I'm deeply grateful to everyone at the hostel for such an unforgettable experience. I came looking for growth, and I found a space to learn, try, fail, and be encouraged. This place pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way. I'm leaving with great memories, lots to reflect on, and a heart full of gratitude. Your hospitality and good vibes truly humbled me. I wish you all success and happiness. Stay awesome ✌️

The hostel was the best hostel I've stayed in and my favourite volunteer program I've done. The shifts are really nice but you also get a lot of free time. The people there are so great and I could not be happier with this experience

I was in the hostel for a month and I didn't have one bad experience! There's always something going on, I was constantly meeting amazing guests and I got really close with other volunteers as well as the staff who is working there. Everyone's so welcoming and always trying to help. The area is filled with clubs/bars/karaoke places, and I had amazing time. It's also a good place to practice English or Spanish. The work is not tiring at all and doesn't take a lot of your time, so you will have enough time to explore the city and even go on 1/2-day excursions to the mountains or beach.
