Had the best time volenteering at this hostel, the only bad bit was leaving! This was a really fun volenteering experience, I constantly had opportunities to meet and chat with new travelers and locals aswell as explore Leon.
The work was super fun and social, and all the staff at the hostel were so amazing (I miss them all already!)

I spent a little under a month and had a good time. There is a little bit of misinformation in the workaway ad so I wanted to make sure some things were cleared up. You do not get two full days off, you are required to work every day. Some days are very minimal work, but you have responsibilities every day of the week. Therefore, you cannot really… read more

Cindy was the perfect volunteer, a lot of energy, always smiling and very wiling to do some extra work. She did her job (social and activities) really well and truly enjoyed it. She could have stayed a lot longer if she wanted.

These guys are the best! The passion they have for running an excellent hostel shows in everything they do, including how they work with their volunteers.
Wout & Sophie are understanding & considerate of their volunteers needs, and place a lot of importance on communication. In short, they are excellent hosts and we had a great stay in León.
