What a great experience I can't recommend it enough. Mauro teaches you everything about making coffee from taste color smell how the different ways of preparing coffee effect everything and then you just get to make coffee all day which is very simple and very easy to catch on. The location is also very beautiful as you are sitting at the foot of the entrance to the caja nacional park. The hostel itself is in the heart of the city and when you have your off days you have plenty of opportunities to explore and meet with people. I recommend going to the thermal baths.

Wonderful place in the heart of Cuenca. Work is nice and staff sweet. The hostel is so nice with big comfortable rooms, and delicious breakfast. You will have lots of time to explore the city and nearby places. The only thing I will say is that the host could be better at setting clear lines for the working hours, because it was not always clear when I would be working or not, for example evening vs. morning. But there is respect among staff and working hours were generally respected:))

Well, the position is clearly for the night shift. I think the confusion came from us mentioning that helping with breakfast in the mornings was completely optional, only if you wanted to. But it was never a requirement.

Either way, we’ll make sure to explain it even better next time 😉 Thanks for your feedback!

The best volunteering experience in Cuenca Volunteering in Cuenca has been my best experience so far. The facilities are luxurious, a true paradise after long travel days. The staff made me feel at home with their kindness and professionalism. Mauricio, the host, has a great sense of humor and runs the place with impressive care and organization. He expects volunteers to be dynamic, responsible, and engaged, which ensures everything runs smoothly. I highly recommend this enriching experience, both personally and professionally. It's an unforgettable place!

BEST volunteer experience so far!! the hostel is an awesome place to stay, right in the heart of Cuenca, a beautiful and safe city. The hostel is very nice, clean and comfortable. I worked at the reception at night and I had a lot time to enjoy the city and its surroundings. Working at reception was chill, you just need to make sure everybody arrives for the check in and that everything stays clean. The staff is super friendly and kind and helps you with everything you need. I would definitely recommend doing a volunteer here :) Gracias, Verito y Rosi por todo 🫶🏼 nos vemos

If you are considering volunteering at this hostel, simply DO IT! the hostel is the perfect place to work surrounded by lovely people, meet travelers from all over the world and live in the city center of such a beautiful city like Cuenca! I volunteered for 6 weeks as receptionist and after that, got a job offer, directly from the owner, to work in the cafeteria the hostel located in Cajas National Park, a gem just outside of the city. At this point I have been living here for 2 months and a half and not planning on leaving anytime soon! Join our team, I promise you won't regret🥂✨

Marianna arrived in Cuenca to volunteer with us only for a few weeks and ended up being part of our team. From the very beginning she was always willing to help with all the different tasks at the hostel. Her enthusiasm and her flexibility made it possible for her to start working for us at our brand new backpackers’ meeting point. We are really enjoying her company and hoping to receive more volunteers like her who will decide to spend some longer time at Guillerminas!
