Our volunteer program is all about meeting people, learning new skills, and enjoying the Costa Rican lifestyle while becoming part of our hostel family. You’ll help us keep things running smoothly and create a great experience for our guests. In return, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore Manuel Antonio, enjoy the beaches, discover hiking trails, see monkeys and wildlife, or simply relax by the pool. We love friendly, positive people who enjoy working as a team!
Your schedule is 5 hours per day, 5 days a week, with 2 days off to enjoy the area. Shifts may include morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on the hostel’s needs. Tasks can include housekeeping, breakfast preparation and service, welcoming guests, reception, keeping common areas organized, and general help around the hostel. We try to organize the schedule in advance so you know your working hours and can plan your days off and activities.
We simply ask our volunteers to be respectful, responsible, friendly, and willing to help wherever needed. Please arrive on time, keep shared spaces clean, respect our guests and other volunteers, and communicate openly with the team. Our hostel is a relaxed and peaceful place rather than a party hostel, so we ask everyone to be mindful of noise, especially at night, and to respect the atmosphere we want to create for our guests and volunteers. Come ready to work, make friends, and enjoy a relaxed Costa Rican adventure!
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
