In a word: Fantastic!
We stayed in their Santigo city center guest house. Leo, the administrator, was great. He gave clear instructions on what needed to be done on every shift. The workload was never too much, just the right amount to fill the time in a comfortable and relaxed way. The hours were spread over 4 days per week. Sebastian, who is a… read more

Our stay with Leo was amazing - highly recommended!
We were with Leo for about 3 weeks total, and stayed at the hostel most of the time. Jobs there included cleaning, ironing and night shifts from 2-8am, with a maximum of 6 hours' work per day. Leo was very flexible if we wanted to change shifts, and helped us settle in very nicely.

We've spent with Leo and other workawayers 2 great weeks in March 2023 building the cabaña in Villarica.
It was a really good time, and the place to stay had an amazing view for the volcano.
Our work was focused on finishing the build, gardening, cleaning and cooking.

Mi tiempo en Chile fue genial, la pasé muy bien en las cabañas de San José de Maipo. El ambiente que se creó fue muy agradable y las vistas desde la montaña son increíbles. También es buen lugar para ejercitar las piernas (con tantas bajadas y subidas); puede costar un poco al inicio si uno no practica actividades físicas.

Great experience with Leo! Funny and cultivated, you get to the share a lot with him. Work is pleasant (except cleaning the fridge ^^) and always very convenient regarding the hours and your plans. It's also very well located in Cajón del Maipo which is a wonderful area to discover. Can only recommend!!

I stayed in the hostel in Santiago for almost a month! The location is really good, walking distance from most happening neighbourhood, next to the supermarket and right behind the bus stop which can take you to the heart of the city!

Working at Leo's hostel was a great pleasure for us. We were able to redecorate an entire room for them. Leo takes great pride in the presentation of his hostel which is so lovely to see. The team that work there were always supportive and fun. Also great that they could take us in so last minute. 100% recommended.
