The whole team is super friendly. I felt right at home. The tasks are manageable for everyone. I was able to improve my Spanish. The location is perfect for experiencing Cali both authentically and as a tourist. I highly recommend it to everyone. Cali is safe for solo travelers. You should always keep an eye on your valuables, no matter where you are. As a solo female traveler, I was able to explore Cali safely. Thank you for the wonderful time. It was my first volunteer experience through Worldpackers, and I couldn't have asked for a better start. Wishing you all the best.I'll come back!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel—it truly felt like home. The hostel's cozy atmosphere, easygoing tasks, and supportive team made volunteering a joy. Cali's vibrant culture and beautiful nature were the perfect backdrop, and thanks to the amazing salsa instructors, I achieved my goal of learning to dance. Huge thanks to Agustin, Julio, and Rubi for creating such a special and memorable experience!

Rollin Keepers felt like home, Julio, Agus and mi gorda Rubi made of this volunteering experience a nice way of ending my trip in Colombia. The shifts are relatively easy which include working in reception, making breakfast, and helping Ruby with some tasks. The hostal is small so it feels like a fam, and you get to meet everyone. My fav part was making breakfast on sundays, also together with volunteers and guests we'd host arepas or crepe nights. Julio is super organized but also flexible which came in handy while my volunteering. Gracias Rolling Keepers for welcoming us! 🐈🐸 ✨

My experience at the Rolling Keepers was amazing! The place is cool and there's alot to do in the city. The hostel also organises salsa classes that you can join for free 🤩 The tasks are easy and fun. The hosts (Julio and Agustin) are also very welcoming people that made me feel at home. Also the rest of the team is amazing 🫶 Thank you!
