Descripción
We are a new hostel looking for energetic, creative and fun people who can help out where help is needed. Based on your skills and strengths we could use help behind reception, Web marketing, social media, video editing, and also artists for murals. Our hostel is on the lake with an amazing view of the rock, has a pool, bar, and restaurant. We will also offer our own boat rides and tours around the area. For the volunteers we will have accommodation and food included plus nice discounts on drinks. Just to be clear, this is a bit of a party hostel so we are looking for people with outgoing personalities who can help add to the atmosphere. 2-3 weeks minimum, looking for 6 volunteers max, no couples unless you promise you wont fight in front of the guests ;) also, no inquiries if you like pineapple on your pizza..

Gigi was a great volunteer to have. He is very outgoing and helped from designing new menus and creating a promo video to assisting behind the bar and kitchen.
Other than being an amazing worker he is a really cool guy and brings with him positive vibes, a good attitude, and great attention to detail.

Garrick and his staff were really friendly and welcoming.
Working with them has been really really fun and interesting. Plus, is located in a lovely location, not far from Guatapé and Medellin, and has a mix of international and colombian guests, that made the cultural experience even better.

Stayed here for two weeks and came back for three more weeks. On the one hand I got to learn so many people from all over the world and on the other hand a lot of new Colombian friends from the neighbourhood. Working together with the people from the kitchen is really funny and it's really nice to help people that are staying in the hostel.… read more

I spent three amazing weeks volunteering here. Garrick the owner treats you more like a friend than a volunteer. The schedule is flexible with other volunteers, most of the work you're doing you have a beer in the other hand. The spot and the view is goergous. You will deal with lovely colombian staff, and the food is fresh and tasty. I can't… read more

Was very Lucky to have had Lisa come and help out at my hostel.
She’s extremely kind and gets along with everyone and also is a very hard worker. She helped organize my bars drink menus and was an overall huge help. I highly recommend this amazing woman to anyone!
