I had a great experience volunteering at this hostel. The atmosphere and the team were amazing and from the first day it really felt like home. The place is welcoming, relaxed, and full of good energy. The host is very flexible, accessible, and easy to talk to, which made everything even better. Communication was always open and respectful. I'm really grateful for this experience and would definitely recommend it to other volunteers.

Thank you so much for accepting me as a volunteer. It was my first time working in a hostel as a receptionist, and the whole experience was better than I ever expected. I met incredibly friendly people, the work hours were flexible, and the team made me feel valued and included every single day. I made wonderful friends, learned new things, and truly enjoyed contributing my time. Staying here was a pleasure, and being part of such a positive, welcoming environment meant a lot to me. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a great volunteer experience.

It was a lovely experience. The people in the hostal are very warm and welcoming people. The tasks are easy and the hours are very good scheduled, so that you can do before and after the shifts stuff. They are also very flexible with them, you can change easily with other volunteers or employees. Everything is very uncomplicated and super chill. My most „stressful“ day have been three check-ins. Besides that I was learning salsa, Spanish and read a lot while on shift as work isn't demanding. The area is safe and everything important easily reachable by foot. Would recommend. 10/10

In only 1 month Rollin' keepers became my home and the crew - my family. Agustin, Julio and Ruby are always there if we need any recommendation or advice. The hostel is not big and that gave us an opportunity to get to know every guest and make them feel home as well. It's located in a safe neighbourhood and close to many popular bars and places of interest. Couldn't recommend it more!! ;) Great place to practice English, Spanish, learn salsa and enjoy Colombian and local culture! hope to be back soon :D
