The hostal is a chill place and there's so much things to visit around: montains, playas, pueblo, waterfalls... The tasks are easy and times work respected. The only bad point is a problem of communication and respect with the hostal team.

Our experience was very good. They accepted my boyfriend and I and were very kind. The accommodation and food were good and what we liked most was the flexibility of letting us choose the work shift in exchange for 1 or more meals. Some constructive points are the laundry. The hostel is still organizing itself to be able to offer it to volunteers. We could only wash clothes after our work hours of 11pm and when we woke up (5am) to extend them, the clothes were out of the machine, without a complete cycle. However, we were very welcome and enjoyed getting to know the region. We will miss you!

Desde el primer día, en Juancho's House me hicieron sentir como en casa. Cumplieron con todo lo que ofrecían y, sinceramente, me sorprendieron con mucho más. El ambiente es increíble: tanto los voluntarios que estaban en ese momento como el equipo de trabajo y el administrador fueron siempre atentos, cálidos y dispuestos a ayudar. Gracias a ellos, mi estadía fue hermosa y mi primera experiencia como voluntaria no pudo haber sido mejor. Me voy con recuerdos lindísimos, aprendizajes y personas que ya forman parte de mi camino. Recomendado 100 x 100. ¡Gracias por todo!

La experiencia fue la mejor forma para cerrar un ciclo y comenzar otro completamente renovado. Fue un trabajo donde aprendi muchísimo, con un equipo extremamente maravilloso. Me sentí enraizado, cuidado y aprendiendo a cuidar y respetar las características de la zona. Una experiencia que ayudó a pensar y vivenciar la organización séria de un hostel y restaurante de calidad, en la atención a los huéspedes y en los vínculos saludables con el equipo que rabaja cotidianamente. No hay nada mejor que vivir un buen tiempo donde se valoriza tu aporte, rodeado de naturaleza y vinculos saludables.

Mi experiencia en the hostel fue excelente. Karen, Juan y todo el equipo de trabajo son muy amables, me recibieron e incluyeron desde el primer día. Los horarios se cumplen a la perfección, la ubicación es perfecta, prácticamente frente a la playa (una playa que parece infinita). Transportarse es muy simple (las busetas hacia Santa Marta o Palomino pasan por la puerta del host). Recomiendo el voluntariado y sin dudas volvería. GRACIAS !
