This was my first ever time doing a volunteer program and this was genuinely an exceptional start! Chinola & Ronald really make the hostel feel like you are living at home away from home. The environment is very relaxing and not stressful. Las Terrenas is also such a beautiful and homey town tucked away in Samana. The central location of the hostel also allows it to be very easy to walk to nearby stores and restaurants. All in all 10/10 experience! Please check them out!

From the time I arrived, Chinola worked to make me feel welcomed. It was clear that she cared about my experience beyond what I contributed as a volunteer. I loved getting to know the other volunteers and the whole the hostel crew. At the hostel it was easy to find friends to spend time with and go out with. The working schedule was clearly communicated and followed. If there was something we really wanted to do that interfered with our assigned shifts, we could talk to Chinola and the other volunteers in order to do so. I spent a month there but wish I could have extended my visit for longer x

Tuve una experiencia maravillosa en este voluntariado en República Dominicana. Los anfitriones son una pareja increíble, siempre atentos, organizados y llenos de buena energía. Me sentí cuidada en todo momento y además tuve bastante tiempo para disfrutar de las hermosas playas que están a solo 10 minutos. ¡Súper recomendado! Volveré seguro... Quieres divertirte. Aprender bachata dominicana, hacer actividades en grupo, conocer y hacer amigos de diferentes partes del mundo 🌎 Este es el lugar ❤️❤️❤️❤️✈️✈️✈️

Chinola y Ronald han creado un hogar para todo el mundo en las Terrenas, es un lugar que realmente te hace sentir en casa, renueva tu energía, te conecta con vivir en el presente, y a divertirte cada día con poco. Sé que volveré a este lugar, a continuar recibiendo más mochileros del mundo! Gracias por esta linda experiencia, y aunque me quede solo por un mes, es un voluntariado que vale la pena hacer por más tiempo.

Mi experiencia en Hostel23 fue profundamente transformadora. Durante un mes conviví con personas increíbles de todo el mundo, y cada momento me permitió conectar desde la empatía y el respeto. Crecí como voluntaria y como persona. Agradezco a Ronald y, en especial, a Chinola: su liderazgo, fortaleza y autenticidad me inspiran. ¡Una bichota total! Hostel23 me hizo sentir parte de una familia. Espero que el karaoke sea plan oficial y que Karol G siga sonando, ¡aunque las bichotas ya no estén! Colombia los espera.
