I had a really good time at the hostel. Johnny the manager was super nice and patient with me even though my spanish isn't that good, he took the time to explain me everything slowly and made sure I understood everything I needed to do. The hours of work are respected and the tasks are easy. Braian the other volunteer became a big brother for me. They made my stay really comfortable, very grateful for them!

I had a fantastic time volunteering at the hostel and thoroughly enjoyed my month here. The work is as described on the profile - there are three 4 hour shifts a day which you rotate between with the other volunteers, covering the reception and house cleaning duties. The team are great and the hostel really has a community feel to it. It was the perfect combination of chill, beach, surf and the infamous Montanita nightlife is only a walking distance away. The owner Jorge is always around to answer questions and help. Thank you Jorge and team for a great experience☺️

The shifts are as pre agreed by both parts! You will rotate with other volunteers the reception, breakfast and cleaning shifts. The hostel is very chill, with very nice employes wich makes the difference in the hostel's vibe. I had such a great time in the hostel and had to extend twice my staying haha Jorge, the owner, is always around, which makes easier if you have any doubts, problems or everything. He is also very opened to ideas and changes if is needed. Thank you all for receiving me and I hope to see you around Ecuador!

The best place to volunteer in montañita, because is 30sec until the Beach and surf spot, next to the Supermarket and bus station, is quite enough to sleep well at night, but Just 4 min walking until Downtown and the party spot; has hot shower, good volunteer's room, an amazing View from the rooftop, breakfast with bread, marmelada, pineapple, watermelon and banana everyday, perfect shifts with 5 days 4h, 1 day 6h and 1 day free, the tasks are easy and the manager, Jhonny, makes you feel home, Pepe the security gard is a good guy as well, hostel perfect for who wants to surf, chill and party!
