I loved my time at the hostel! I was assigned to work behind the bar which was my preferred option, and it was a great way to meet people and practice my Spanish! The bar staff were super friendly and it was always a good time, and the rest of the staff were super welcoming as well! The management was also super accomodating if anything came up (e.g. date changes, sickness etc.), so I can't recommend them enough if you want to learn something new or just have a great Peruvian experience!

It was a great experience. I intended to stay for three weeks, but ended up staying for over a month. They were always very kind to me. Alexia, the manager, is always available to help with any issues. I highly recommend the experience at the hostel. Meeting and sharing with other volunteers is incredible. Thank you for everything. I will be back. See you soon

I had an amazing time working at the bar. I was learning how to make cocktails and met people from all over the world. From the very beginning, the team involved me, which made me feel really welcome. The atmosphere in the hostel is warm and social, and every staff member was very kind and helpful. And especially the breakfasts were amazing! I've felt very comfortable since the first day:) I'm super grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend volunteering here:))

I spent 3 weeks volunteering at the hostel in the hostel and had such a great time. The vibe is super lively and social—there's always something happening. What I appreciated most was the balance between volunteering and free time. I had plenty of opportunities to explore the city, relax, or just hang out with other volunteers and travelers. Liz the reception manager was amazing. The tasks were pretty straightforward and I enjoyed working alongside the reception team and having the opportunity to learn more Spanish.

Had a great time at the hostel working on the bar team. The staff and volunteers at the bar were really friendly and welcoming. My manager Margot was excellent and confirmed my schedule for the duration of my volunteering on arrival. The meals provided were good and the kitchen catered to a vegetarian diet. The hostel is in an excellent location. A great way to experience the hostel!

I loved volunteering at the hostel and it was exactly what I expected from this position. Rocío was very clear about my tasks and the schedule. I mostly worked during the hostel activities in the evening and during the day I had my creative freedom which was super important for me. The team is nice too and I made lots of friends among the other volunteers and staff. The hostel location is top too and I enjoyed exploring the hostel and meeting locals. Don't think twice when applying to this hostel, as you're going to stay even longer than you planned.

Loved the time volunteering at the reception at the hostel in the hostel, it's a great hostel with a perfect location right next to the Kennedy Park and even without volunteering I would have probably booked my stay there. It was a good experience working with the team and I felt welcome from the first day that I got there. The relaxed working atmosphere , the great food you get and the volunteer discounts make this a guaranteed recommendation for me. Applying there was super easy and I got a quick response, especially for my first time volunteering anywhere I was very positively surprised
