Henry is a very lovely host. He is very caring, when I got sick he made sure to help me get well as fast as possible. The hostel itself is lovely, loads of amazing art made by Henry!! Job is very easy and you still have plenty of free time! If you love music, art and cooking this hostel is truly the place for you! Gracias Henry for hosting me:)

My stay was great, it was a lot of fun to make a mural for the hostel. I felt inspired by all the art in the hostel and the creative freedom. Henry was welcoming and the hours flexible. However a couple of days we had to wait for the breakfast a couple of hours until he bought it. The bathroom and bedroom was in great shape. The area the hostel is located in wasn't though, it was unsafe to walk around after the sun went down. We saw no other tourists walking around and to get to Miraflores it was at least an hour in a bus. It was a bit further than we thought when we planned this stay:)

I had a great stay at the hostel Viajerras! Henry was welcoming and helpful, and he was flexible with the work hours. The hostel was very nice, clean and cozy. The area was a bit far away from the "touristy" places with things to do (for example Barranco and Miraflores) but transport was close to the hostel and frequent. And the area could be a bit dodgy. The only thing I would like to comment on was that breakfast wasn't always there in the morning. Otherwise I had a great time!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel! Everyone was very welcoming and helpful when it came to practicing my Spanish. The hostel is pretty far from any tourist attractions, but perfect if you want to stick around the hostel meeting locals and other travelers! The work was quick and easy as well. Thank you, Henry, for having me!!
