This hostal is great, the shifts are fair and you will have plenty of time to do what you want and explore Santa Ana. Everyone is really lovely and when I was there the other volunteers we’re a lot of fun. Erika is Súper flexible if you have something come up or want to switch something. I got some free events which was really fun, free laundry, free drinks at the bar, and $20 for working enough hours! Sometimes the bar is full of volunteers so you may also work just in the hostal running some events or cleaning.

Really enjoyed our placement here at Urban Nest! The hostel is so homey - there are starfruit, lime, and avocado trees which you can pick from, the kitchen is so convenient, and it all feels super comfy. The team is wonderful, both other reception and at the bar - super friendly and easy chats. Erika is also an amazing host, even though she isn’t physically here, she’s a great communicator and is always quick to answer any queries. Will definitely miss this place!

I had a wonderful time here and got to really practice my Spanish which was one of my main goals of volunteering. I did not stay at the hostel for my stay here which is totally fine because Rick's hostel was an amazing stay and has amazing people that I got to meet there. I worked my shift from 7-12am with one day 7-11pm. I enjoyed spending time with the staff at Rick's hostel and the staff at Chicken bus bar. The Bar is separate from the hostel and is a about a 5 minute walk from both UrbanNest and Rick's hostel. Feel free to msg me with any questions:)

Volunteering at the hostel was a good experience! Tasks and hours were respected, and the team was always available to help me or answer my questions. The team and other volunteers made my experience unique :) Even though Erika was not physically in town, she was always available and great at communicating. I definitely recommend volunteering here if you'd like to immerse yourself in the local culture, have fun, connect with local and other travelers :)

The hostel and Santa Ana were so welcoming! Even only being there a few weeks, I felt part of a community and made friends with travellers and locals alike. The bar work is fun and it makes it so easy to chat and get to know people! Also super good to practice Spanish because lots of locals come to the bar.

Great place to volunteer! The hostel has been pretty quiet (low season), but that means that when the guests come together everyone gets to know everyone which has been super nice. The staff are lovely and Erika always tries to accommodate any requests I make about the hours. The hostel itself is muyy bonito, there is a cool roof terrace, fruit trees and hummingbirds in the garden, showers where you can choose the temperature, a well-equipped kitchen, laundry that volunteers can use, and regular events like game nights, cooking classes etc. Volunteers are also given $20 per week for groceries!

I volunteered at the hostel and really enjoyed my time there. The hostel was quiet and peaceful, which I appreciated. The work was fair, and the staff were kind, respectful, and supportive. The owner was also great—very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd definitely recommend it to other volunteers.
