Description
We are a Modern Hostel in Jardin, Antioquia (3-4h south of Medellin). We are located in the heart of Jardin, only two blocks from the main square. The hostal is multicultural, we host people from all over the world and speaking many different languages. We are looking for volunteers to do differents duties. (Organization, checkins, checkouts, selling tours, giving information to the guests, cleaning...) or if you have any experience in mural painting we can also be interested !

We have a new exciting project ! We are going to open a vegan restaurant in the next months. We would like to offer healthier and more sustainable options to eat in Jardin with only fresh and local products.
We would also like to sell natural and eco-friendly homemade cosmetics (Shampu, Toothpaste, soap) in the restaurant once it will be open.
The restaurant is located next door from the hostel and we are looking for people interested into decoration with sustainable materials, wood...etc anyone creative with ideas!

Working at Lulo’s was one of my favorite memories of a 6-months journey. The hostel is incredibly clean, artistic and welcoming. And it is situated in one of the most beautiful towns in Colombia. Above all, Sol and Jose are some of the best people you will ever encounter and have the pleasure to work with.

They are considerate and always want to… read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Lulo's. Jose and Sol are super friendly and understanding hosts and the workload is easy and very flexible. They are open to taking a few volunteers at a time as well so it is a very social environment. The hostel itself, is very stylish with big comfortable couches. Spanish is not a necessity, but it is encouraged… read more

They have good energy and motivation + really good skills to build things with wood and mural painting. Also they were… read more

I came here after my first Workaway experience didn't work out quite well as planned. José was very responsive and immediately said yes. Though we didn't see much but he'd always ask how things are going every day. I stayed just over a week at but it was such a nice experience. The whole hostel ambiance is so laid-back, working schedule was… read more

When I first came to Jardín I volunteered in the sister hostel which I also fully recommend: https://www.workaway.info/146554989257-en.html

Later the owners came up with the project of opening a new hostel with a more central location.
Therefore I came back to give a hand along with of couple of other volunteers.
And I ended up staying 3 months… read more

We had a lot of fun working with Jose! This hostel is super chilled/laidback and has a really nice atmosphere. We are sad to leave our favorite town, but this was a really great first WorkAway experience. We will miss all of our volunteer friends from here and the sister hostel on the other side of town!

I fully enjoy the two weeks I spent at Lulo’s. The surroundings are gorgeous and the city offers a calm atmosphere; many guests ended up staying longer than planned. The hostel itself has good vibes, easy going and relaxing.
I actually applied for volunteering in the sister hostel, which is 10 min outside of the centre, but there was a spot… read more
