My experience here was incredible, the facilities are everything you need, the activities you help with are easy and fun, you enjoy doing them. I did 2 tours and had a lot of fun. The hostel staff is wonderful, Eduardo, Teresita, Dayana, Alfa... they are all very friendly and made me feel at home. I definitely recommend this experience 100%, and Valladolid is the best city I have lived in so far. Thank you very much and I hope to see you again. The only thing I regret is having a remote job, since I wasn't able to get to know the city much or spend more time with people I met.

An absolutely fantastic experience staying at the hostel and i wouldn't have traded it for any other. There where however some discrepancies between what whas was agreed upon and what actually was expected og me. As far as i know this has been going on for a while, still no changes has been made. The manager however didn't seem to know about this when i informed him so maybe it will be fixed soon. The main differences where: - You only get 1 day off per week - You're doing tours 0-3 times a week the other days are evening activities Even tho it differed from promise it was well worth it

Hurricane Beryl. I think I should start with the one responsible for not having a good experience I was willing to spend one month in Valladolid but I had to come back earlier. When I arrived in Mexico, there were hardly any clients in the hostel and with the imminent arrival of Hurricane Beryl, all reservations, for the following weeks were canceled. I didn't have the chance to perform any of the tasks I applied for. No clients, no other volunteers and everyone preparing everything for the impact of the hurricane Eduardo is a very nice, kind and friendly person

It was a nice first volunteering experience with Antonio, Eduardo, Theresa and all the staff. Due to low season, the tasks were different from the offer (we also did help with other activities than cenote tours) but they were all fun. The amount of time working in comparison to what you get (accommodation + breakfast) is super fair and makes the stay super pleasant. They welcomed us friendly, we talked about the tasks when arriving and afterwards they were very trustful and we had a lot of freedom. During the time off Valladolid is a well located to see a lot around. So would recommend!

Overall it was a really nice experience meeting & working with Antonio, Eduardo & all the other hostel staff. Everybody was very kind and welcoming. Our tasks differed from helping with a "mayan cooking class", offering a workout & meditation, giving a Bachata Class and giving a Cenote tour once. So it was not only the Cenote Tours as said in the offer but Antonio (the manager) was so friendly to tell us at the beginning and asked if we were okay with that & what else we could and wanted to do/offer. We slept in a regular dorm. Nice location to explore the area. Would definitely recommend!

The hostel is a great place to volunteer at if you're looking for a place with simple hours and cultural immersion. The Mayan culture is extensive in Valladolid and there's so much to do around town. You're not limited to one cenote as a tour, you can expand and find other places to explore with yourself and others.

El hostel es un lugar muy bonito, el hostal y hotel me parecen armoniosos y tradicionales pero también moderno y limpio, el personal también es muy flexible y agradable, la ubicación es perfecta para enamorarse del pueblo mágico. Pude colaborar de diferentes formas tanto sociales y creativas, el anfitrión es una persona que contribuyó a mi creatividad e incrementar mi seguridad para socializar con los extranjeros que visitaban el hotel. Por otra parte, la interacción con el supervisor era muy poca ya que percibí micromachismos, pero él no radica realmente en las instalaciones.

El hostel ha sido una experiencia increible, desde el primer momento Edgar y el equipo nos recibio con mucha amabilidad, en la primera semana nos explicaron con paciencia las actividades que tendriamos que hacer a lo largo del voluntariado, fue claro y respetuoso con los horarios. El lugar acogedor, central, cerca de muchos cenotes y atracciones como el chichen itza, buena conexión, buena cocina, y un entorno para conectar con muchos invitados.
