Volunteering at the hostel Cartagena was one of the best decisions I made while travelling. I was able to meet so many nice people, many of whom I will stay in contact with in the future. I connected with many other international volunteers as part of the team and they improved my experience massively. The hostel is clean and tidy and the free amenities provided by the host were perfect. The hours were always agreed upon prior to arrival and stuck to, with no confusion or negative changes, which leaves many free hours during the day to do anything you want. Muchisimas gracias to everyone!

My experience at the hostel has been incredible! The hostel is beautiful and exactly as pictured. The staff is welcoming and friendly. It is in the center of centro with lots to do and see. There is a 20% discount on everything in the hostel and some events are even free! The tasks are simple enough but the organization could be improved a bit. Thank you to Jhoan, Gaby and Ronnie especially for making my time even more special. Almost all the guests are from various countries in Europe and are very social. The beds are closed and have a light and charger and the rooms have AC.
