It was an amazing experience. Cali is such a nice city and all the staff were really kind. It felt like home and I highly recommend volunteering here. The facilities were great and the job in itself is pretty straightforward!

Volunteering at the hostel is such a great experience. You get to know sweet colleagues and the guests there are all nice, there are a lot of backpackers you can hang out with. Also we were two volunteers so you can hang out with the other volunteer. The coordinators and people who teach you how to work there are really kind and helpful. Also, the hostel is in a nice neighbourhood and well located, you can go anywhere you want! If you need any advice or want to discover the local life don't hesitate to ask your colleagues especially Diana 😉 You can also go around Cali when you have your days off!

The culture such as great recommendations of places to go and things like salsa etc. great facilities as well and a really amazing feel to the hostel. Amazing experience which I would definitely do again! 3 weeks was not long enough!

The hostel offers very fair work hours in exchange for a comfortable stay in their hostel along with breakfast. It is located in a vibrant district where you can enjoy most of the great things Cali has to offer. The staff are all very warm and welcoming, though their English is not so good so there is a language barrier if you don't know spanish. I really enjoyed my time at this hostel and working the bar for their guests.

Tuvimos la suerte de contar con Alexis como voluntario en La Vaina, y fue una experiencia excelente. Desde el primer día demostró ser muy puntual, responsable y comprometido con los turnos asignados. Siempre estaba presente cuando se le necesitaba, y su actitud proactiva fue clave para el buen funcionamiento del espacio.
Además, ayudó a crear un ambiente chévere tanto con el equipo como con los huéspedes. Generaba confianza a que los huespedes consumieran nuestros platos.
¡Gracias por todo!
