Incredible experience at the hostel! The team is great, we feel at home and the tasks requested are really very easy. Gabriel takes great care of his volunteers, communicates and laughs a lot, and integrates us into his world for a total immersion with the Chileans. Thank you so much Gabriel for sharing, I won't forget the hostel!

No tengo palabras para describir lo especial que fue esta experiencia. Desde que llegué me hicieron sentir en casa. Gabriel y Vale son personas increíblemente amables, generosas y con un corazón enorme. Cada día se sintió lleno de cariño, risas y aprendizajes. Me voy con el corazón lleno y la certeza de que siempre querré volver. Gracias por tanto, por hacerlo todo con amor y por abrirme las puertas como si fuera parte de la familia.

Volver a este hostel fue como regresar a casa. Es mi segunda vez como voluntario y no puedo estar más agradecido. El ambiente es cálido, auténtico y lleno de buena vibra Durante mi voluntariado tuve la oportunidad de compartir con viajeros de todo el mundo, aportar con mi arte y seguir creciendo personalmente. Las instalaciones son cómodas, limpias y bien cuidadas Así mismo Gabriel y valeria siempre están pendientes de que no nos faltara nada y de que todo estuviera bien
