Left by host for Workawayer (Stacey)

Stacey worked well with us as a volunteer. She was very sociable and had a great energy. During her first week with us she had a little trouble adapting to the job requirements, but as time went on she got more and more comfortable and used to the work, and she was always willing to help with anything required of her. Again, what we enjoyed most… read more

This was my very first workaway experience and it was one of those experience you can just wish for it! Paloma and Vito are the best people you will ever meet in your life! So genuine, positive and always willing to help! And not just that, their hostel has just one special vibe and an amazing atmosphere! Apparently it attracts just the best… read more

Patricija was an excellent help for us. She was able to take control of any task we gave her with ease. She is a very responsible person and very eager to help with absolutely anything, even without being asked. In addition, her fluency in 4-5 different languages (including english and spanish) made it very easy for her to communicate with all… read more

Left by host for Workawayer (Cory)

In the time he spent here, Cory became quite a trustworthy volunteer. At times during the first couple weeks of his stay, he experienced occasional difficulties with certain tasks, some of which he had to be reminded to do. However, towards the last few weeks of his stay he began to preform all his tasks with much more efficiency. Not to mention… read more

Tanja did very good work with us. She was overall very responsible when it came to handling her tasks no matter how busy or slow the day was. As a person, when she first arrived she seemed a bit shy with us, but as time went on she became more comfortable and showed us her friendly and fun-loving side. We very much enjoyed her company when getting… read more

I spent 3 weeks in this beautiful hostel and I couldn´t have asked for a better experience. Paloma and Vito are super friendly and whenever I had a question they helped me a lot. The work itself is mainly about doing the check-in and -out or preparing the breakfast if you have the morning shift. Although I didn´t leave the hostel that often, there… read more

This hostel was my first workaway experience and it was great. I think saying that I stayed there for 2 months tells already a lot about the hostel and the owners.

The hostel is very clean, organized and has a perfect location. The owners are sociable, helpful and relaxed/chill, you can always have a good conversation with them and a good laugh.… read more

Linso is one among the past volunteers that we would consider the most helpful and trustworthy. He was always eager to help with anything we needed him to, for example, preparing breakfast in the morning, communicating with other guests/volunteers, and overseeing operations in the hostel when we were not present (we left him in charge of… read more

Sometimes you feel that you found the second family. Sometimes it's really difficult to leave the place. All of these I can say about Paloma and Vito and their hostel.
It's not just a hostel, it's a magic place with a wonderful atmosphere. From the very first day I felt how Vito and Paloma worrying about the guests and taking care of everybody… read more

The Hostel was my best volunteering experience so far, Palomita and Vito are great, best hosts I've ever had. The staff of the moment were the two best person I could have met in Lima. The hostel is very well organised, the beds are very comfortable, the place is very nice, very clean, and very well located in Miraflores.
I could say several… read more
