This experience was amazing! I went into it not exactly knowing what to expect, but Jackie and the other staff members made me feel right at home and explained everything what was expected of me! This place offers so much, you get to make friends from all over the world, the place you're staying is literally paradise and the work is very fun to do. I would recommend this to anyone who loves social jobs and wants to spend time in this gorgeous hostel. I'm gonna miss it a lot!!

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience! The work is straightforward and enjoyable and I had amazing coworkers and co-volunteers. The hostel is a great home base to launch your adventures in the rainforest. Jacque is a wonderful manager who wants to make sure you have an enriching experience and clearly cares about all her staff members. I highly recommend volunteering at the hostel!

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel! My job was teaching yoga every morning, helping with the events and at the bar/restaurant. Had plenty of time to explore the area and met so many great people. Would highly recommend!
