During my stay in the hostel i felt really welcoming from the beginning. I was working at the reception which was really manageable. Juliette and Sergio (the owner of the place) are really friendly host, they take care of the volunteers and are always there if you need them. It was also nice that we always had fresh breakfast and sometimes free dinners all together. Its a really safe and lovely area near by the centre. Thank you for our stay! Lena 😊

My stay at the hostel was really sweet. I enjoyed the time with the other Volunteers being there I even got Singing lessons, I think I really had luck with the people I had around for my stay, in case you ( other volunteers) are reading this, THANK YOU! Sergio, the host was caring and checking whether everyone feels comfortable, I enjoyed talking and discussing with him. I had some flexibility within my schedule and could arrange it with the things that I wanted to do in San Cris. My recommendation is to try the food at Art Libreria and Comal, Cocina De Barro, they are both great.

At the hostel I had the opportunity to explore new sides of myself and new levels of responsibility I've never gotten to before. Thanks for the experience, folks!

No cumplió con mis expectativas realmente en cuestión de infraestructura creo que podría mejorar pero conocí muy bellas personas de diferentes puntos del planeta.

Hi Micaela, unfortunately we were not present on the first days of your arrival. We feel you might not have been properly introduced to the infrastructure by the volunteers in place, and would have loved to be able to provide you with a better experience, but we did not get that chance as you made the decision to leave right away without getting in contact with us. We hope you find what you are looking for!
