I had a great volunteering experience at this hostel. The staff was welcoming, the vibe was very social, and the location in Miraflores near Kennedy Park felt safe at all hours. The facilities were clean and the room was comfortable. As a vegan, I really appreciated that they adapted the meals for me. I volunteered in the marketing area, filming activities and editing videos for social media. Everything was planned with Rocío, who is in charge of marketing, and the schedule was always fair and flexible. It was a great learning experience and definitely the best of my four volunteerings.

My time at the hostel was wonderful! I felt very comfortable right from the start. The countless hostel activities make it very easy to meet a lot of people. I also really enjoyed working at the bar, even though it was a bit exhausting at times. Thank you very much, Dominique and Alan, for your patience with me and my Spanish and for showing me how to mix the Pisco Sour (and so many other cocktails). In my free time, I got to know the hostel with its beautiful neighbourhoods, relaxed beach promenade and great cuisine, and I tried some surfing. I would recommend volunteering in the hostel to anyone ❤️

The team at the hostel were great. I worked on the bar at breakfast from 9am-1pm each day with 1 day off per week which worked really well for me. Working with Adrian was great because he was so helpful and friendly, he made it fun and taught me what I needed to do with patience. I would highly recommend volunteering at the hostel because it's a well organised hostel with activities on each day, it's clean and a great place to stay!

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.

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!
