I had an amazing experience volunteering at the hostel! The work was easy (mostly reception and housekeeping) and the hours were good to still be able to explore Drake Bay! Alejandro & Lucia were great hosts/managers. They both made sure I was good & explained tasks well. The staff dorm I stayed in was amazing. I got to do some of the tours offered by the hostel as well. The only downside was that the power would go off and on sometimes but not the hostels fault, I did go during rainy season too! Overall I had a great time & would recommend the experience to others!

The most incredible experience! This was my first time volunteering so I was really nervous at first but as soon as I arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. Drake Bay is astonishingly beautiful and the people are so friendly. David was very welcoming and easy to get along with. He has many crazy stories that inspire you to live life to the fullest. Alejandro and everyone else at the hostel were so fun and helpful. I made some truly unforgettable memories and great friends. If you are an open spirit and looking for adventure, this is the place for you! Pura Vida!

I had a wonderful time in Drake Bay, everyone is very welcoming and fun to work with. Dorms were great, I recommend bringing a hand held fan it will be very hot no matter the time of year. Structure of tasks were a little unclear but manageable. I genuinely enjoyed my stay and will miss the friends I made!

I had a great time at the hostel! Everyone was respectful and friendly. Thank you for having me and making me feel so included. Staying in the jungle was fantastic as you see new animals all the time and really connect with nature.

The hostel felt like home to me. The environment is absolutely stunning. Thanks to the tours they offer and all the activities going on, you really get the chance to explore the area. The tasks can vary a lot, depending on the role you apply for. The team is very open to new ideas and encourages you to realize them. At times, things could use a bit more structure, especially when it comes to tasks in the hostel, but the experience overall was amazing. I met incredible people and truly appreciate everything I learned during my time there. This place will always hold a special spot in my heart.

I stayed a month at the hostel and it was a big surprise. It was my first time in Costa Rica and I discovered the true beauty of this country. It's a quiet place in the heart of the jungle, it was a very good discovery, like something I've never known before. The work is easy, but for me, the schedule needs more organization. The staff is really nice and I had such a good time being part of the hostel family. I highly recommend it to someone looking for an unforgettable experience. Also get ready to live in the middle of the jungle and in a small town.

My time at the hostel was amazing. It was my first volunteer experience and definitely succeeded my expectations. Although the volunteer do get a lot of responsibility, the schedule was kept fair and you had enough time to explore beautiful Drake Bay on your days off. Thank you to everyone at the hostel for making me feel so welcome and at home!
