My experience at the hotel was very positive. The work was good, the facilities were great, and the staff was always kind and supportive. The daily tasks were clear and easy to understand, and I'm grateful for the memories and the people I met there.

This hostel is in a great location. However, prospective volunteers should be aware of significant issues. Management frequently made promises that weren't honoured, including providing a useable kitchen and paying sales commissions. There is significant surveillance of volunteers via security cameras, we required permission for basic tasks, there was a strong focus on volunteer led revenue generation and keeping people at the hostel (bar sales). Blurring the lines between a cultural exchange and an unpaid sales role. Communication regarding events and responsibilities was often unclear.

El hotel es diversión, es aprendizaje, es cultura y Caribe! El equipo es inmejorable, todos atentos, profesionales y con la alegría tan típica de Cartagena. Me sentí como en casa, valorada en mis labores y acogida con toda la amabilidad. Lo recomiendo cien por cien si tienes ganas de conocer gente, practicar idiomas y formar parte del corazón de Cartagena. Si en un futuro se da la ocasión de regresar, lo haré sin dudar ! :)

Tuve una experiencia increíble como voluntario en el hotel en Cartagena. Fue algo muy enriquecedor, aprendí mucho y conocí a gente genial. James y todo el equipo son lo máximo, siempre disponibles y muy acogedores. El ambiente es relajado, uno se siente como en casa desde el primer día. Recomiendo totalmente esta experiencia a quienes quieran conocer Cartagena y vivir una gran aventura humana
