If I could describe my experience in one word about volunteering at the hostel, this would be AMAZING. Charelle and Nina are so welcoming since the first day you arrive to the hostel, they made me feel I am part of the family. They need help now with some duties such as painting, cleaning and others, so the hostel can be ready for the opening. The food is delicious and I could literally relax during my time in Huacachina. The place is simply PERFECT, a beautiful Oasis 10 minutes walking from the hostel, clubs and local restaurants close. Thanks guys, I recommend this 100%

Mi estadía en el hostel desde el inicio fue excelente, Charelle, Nina y Diego me hicieron sentir como en casa en todo momento, y pude coordinar mis horarios para trabajar dando mis clases de yoga . Voluntarié en cocina con Juan que un excelente profesional, y ser humano aprendí mucho sobre comidas vegetarianas😍 , y que hicimos un buen equipo de trabajo. Me voy muy contenta de ser parte de este equipo, y sé que será un lugar genial y con una energía única para recibir a nuevos viajeros del mundo. Extrañaré mucho a Cholín y Luffy 🐾🐶 gracias 🙏 a todos, abrazo. Sil ✨

Mi estadía en el hostel fue simplemente espectacular. Nina, Charelle y los demás chicos hacen que esta experiencia se sienta como estar en casa. El proyecto que tienen está muy lindo, amé ser parte del proceso y ver como todo va tomando forma. Los chicos son muy flexibles con los horarios. Juan de Dios cocina exquisito. Realmente olvidas que estás laborando y las tareas son muy sencillas. Gracias chicos por todo <3
