I had an incredible time volunteering at the hostel. Las Galeras is a small lovely town full of most wonderful paradise beaches. It's a peaceful place where you can take things slow and relax. The job is truly simple and light. Luca, the owner and supervisor is so understanding, flexible and patient. The work leaves you plenty of time to hang out and interact with the guests. The hostel itself is a nice space with a ping pong table and fussbol where the atmosphere is relaxed and everyone enjoys free time together. Volunteers stay in a room that is just a 2min walk away. Thank you Luca!

This was a great volunteer experience, especially being within walking distance to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Small town vibe with local shops and restaurants nearby. Luca and the other volunteers were very passionate and impactful to the cause. They made me feel welcomed from start to finish. The tasks and schedule was clearly defined from the beginning. Keep in mind Las Galeras is tropical so bring insect repellent and sunscreen for a more comfortable nights rest. Finally, Luca cares passionately about his mother, it made me think of how much I love my mother as well.

Luca es una persona muy amable, con una energía increíble, que hace que el voluntariado sea mucho más agradable. El hostel es un espacio muy acogedor y las tareas son sencillas. Es importante que el voluntario tenga proactividad, ya que Luca no siempre tendrá tiempo de enumerar todas las tareas. ¡Espero volver algún día!

Esta fue la segunda vez que elegí el hostel como mi casa en Las Galeras, y lo volvería a elegir. Las tareas son sencillas de aprender y hacer, se respetan los horarios y los días libres. Se suelen armar buenos equipos de voluntarios y el dueño siempre está predispuesto a ayudar y solucionar. Los turistas son de distintas partes del mundo, y la gente local es muy cálida, se puede conocer mucho de la cultura del país. Las playas cercanas son el paraíso.

Mi paso por el hostal ha sido inolvidable, me gustó tanto la experiencia que terminé extendiendo mi estancia. Luca es una persona muy flexible y no tiene problema en ayudarte si lo necesitas, tiene un gran corazón. Fui en temporada baja por lo que no había mucho trabajo, y las tareas eran sencillas. El único inconveniente que mencionaría es que cocinar puede llegar a ser incómodo. Las playas están cerca y son increíbles, el pueblo es un lugar tranquilo y seguro y su gente muy bella, lo recomiendo al 100% Sin duda repetiría, gracias por todo 💜
