Santi and Juan created such a great space both for volunteering and for the guests. They are super clear and communicative, and the tasks are really straightforward. It was super great to work with other volunteers at the same time, and I am so glad this was my first volunteer experience.

I originally applied for two weeks, agreed on three, and stayed almost four — that's how much I loved volunteering here. It was my first solo trip, first time volunteering, and first hostel stay. The owners, Santi and Juan, are respectful, clear, and great at communicating. Shifts and hours are fair, and the reception work is simple, well-explained, and enjoyable. I learned useful hospitality skills and got to meet incredible people in a warm, social environment. It's a great place to connect, and the owners are always making thoughtful improvements to the hostel. Highly recommend!

My experience at the hostel was really good! From day one, Juan and Santi were extremely welcoming, doing everything they could to make me feel at home. They are present, approachable hosts, always willing to help. Communication was clear and respectful at all times, as were the agreed schedules. The work is light and well organized. The hostel's location is excellent, close to everything, and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The other volunteers and guests made the experience even richer, there were always group activities, which created a constant sense of unity and fun.

I'm so grateful for the experience I had at IIVero hostel! You meet many people from all around the world and do lots of things together as the hostel is very social. Also, the hosts Juan and Santi are super nice and respect the working hours. If you're thinking about volunteering there, I'd say do it!

The hostel totally feels like a big shared flat with a lot of housemates. It's so easy to get to know new people and have fun! Every week spent there felt like a month for the amount of experiences I was lucky to have and I bring all the team and the guests met in my heart <3 Don't think it twice and book that flight for Buenos Aires, I truly had the most amazing experience of my life.

It's the start of something truly great, there at Il Vero. This hostel has just been taken over by two new owners. These new owners are wonderful people who really care about the hostel and the home-away-from-home community that they are building - just wait until you see : ) They are travelers themselves, so they have an excellent and well-informed vision. The hostel itself is a really sweet old corner building with a very classy vintage front door and a nice open rooftop in a cozy neighborhood (with the best gelato only a couple blocks away). I felt like I lived in Buenos Aires these weeks !

I spent a month at the hostel. The owners Juan and Santi were kind and friendly to volunteer alongside. They made sure to make all the volunteers feel welcome and included. There were various tasks involved including: reception, day/night social activities with the guests, cleaning, and night shifts. They were sure to answer and action any change suggested by the volunteers. I would recommend this experience to anyone and look back at my time with good memories.

My experience at Il Vero Hostel was wonderful, the hostel is a great place, it's very huge and I felt like at home. Eugenia and Leonard are really great people. Contrary to the description, there is not free laundry in the hostel. It was an opportunity to meet local people and learn new skills.

Fue un gusto conocerte Anthony, gracias por tu iniciativa y aporte a las tareas asignadas, fue un placer compartir excelentes temas de conversación. Siempre bienvenido cuando quieras, lamentablemente en el tiempo de tu voluntariado el lavarropas estuvo dañado, pero próximamente lo volvemos a incorporar. Muchas gracias por todo y mucho éxito.

Being a Volunteer at the hostel was a great experience for me! Eugenia and all the team are amazing, it really feels like a family atmosphere :) It was also a perfect opportunity for me to meet other travellers from everywhere, so I could improve my Spanish at the same time. I couldn't have found a better place to start my journey around Argentina!! :)

I feel there's a lack of leadership from the host. The first day I was asked to clean even when I applied specifically for the reception position, because there was not enough people covering those tasks (which are all volunteer positions). Beds are really uncomfortable, not only for guests but for volunteers too, it feels like mattresses haven't been changed for a long time. There's no air conditioning, meaning during the night when windows need to be closed, it's extremely difficult to sleep.

Comprendemos tu incomodidad de no tener aire acondicionado, pero contamos con ventiladores.
Que bueno que me das la oportunidad de mencionar tu desempeño como voluntaria en Ilvero hostel, cabe destacar que obviamente esta es una página de voluntarios y por ende es un VOLUNTARIADO.
1. Llego al voluntariado en la fecha acordada, pero dejo sus cosas y se fue y volvió al dia siguiente (1er incumplimiento)
2. Trajo a su pareja como huésped, lo que llevo a cabo la interrupción constante en su labor de recepción en su horario asignado, pasaba más tiempo en el sofá que en la recepción.
3. Se le dio la oportunidad de manejar en horas tranquilas su "trabajo on line" sin que interfiriera en el desempeño de recepción, siempre hubo flexibilidad sin llamado de atención.
4. Nos pidió oportunidad para su pareja de que hiciera voluntariado porque estaban cortos de dinero (no fue un buen desempeño, ella le hacia el trabajo al chico)
5. Todo el equipo le dio un gran apoyo en un momento crítico de salud, llamando a médicos, ambulancias etc.
6. Siempre estamos abiertos al diálogo por cualquier eventualidad o incomodidad no solo con los voluntarios sino con los huéspedes en general, te recomiendo si vuelves a tener otra "experiencia similar" en otro voluntariado te comuniques de manera efectiva y ver que solución te pueden dar o de estar muy incómoda podías hacer la cancelación del voluntariado sin problema, de igual forma te deseamos mucho éxito de parte del equipo de ilvero.
