I had a great time volunteering at the hostel. Santiago the host was extremly welcoming and kind, he made sure all the volunteers needs were met including a comfortable room, hot showers, a kitchen to use, and always offering advice and help when asked! The volunteering shifts were easy and straightforward tasks, all of the agreed hours and days were respected, and all of the team members and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. the hostel is located close to the historic centre in Quito so there is plenty to see and do within walking distance and a perfect place to explore.

My experience was truly great. The hostel is very centrally located, which made everything super convenient. Santi and Marco were always kind and respectful — they're easygoing people and great to be around. The tasks were straightforward and the schedule was fair, giving me plenty of time to explore and enjoy the city. Thank you, Santi! I hope to come back soon :)

I had such an amazing time volunteering at the hostel. Both managers are super nice. One of the co-managers, Santi, is not just your boss, but a friend you can hang out with and depend on. He truly cares about you and your wellbeing. He constantly asked me how I was doing every shift and made me feel comfortable to ask him any questions or ask him for solutions when I was unsure of how to deal with certain situations. The other co-manager, Kat, is very nice and meticulous in the way she communicates and organizes things. Even though she was unwell, she made sure I had everything I needed.

This is a great hostel to meet other travelers and the common spaces are well set up to encourage people to talk and make friends! There are also other volunteers around so in the evenings many people are around watching soccer games or chatting. The owners are fast to communicate when needed and have very sweet dogs that spend time on the terrace for when you need some animal time.

I've had a great time in the hostel. The job was fun (mostly talking to the guests), the staff and the volunteers were amazing from the beginning. Usually there are a lot of volunteers which makes it easy to find like-minded people.

The place is good, it's in the middle of Quito and there's a nice rooftop view. If you like cities you will enjoy. The host, Santiago, is kind. The only thing is that he can be direct about what he thinks. I was traveling with a friend. We had a beer night with the staff and when we went to bed, Santiago texted my friend to tell her that she's hot. Maybe he was too drunk but I think it's disrespectful... So because I don't like being in the middle of a city and the host made us feel weird, we left earlier than expected.

hello, thank you for your comment I guess. In your words you describe the truth. We were having a chat with STAFF and nothing occured after except a comment about tattoes that was interpreted in such a way by "your friend" not even you. The real reason why you left is you didnt like the city and were looking for a reason to not have a penalty by worldpackers or the host.

Was a good experience. Kat is a great person and very understanding. Shifts and volunteer work is easy enough.

There was a problem, a couple of Colombians robbed the Caixa. The owner was very angry and was rude with me. I found it an unpleasant situation, because I was always kind to everyone and performed my duties WELL. In the evening via WhatsApp I asked about the schedule for the week and said that I would like to stay for two more days and leave due to the discomfort I had left.He was indignant and said that I helped the Colombians. It was a shame because it didn't need to end like this. I believe that problems or failures can happen, but with a good conversation everything can be resolved.

You started your shift in the morning and noticed not only that the money was missing but also that the people who took it were gone and DID NOT INFORM ANYTHING until 5 hours later when the manager arrived. Truly unbelievable. The worst is that you were upset because you thougth the manager was rude to you just for asking you why you did not inform. Not only that you can not take responsability for your neglect but also create more problems and false accusations. I would not recommend anyone anywhere to host such an irresponsible and conflictive person as you.
