The host, Tom, is very kind and knowledgeable about his project and plants. Our main task was building natural steps and paths on a steep, muddy hill, which was challenging, especially with the daily rain. Being in good shape helps, as the work is physical and messy.
Accommodation is basic, so bringing quality camping gear especially a waterproof tent is essential. While conditions were tough at times, the hostel manager was very kind and provided a tarp and mattresses to help make our stay more comfortable.

I was a volunteer at the farm for 2 weeks and it was an interesting experience ! We worked with Tom, the owner of the hostel. He’s very kind and passionate about nature, so we got to learn a lot of new things (like superfood). The hostel and it’s staff/volunteers were great, very welcoming and helpful. I really recommend this volunteering experience to people who enjoy nature, like camping, don’t mind hard work in all conditions (rain/sun) and don’t mind getting dirty. Advice: make sure your tent is waterproof !! Overall it was a good experience although the work is quite intense.

I had an amazing experience volunteering at Oasis Beachfront Hostel in Puerto Viejo! I loved it so much that I extended my stay :)
Candela, the manager, along with the other volunteers, were adorable, and made me feel part of a new family from the 1st day.
The hostel itself is beautiful, perfectly situated between the beach and the jungle, and it’s full of amazing animals like sloths and monkeys! The volunteer work was super relaxed, and Candela was always so accommodating and supportive. I couldn't recommend this place more – it’s a special spot with a warm and welcoming vibe!

Disfrute mucho la llegada de Anastasia, ella se incorporó rápido en el equipo y aporto todo lo que necesitamos en el hogar.
Su calidez hizo sentir a cada huésped en casa, siempre atenta y predispuesta a lo que se necesite.
Definitivamente recomendamos a Ana para que tengan una excelente experiencia junto a ella.
Muchas gracias Ani, ojalá tu hubieses quedado más tiempo, te vamos a extrañar.

The environment and people of the hostel are super social and cozy. Of course, you will probably have to sleep in a tent, because the volunteers dormitory is usually full, but that was no problem for me.

Work at the Finca is definitely hard and physical work, but first of all it is only two days a week and secondly Tom, the owner always allows you to take care of yourself, so if you need a break, you can take a break.

All in all, it was a wonderful and informative experience. In the few weeks, I met some of the kindest people ever.

The experience was amazing! I stayed for four weeks with a friend, and we met so many nice people. Candela, the manger, is such a nice and helpful person, and really makes you feel comfortable in the work space. Puerto Viejo is also really nice and the hostel is located perfectly between the town and the Playa Cocles. The hostel is quite small, so it’s possible that there are not many guests, but it’s still nice to just chill around. The work is also really easy and the working hours are also really flexible. It was a great experience!!
