I only did one week volunteering at this place but I really enjoyed it. When I was sick, they gave me days off and even took care of me. While I was there, Jorge wasn't there, but he still texted me frequently and checked on me if I am doing well and gave me tasks. The place is not that far from the center and shopping malls are close as well! Thank you so much for a fun time and I would definitely be back:)

Jorge is a very communicative host, if anything arises he is there for you. The staff at the hostel are great, and care for the volunteers. It is an awesome experience to be able to practice Spanish, and connect with other travelers.

Jorge was a great host and made me feel welcome. The main duties were housekeeping / cleaning and working hours were from 9am - 2pm. The hostel is located not far from the centre and is very close to a supermarket. Jorge provided a daily allowance for meals which covered my daily meals.
