I had a great experience volunteering at the hostel. Sonia gave me a true cultural experience, she taught me to cook and was very giving and fun! It was a very chill place to volunteer at and I recommend to everyone. Especially those needing a nature escape, love food and who love the beach. I had so much fun here ((: <3

I loved my experience at the guest house! Living in the mountains was beautiful and refreshing. Sonia is very reasonable with work and she is accommodating! She often treats her guest like family! Each day I had plenty of time to go the beaches or hike! The hostel guest were all amazing and I loved bonding with them! I would recommend this experience :)

I thoroughly enjoyed my two week in Uscio exploring the local towns, villages and hidden gems around the area. The work was fair and easy to follow along with and I had a magnificent time sharing my day with other hostel guests and helping out our Host Sonia. I felt comfortable with all services readily available so everything ended up being a pleasant stress free time :)
