I'm really grateful I could volunteer at Universal Travellers Hostel! Everything was as agreed, it was great to have breakfast free. Location is situated just above city center. I only wish I knew Spanish fluently so I could fully connect with the team and guests. I think if you speak Spanish, you will be great :) Shifts are straight forward and relaxed. Thanks Ruben and team for everything!

My volonteering with Ruben, Abby and the others volonteers was amazing! Bariloche is such a nice place, the hostel is like a home and feel very warm and welcoming. The shifts are always changing and tasks are clear and easy - there is always Ruben Abby or the other volonteers to help if needed. Lots of time of to enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding Bariloche 🌞

It was one of the best expiriences traveling. The group of people that I've found, was very welcoming, helpful with the chores and very caring! Unfourtunately I could not do some of the hikes Bariloche has to offer, so I would really like to go back there next year, and of course I would choose Universal Traveler's Hostel as the place to stay. I had a really fun time there, I would definitely do it again!

I absolutely love this place! The hostel is really nice and cozy, with a lovely green area outside that includes a pool. The tasks are easy and not too demanding. Ruben, the owner, is a really kind person and takes great care of his volunteers. I was so happy there that I extended my stay. I definitely recommend this place for volunteering. Thank you so much for the beautiful experience!

The work was easy, it wasn't much to do in general, so I had a lot time to do my thing. I wish I had a bit more instructions how or what to do sometimes. The place is small and cozy and got a nice pool. Overall I had quite a chill time there.
