Like so many hostels, COVID had a big impact, but as if dealing with that wasn\u2019t enough, war broke out on Armenia\u2019s border with neighbouring Azerbaijan in September 2020. This compassionate and fast-acting team opened its doors to humans no longer safe in their homes. Housing around 40 refugees, mainly women and children, the team hosted fundraising events and reached out to their global connections, to ensure they could feed and clothe their guests. The team travelled to nearby villages and assessed impacted families\u2019 needs, helped find employment, bought Christmas gifts and a sewing machine, enabling one new guest to earn an income making bed linen. The war has now ended, but due to bomb damage Envoy continues to shelter those who need it. The team say their global community of travellers gave them the support, warmth, and encouragement to keep going.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"cta_buttons\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/submit.link\/hostelworld\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"button orange\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"text-color: #FFF; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>VOTE for Envoy Hostel<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/La-Bicicleta-Hostal\/Managua\/93735\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">La Bicicleta Hostal<\/a> (Nicaragua)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128436 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/La-Bicicleta.jpeg\" alt=\"People waiting on the road near La Bicicleta Hostal, nominated for extraordinary community and social impact hostels award\" width=\"900\" height=\"733\"><\/p>\n<p>This cosy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/findabed.php\/ChosenCity.Managua\/ChosenCountry.Nicaragua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">hostel in Managua<\/a> packs a big dose of community spirit into its 5-room hostel. Facing a triple crisis in 2020, Nicaragua battled the ongoing violent socio-political unrest, COVID-19, and then Hurricane Etta, closely followed by Hurricane Lota. Local communities of the Tola region heavily rely on tourism which had evaporated and many homes were destroyed, with 3,300 families unable to access drinking water. La Bicicleta Hostal partnered with other local businesses to find a long-term fix, fundraising for water filters, a sustainable and scalable solution. They managed to buy 176 water filter units, giving families access to clean water. The team at La Bicicleta are thankful to travellers who\u2019d stayed with them in the past for supporting the initiative and helping them to create a chain of solidarity.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"cta_buttons\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/submit.link\/hostelworld\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"button orange\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"text-color: #FFF; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>VOTE for La Bicicleta Hostal<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Hostel-da-Vila\/Ilhabela\/265675\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Hostel da Villa<\/a> (Brazil)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128439 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hostel-de-villa-small.jpg\" alt=\"Two surfers in brazil sponsored by Hostel de Villa, nominated for extraordinary community and social impact hostels award\" width=\"903\" height=\"619\"><\/p>\n<p>Hostel de Villa is a ten out of ten hostel, found in Ilhabela Brazil, where travellers stay in treehouses and teepees.
