I had an amazing experience volunteering in reception at the hostel! All the staff and managers were so helpful and welcoming and were always happy to help me if I had any problems with anything. The work was pretty straightforward too. I met some lovely people whilst I was there from all over the world which was incredible. Puerto viejo itself is a chill town but there's always something to do whether you like the beach, nature or parties. Puerto Viejo and the hostel will always have a place in my heart!!

Mi primer voluntariado y dejaron la experiencia por las nubes. Se la paso muy bien, siempre se respetaron las horas de trabajo y todo lo acordado. Gerard, Mau, los extrañare mucho, el mejor equipo. Gracias por todo🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽❤️

Nuestra experiencia (voluntariando con una amiga) fue muy positiva. Desde el lado administrativo, se cumplió todo lo pactado (los trabajos, las horas, los beneficios, etc) y, en cuanto a lo personal, el trato con el staff y el resto de voluntarios fue muy bueno y, si bien aquello tiene su gramo de suerte, creemos que es un espacio seguro para plantear lo que sea necesario. El pueblo tiene muchas cosas para hacer, recomendamos volunatariar aquí si están buscando un lugar tranquilo entre tanto movimiento que tendrán fuera. Agradecidas con los dueños y todas las personas que conocimos ;)

Me voy muy contenta del hostel y lo bien recibidas que nos hemos sentido. Gracias David por recibirnos cada día con tu buena energía y asegurándote que estuviéramos cómodas. Gracias Maureen para explicarnos las tareas, lastima que no hubieran muchos guests para contribuir más pero sin duda un lugar para volver!! El espacio de la cocina renovada quedará increíble, que suerte tienen los siguientes. Pura Vida, un abrazo a todos!
