I really loved my stay at the hostel, and can 100% recommend volunteering there! The people who work there are absolutely amazing, kind and caring. You'll feel like a part of the family. Also, you'll meet people from all over the world. I was volunteering in the bar, working 17.00-22.00 5 times a week, and I really loved it. The training is good and you get a lot of help if you're wondering about anything. Most of my stay we were two volunteers, and we shared a dorm with a bunk bed and a shared closet. If I ever return to Arequipa I will stay here some nights for sure!🥰

Volunteering at the hostel was such a rewarding experience. From the start, the work was clearly explained and well communicated, which made settling in really easy. A big shout out to Juan, who patiently showed me the ropes behind the bar. Jesus did a fantastic job managing the volunteers. He was flexible when I needed to make changes to my travel plans and always made sure expectations were clear. Working on the bar with Erick and Manuel was great. Not only did they improve my Spanish speaking skills but they were super open to ideas and made me feel like part of the hostel family.
