The Experience

The main job you'll be doing while on shift is promoting the hostel. This entails heading to the bus stop when certain buses are arriving Montañita, for which we give $1 commission for each person. When not at the bus you will be helping out in the hostel. This is making sure that the communal areas are clean, the bathrooms and kithcens are ordered and manning the reception helping any guests that come by.

The hostel was the ideal place to get to know amazing people from all around the world. It is a place where you can always find something to do and go out any day of the week since Montañita really is a place for partying. My tasks were pretty easy at the hostel since I only had to take care of the different events at our hostel and do promotion for the open bars we had at our place which were open for the public. Its the perfect job to connect with locals and travellers from whole montañita. If you like meeting a lot of new people and going out, i would definietly recommend this place!

I had fantastic time, spending almost 2 months in the hostel, the place is almost as interesting as montanita itself. Best place if you are looking for good party and surfing in the. Special thanks to José, Slaighther and Blanca. Thank you for everything i'll be back

I had a amazing expérience here! It where long hours. But the atmosphère was very good. The staff was super nice and helped me with everything. The tasks are easy once you understand. The helped me with my spanish but also with getting to know montañita! I really loved it here and i for sure want to come back an other time. It is a party hostal so you should like to party and have a go big or go home mentality. But thats for montañita in general the mentality ;).

Had an amazing time working there, the working days were long but I liked the people, place, vibe. There was no food included but that wasn't a problem 'cuz there is a little mini markets around were food wasn't expensive at all. the kitchen was PERFECT, as well as the rest of the accommodations. Watching iguanas falling from the trees was a everyday show, as well as watching Jack (un gato gris, gordo y belloooo) sleeping. If Montañita gets too much for you there is alway, Olon, Ayampe, los frailes and other beautiful beaches to visit. Love the hostel, Love Montañita.
