My experience at the hostel was absolutely amazing!! I had the best time there and met and volunteered alongside the most amazing people. Nelson was incredibly welcoming from the start and flexible and so were Denilson and Allison. Everyone was super helpful and friendly and it honestly felt like home. The other volunteers also made my time there. Would honestly return in a heartbeat and was super sad to leave.

I loved working at the hostel — it truly felt like home. Nelson, the manager, is the best! He creates an atmosphere where you feel welcomed and free at the same time. Teaching small groups was such a rewarding experience, and I absolutely loved the hostel vibe — swimming in the lake, walking everywhere, and just soaking in the energy of the place. I really hope I can come back someday. It was an unforgettable time. 🌞💧🏡✨

Wow! After arriving it literally just took me a few days till I felt home. Everyone in this hostel is a total gem and they will make you feel super welcome. I was lucky to be there at the same time as other volunteers and Nelson really did manage for us to enjoy our time there! He and the others are so kind hearted, I will miss it so much and I are am planning on going back for a visit! Tasks are easy and you can choose your free days super freely when communicating it. Flores can be a really chill spot but we did use the weekends a lot to go out and about. Muchas Gracias!!! Stay chilero! <3

I am overwhelmed with gratitude that the hostel was my first volunteering experience with World Packers! Everything went perfectly smooth and even added bonuses, like breakfast! Nelson, Allison, and Dennison were incredible: warm, welcoming, generous, and genuinely kind. I felt at home and truly cared for. Nieve is the cutest, feistiest little kitty and I love her!! The volunteer quarters are super cozy. It feels like a secret hideout or camp! The other World Packer volunteers, Greta and Zita, were the cherry on top of such a beautiful experience. The island of Flores is adorable!

I spent 3 weeks in the hostel and I would come back happily - and there's honestly not a better compliment. I really liked the tasks as I could take it all slow. It's mainly staying at the reception for the check-ins, sometimes making some beds and watering plants but it's very easy because the hostel is tiny (but beautiful!). The staff (Nelson and Dennilson) is AWESOME: they are both really respectful, helpful and chill people, and that really just adds up to the whole experience. If you're hesitating whether to apply, don't think twice — do yourself a favor and go for it :)!
