It was an incredible first experience volunteering. Jericó is such a beautiful town and I met amazing people there. John and Mariana gave us a warm welcome and farewell, they were always willing to listen to what volunteers needed or recommended about the hostel.

Mariana and John were a pleasure to work with during my stay. The atmosphere was always very relaxing and they never asked too much of me. A very kind couple with a real passion for what they do. Gracias por todo!

It was very happy to have Ed with us, his attitude is ideal for a volunteer at the hostel. He quickly understood the dynamics of the place and even offered to do tasks that he considered necessary. We wanted to adopt him :) Thanks for choosing us in your volunteer experience.

This experience was so wonderful! Mariana and John are very kind and helpful people, both in the tasks expected and everything beyond. The little town of Jericó is a magical place filled with generous people and surrounded by tons of beautiful nature. I always felt welcome and valued at the hostel and I would definitely recommend this experience :)

El hostel es un lindo y calido lugar donde hacer familia, aprender de los viajeros y adentrarse a conocer un pueblo lleno de rincones bonitos y mucha magia. el hostel es precioso y con mucha luz. Las tareas son sencillas y con un poco de musica se hacen rapido y con amor. Mariana y Jon son dulces, amorosos, respetuosos, divertidos y responsables. Aprendí de ellos sobre la humildad, el compañerismo, el respeto, la confianza y tambien sobre los patacones, las arepas, los eteeernos bananos... Y los mas bonito fueron todas las risas espontaneas y verdaderas que compartimos. Les amo parseros♥

Fue mi primera vez haciendo un voluntariado y estoy muy feliz de haber escogido the hostel de the hostel ya que fue una experiencia muy buena. La tareas eran fáciles y claras, la comunicación con Jhon y Mariana (los host) fue buena y eran flexibles con los turnos, a demás tienes tiempo suficiente para conocer el pueblo que es maravilloso. Definitivamente recomendaría esta experiencia :D
