Juan Carlos and Claudia have been amaaaaaazing hosts! The hostel is a beautiful place for meeting new people from all over the world but also locals. I have met so many interesting, intelligent, creative, and passionate people. The hours and breaks were beyond reasonable. Kiwi, the cat, on the other hand has not been as friendly but alas, he's living his best life. No injuries or anything, he just ignores me when I try to say hi. I love him regardless. There are plenty of bars, cafés, and restaurants nearby. There's even a concert every Sunday right across the street from the hostel. 10/10

Mi experiencia en este voluntariado fue muy buena.Desde el primer día los Anfitriones ( Juan y Pablo) me recibieron con mucha calidez y siempre estuvieron atentos a que me sintiera cómoda. Las tareas fueron acordes a lo pactado, y el ambiente de trabajo fue agradable. Además, pude compartir con personas de distintos lugares y aprender sobre la cultura local. El lugar es cercano a todo lo que se pueda necesitar y esta resguardado por seguridad todo el rato. Recomiendo totalmente esta experiencia a otros voluntarios. ¡Gracias por todo!

Mi experiencia en el hostal fue buenísima! Conocí muchas personas dentro y fuera de allí que me permitieron aprender de su cultura y enseñarme lugares hermosos. Con respecto al trabajo, Juan es súper flexible tanto con los horarios como con las tareas a realizar. Está al pendiente 24/7 en caso de que necesites y está predispuesto a orientarte y ayudarte. Es un lugar cómodo, seguro y cercano a supermercados/tiendas/hospital etc. Recomiendo al 100%. Gracias por todo Ju an!:)

Mi instancia fue muy grata! Claudia y Juan son personas muy atentas, empáticas y disponibles en todo sentido, se ve que se preocupan de una y de las personas de manera genuina, y se agradece. Siempre hay buena energía y disposición. Agregaría quizás más claridad en que contemplan los turnos en si, en cuanto a horario. Pero detalles, volvería feliz y lo recomiendo!
