My partner & I loved volunteering here, in the center of Punta Arenas. We felt at home with Gustavo & his dogs: Nala & Thor(the cutest sweetest ever). Gustavo is super chill, funny, great cook, & runs the hostal well. Schedule's sent on Mon. for the week. We were easily able to combine some days off to go to Torres del Paine. The work is chill: cleaning/checkouts in the a.m., laundry/check-ins in the afternoon. Lots of guests from Chile/Argentina to practice my Spanish with. Volunteer here! & bring with you some playadito for Gustavo, hes probably running low by now.

My experience was great! Gustavo is very friendly and made us feel super comfortable at the hostal, plus he served really good meals. We received the weekly work schedule in advance, which really helps with time management, and the working hours are fully respected! The tasks are easygoing: basic cleaning and room organization, setting up the breakfast tables, and doing the dishes. I highly recommend this experience!

I had a wonderful time volunteering at Haikén Hostal. Gustavo is a lovely host, along with his two dogs, Nala and Thor. I shared a room with other volunteers and was grateful for the delicious meals Gustavo provided three times per day. I also had free access to laundry. Expectations were clear and I appreciated receiving my schedule at the start of each week. Morning/afternoon shifts included cleaning guest rooms, bathrooms, common spaces, and the kitchen. Afternoon/evening shifts usually included laundry, checking in guests, and setting up breakfast for the next morning.

El hostel fue mi primera experiencia en voluntariados y me gustó muchísimo. Gustavo con sus mascotas Nala y Toor se convierten en hogar, nunca olvidaré la recibida del primer día 🫂 Las tareas a realizar fueron siempre bien marcadas y fáciles de comprender; Gustavo respetó nuestros horarios al pie de la letra. También fue flexible y nos ayudó organizando nuestros turnos para que podamos realizar un viaje a torres del Paine que planeamos hacer. Con su chispa de sarcasmo pero muy amigable siempre, accedió cada vez que necesitamos algo. Nos cocinó muy rico y nos hizo sentir muy cómodos. GRACIAS!!

Meu tempo no hostel foi incrível, Gustavo é um ótimo anfitrião, cozinha muito bem, é muito gente boa e fez a gente se sentir em casa. As instalações são ótimas, muito confortável e tem aquecimento. Foi perfeita a estadia e no último dia ele levou a gente para dançar numa balada, pretendo voltar para visita-lo pois fizemos um amigo aqui. Indico muito fazer voluntariado no hostel
