Working in this hostel is an unforgettable experience that I can recommend to everyone. The whole team is amazing and from day one you will feel like part of a big family. I stayed for three weeks in the hostel and worked in the reception. It helped me a lot to improve my Spanish and also to connect with other volunteers and international travellers. I am super grateful to have lived this amazing experience and to have been part of the amazing team!

Volunteering at the hostel is an experience I'll never forget. I spent a month as a bar assistant, helping the bartenders and learning how to make the drinks we served. The work was great, but what made it special was the people. In just one month, I felt like I was leaving behind some of my best friends. By the second day, it already felt like family. Thank you to everyone on the team for making me feel so welcome in a country where I started out knowing no one. This place now holds a part of my heart.

My staying at the hostel was absolutely amazing. Great if you'd like to practice Spanish, because besides the international travellers that mainly speak English, a lot of locals go to the bar as well. I worked at the bar at the beginning and I didn't know much but they helped me with everything even with a language barrier. Luis and Cesar were really nice to me. After a while I became a party host and my boss Ale was absolutely amazing, she is really a perfectionist and has attention to details so organising everything with her and seeing the results was awesome. I already miss it.

The hostel is a big amazing family, I had the best time of my life there. Being a party promoter is a lifestyle and when you doing it well the people will recognise it and appreciate it, as in my case. I didn't have any problem to become friend of everyone of the staff, from the amazing bosses Malù and Ale, to the bar and reception staff. I will miss that place like I miss my home everytime I leave. I want to thank all of you guys to become my really good friends and made me spend the best time in Lima, the best parties and had the best laugh ever. Love you all ❤️

Jason has been an exemplary volunteer and a great party promoter.
His commitment to the guests, his willingness to learn, and his kindness allowed him to do his job incredibly well.
He has become part of the Black Llama family and will always be welcomed.
Thank you for the experience and your professionalism throughout. We hope you continue to shine and travel the world!

Thanks for everything.

I loved my stay at the hostel. Alessandra and Gisela were so welcoming and all the staff members were warm and genuine. I worked at the bar and learned how to make some cocktails. This is a great place to meet locals and other backpackers, and helped me a lot with learning Spanish. I'll miss you guys!! Thank you so much Malú ♥️♥️

Wow. the hostel is such a magical and special place! From immediately arriving, Malu and the team all welcomed me with open arms. I truly felt like I was part of the staff family and the position was super fun! I highly recommend volunteering here. It was the best experience I could have had and I will miss everyone there significantly. If you're considering volunteering at the hostel, do it. You won't regret it!!
