etc. However aside from the work, I had a great time with the others volunteers and guests in the hostel, and Belen the manager was also really great! Good experience for meeting people but tasks definitely take a toll.

The experience of the hostel was ok. Actually I had a great time during my stay there but that was because of the other volunteers and guests and friendships we made along the way. Don't expect a real "family" vibe from the paid staff, but if you are lucky like me you will have great people to volunteer with which would make it all worth it.

I had a great time at the hostel hostal! At first I had to get used to the night shifts, but after a while I was able to thrive on them. After a month of volunteering at the hostel, it was very tempting to stay longer because the place, the people and the city felt like a second home. All the hostel staff contributed to this feeling, especially Belen, who really did an effort to make me feel comfortable and showed me the most delicious Argentine sweets. Also, a big shout-out to the other volunteers who became good friends and with whom I got to share a great time. Hasta Luego P's!
