I can only recommend this volunteer experience! It was perfect! The hostel is so pretty and cozy, i felt very welcomed & comfortable the whole time:) The host Omar is great!! Most of my tasks were reception work, preparing breakfast or watering plants. I was cooking a lot with others. It was a very good vibe in the hostel:) Had an amazing time in the hostel and would love to come back some time!😊

Spent 3 weeks volunteering at the hostel and can absolutely recommend it! The tasks are quite easy- managing the reception, some garden work (like picking up mangoes and tidying up the leaves), feeding the cats and engaging with the guests. The hostel is very chill and not in a party vibe so perfect for someone who is looking for a more relaxed place. Omar is a great host and you can see his passion and love for the place! Will be back one day! Thanks for the experience 😊

I loved staying at the hostel, i felt home since the first moment and i took care about the surrounding like was my house. The task at the reception are easy and well expleined, sometime i helped with some cleaning, sometimes we organized community dinner (we spent Christmas and New Year's Eve together with the guests), pizza night exc. the hostel's vibe is very relaxed, great even to focus on your own project or work in your free time. Omar is very kind and friendly, with definitly good vibe, and he attracts also good vibe guests :) <3 I hope to return one day.

El hostel fue una experiencia muy enriquecedora para mí. El balance entre tareas y tiempo libre es perfecto, tuve el turno de mañana que me dejaba tener tiempo libre en la tarde para ir a explorar Palomino que es un pueblito hermoso que se debate entre el río, el mar, la arena y unos paisajes de montañas nubosas. Allí conecté con mucha gente de mi ciudad y otras personas de otras nacionalidades, logré tener una rutina muy linda, alimentarme bien y mover el cuerpo como es debido. Omar es un gran anfitrión y el hostel el lugar perfecto por lo tranquilo.

Mi experiencia como voluntaria en el hostel fue increíble. Desde el primer día me sentí bienvenida y parte. Estuve ayudando en recepción y en tareas del jardín, y en todo momento hubo buen ambiente, respeto y buena onda. Quiero destacar especialmente a Omar, quien me recibió muy bien y me hizo sentir como en casa en cada momento. Es un lugar con mucha energía, ideal para conectar con personas de todo el mundo y aprender cada día algo nuevo. Lo súper recomiendo para quien esté buscando su próximo voluntariado. ¡Gracias por todo!💫🫂🫶🏻
