My first experience as a volunteer was great. The routine tasks are quite easy, and the days you have to work the most are Saturdays and Sundays, but it's not even 5 hours a day, it's much less. The people are amazing, very upbeat. Lita, the lady who works at the hostel, is like a mother. She helped me a lot with tasks and with Spanish. It's recommended that you have a basic understanding of Spanish; otherwise, you'll have difficulty communicating. I thank Ari for the opportunity and support, Lita for the chats, laughs, and help, and all the guests who have always been courteous.

The hostel was my second experience at WP and it was very useful to live more and different volunteer experiences. I connected with people from different parts of the world, practice my English like never before and make good friends. Teaming up with Lita, for whom I was her assistant and replacement on the weekends, was very entertaining and welcoming. We shared breakfasts and lunches where laughter was never lacking. Thanks for giving me chicken and rice! The tasks are mainly cleaning common spaces. The idea is to make guests feel in a clean and welcoming place. Thanks 4 all, Ari!

Is was my first time traveling and using Worldpackers. The travel itself was amazing! The people who works in the hostel was great, but the host confuses volunteers and employees. I loved the experience, but not because of him, unfortunately. I wouldn't recommend people to be a volunteer in this hostel. It made me feel stressed and disappointed.

Hi, I'm the host. I wish Andrea would have told me this personally and at the beggining of her stay, we saw each other every day. We host a lot of people and most leave very happy with their experience. I always have interviews and explain the jobs the volunteers will have, no surprises. In her case, the job was to organize parties/get-togethers and to serve breakfast. I have very clear the difference of a volunteer and a worker, but we are strict on volunteers being punctual and taking their duties seriously. In these aspects, there are no differences between workers or volunteers.
Still, this is a good opportunity to improve our recruiting and be very clear to future worldpackers about our expectations

Ari, the owner and all the guys in the staff, including the volunteers was really amazing... the hostel localization is perfect to you stay in Santiago. I stayed for few days, but I've learned thinly that I'll use for my whole life.

I had a very good experience meeting so many people. This hostel has preety good common areas and it's really easy to make friends and have great conversations. Most of the staff (all the girls) were really awsome!... All the guys need to work on their behaviour towards girls... Unfortunatly this was a downside. But I believe the worldpackers have talked to them about it and that they had some kind of internal meeting to solve this. Anything you need you can talk to the worldpackers and they will help you for sure (They once answered me around 7 am and helpd me!) Enjoy Santiago!

We are a hostel that receives a lot of volunteers (around 3 per month), both men and women. We look for people who is socially active and that can engage in good vibes with the other staff and our loved guests. We tolerate no agression to guests nor staff by our paid staff, volunteers and/or guests. Hence, I strongly disagree to the generalization that Alice is publishing. As the hostel owner and being one of the "guys" mentioned in her comments, I never had any inconvenient with her nor I saw any problem with the rest of the staff (on the contrary, they usually hung out together, including taking organized tours), until she reported to me via email that she had left the hostel the previous day, a week before her agreed period, for a problem she had with one other volunteer. We definetly don't agree with the way she decided to handle this issue. Finally, the other female volunteers that worked with us for the same period never reported any problem with the rest of the staff

Después de todas mis experiencias y voluntariado en Chile. Esta fue sin duda la más increíble e inolvidable de todas. Ari me explicó cómo funciona el Hostel y ya estaba ansioso por poder conocer y ser voluntario en un lugar tan acogedor. Lita fue una madre para mí, se encargó de que todo saliera bien y me hizo sentir parte de una familia. muy flexibles y ubicación céntrica en Santiago. Nunca olvidaré este lugar, espero volver lo antes posible, ya sea como voluntario o como Huéspede. Gracias Ari y Lita por esta oportunidad.
