Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions I made! Mayra and Rene are really amazing people! They always make sure that you are feeling welcome and help you with everything. I rarely met anyone like them. As soon as you arrive you already feel like a family! I can recommend this experience with my full heart. Already miss them, lots of love🫶🏼

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing! Amazing place, surrounded by animals and nature, really quite and relaxing and I always felt really safe! At the same time, I got to know a lot of people, for all over the world, make friends and practice my english. Mayra and Renne really became friends (miss you guys) and work and learn with them was awesome! And last but not least, the experience of the tours and safaris that I went with them was amazing, a unique experience! Thank you for all guys, love my hostel (house) away from home!

Giovanna was an exceptional volunteer! She was very proactive and always helping us in any way she could! Her social media skills are excellent, she's a great photographer too. She was always ready for any situation and any area, completely multitasking and cooks very well. I recommend her with closed eyes! We're already missing you, Gi! You'll always be welcome and part of the family! Beijos Gi, se cuida

I had such wonderful days at the hostel! It was my second experience with worldpackers and definitely the best choice I could have made. The work is simple and you can make the most of the place while you're there, as well as always being surrounded by nature and cute animals that come to visit. Mayra, Rene, and Devon are amazing, fun people and are always available to help with whatever you need. I want to thank once again for the opportunity, and I 100% recommend this experience!!!! ☺️☺️

This was my second trip with Worldpackers and it was my favorite! The word to sum it up is unreal, you live among zebras and giraffes it's absolutely incredible. I was lucky to be selected to paint for the hostel. I gave the best of myself and hope they'll be happy with my work. I obviously recommend this place, mayra and renee are really great!
