I have been almost a month here, my first Workaway experience (actually also the start of my trip in South America), and it has been a blast! From the very first day I felt at home and integrated in the big group of volunteers: we were, for most of the month, around ten people of mixed nationalities. The hostel comes with a swimming pool, a large… read more park, a beautiful quincho to cook and play music till late, plus Merlo has really wonderful surroundings. You will get the chance to go on gorgeous hikes and bathe in pristine rivers. The work is straight forward and not hard: for the most part I was cleaning the rooms and the common spaces, and helping David with construction (if you get the chance to meet this guy, you are lucky - he is a legend). You will interact a lot with the three coordinators: Flor, Maria and Rodrigo, wonderful human beings who will respect you and really bring the family vibe to the next level.
So, if I had such a good experience, why can't I give the hostel five stars? Throughout my stay I witnessed a few unpleasant situations between Collin, the owner, and a few other volunteers. If he does not agree with something, he has no problem kicking out people who had been part of the hostel for months. It's not necessarily that he is not a good person, but he has his strong opinions and at times communicating with him can be stressful. Plus, he does not seem to understand the basic needs of the volunteers: take into account that if you are going to work in high season all the rooms and dormitories are most likely going to be occupied by guests, therefore you will sleep in the galpon, a small, hot deposit room without bathroom, internet connection, lockers and windows (replaced by plastic sheets). It made me wonder more than once if the exchange (25 hours of work/week for bed and breakfast) was still fair, as the accommodation was not as you would expect in a hostel. But then again, I didn't complain because I was enjoying my time with the other people. To make a cheeky little metaphor: imagine the hostel as a gorgeous factory where you, the laborer, are enjoying your work; the owner is somewhat difficult, but the labor union managers (especially Flor) will help the mediation and make the environment better.
All in all, thanks again to the managers and to all the wonderful people I met. Suerte con vuestra vida!! <3

Lucas Y flor nos visitaron por 3 semanas. Fue maravilloso tenerlos en nuestro Hostel, sumaron muchas cosas buenas y fueron muy cálidos, amistosos y realmente responsables con todas las tareas que le propusimos. Nos cocinaron rico y enseñaron muchas cosas. Ojala vuelvan, los recomendamos mucho.
