My expérience at the hostel was a mess: upon arriving, Claudio explained that he hadn't organised things properly and already had volunteers, so he didn't have any work for me, but could offer me a job at his brother's hostel, which is also in PA. However, where Claudio's hostel is clean and very functional and comfy, his brother(a lousy, sexist, lazy and miser man)'s hostel is horrible and poorly maintained. I had to clean to bathrooms and cook dinner for the brother and his family with minimal ingredients in a dirty kitchen. Needless to say, I don't recommend. At all.

hola, disculpa, si lamentablemente ya contábamos con varios amigos voluntarios. que se fueron muy contentos en el hostal . por otra parte por lo que veía acá no compartías con las personas. no saludabas ni siquiera a los amigos que estaban de voluntarios acá. lo mismo pasaba en el otro lugar. En el otro hostal igual habían voluntarios me contaban lo mismo, que no tenias voluntad de nada. las tareas eran básica. repasar 2 baños y poder ayudar a cocina con los otros voluntarios para comer.

Stay and work at the hostel was more than I could expect. Claudio is adorable, he is a very good person! He helped me with everything I needed. I met a lot of different people, practiced english, learned spanish and went to beautiful places. It was such a great experience! I'm thankful for Claudio and his family.

Fuimos con mi novio. Estuvimos 3 meses y medio como voluntarios. La experiencia fue intensa: por un lado, el lugar es familiar, nunca nos faltó comida, abrigo ni servicios, y los dueños y sus padres siempre fueron respetuosos y atentos. Aprendimos mucho, conocimos gente de todo el mundo y muchos huéspedes nos agradecieron el trato. Por otro lado, las horas de trabajo no siempre fueron las acordadas y muchas veces quedábamos a cargo del hostel fuera de horario, lo que fue cansador. Volveríamos, pero con un trato más claro; si no funcionara, nos iríamos sin dudar. Fue un balance intermedio

hola. disculpa, pero tu tarea era solo en las mañanas. de 9 a a 14 hr. muchas veces te despertabas a las 10 am a tomar cafe y terminabas a las 13 hr y nadie te decía nada. por que a veces no había mucho trabajo. y lo otro siempre se les consulto como estaban. si venían por 2 semanas y se quedaron casi 4 meses. pero bueno..

Los horarios son flexibles, las tareas son sencillas y el ambiente es muy familiar. Muchas gracias a Claudio y a su familia por recibirme y acompañarme en este tiempo que compartimos juntos. ¡Un abrazo!
