I couldn't have asked for a better experience in Mendoza. Since day one, I felt very welcomed. the hostel is more than a hostel, is our home, and all guests and volunteers are like family. The hostel is well located, close to bars and restaurants. I had an amazing time here. The tasks and hours are very well organized, and taking care of Tortita 🐶 was the best task ever. Thanks Mati for trusting and welcoming me these last weeks. I wish all the best for you and the hostel family!

A place that feels like home💗 I highly recommend the hostel The hours of work and task are easy so fulfill and the staff is amazing. If you feel like organizing an event in the hostel, Mati helps you to make your plans reality. It's located near all the bars and supermarkets etc, but still very quit as it is next to a park. Mati makes sure you feel welcome and safe. I definitely will come back 🍇🍷

When I arrived in Mendoza, I was so surprised about the city. I'm Brazilian and it was my first international experience. Staying in the hostel was incredible. Also, the hostel is near Plaza Italia, which is so beautiful. We had a strong team and Matias is like Wonka and the team as Umpa Lumpa 🤣❤️ Today I can say that we develop a family there. Parents from Germany and sons from Netherlands, Argentina and Brazil, all of us as volunteers. It's necessary to do good work and I feel that I know more about how volunteering works. I'm very grateful 🥰
