My first volunteering experience at República Hostel the hostel was incredible and went far beyond my expectations. From the very first day, the staff, volunteers, and even the guests made me feel at home, like part of a family.During my stay I helped with reception, kitchen, and bar duties, always in a friendly and collaborative atmosphere. the hostel itself is a paradise, filled with countless outdoor activities to enjoy. I 100%recommend this volunteering opportunity to anyone looking for an authentic, enriching experience. It left me with amazing memories and desire to come back.

I had a great time at the hostel. The Staff was super nice and helpful and I was able to make great friendships with the other volunteers. However, I do recommend knowing some Spanish there because that helped me a lot there. Work was nice and I was able to explore the surroundings of the hostel which was wonderful. I recommend it for sure!

Staying at República Hostels was an amazing experience and I had the best time! This is my second time coming back to volunteer at República and I absolutely loved my time in Cartagena. Everyone on the team and Roger, the volunteer manager are very welcoming and will immediately integrate you. The workload and tasks are pretty easy to follow and you have quite some free time to explore Cartagena. I learned new tasks , like making cocktails while working at the bar this time which I appreciate. Overall, I 100% recommend this experience!
