We are in process of building a bed & breakfast in Caribbean Costa Rica. We also have a beautiful garden on the same place and chicken, cats, dogs. Everything is still in process, so we would need help in any fields here; construction, gardening and domestic animal care. The place is not luxury, but we have nice rooms, running hot water and a community kitchen. We do not need receptionists, bar tenders and we do not cultivate bio and perma!

Staying with Jan, Rafa, Volleys, lovely pets , couldn't have been more enjoyable. Such a peaceful and friendly place to be (perhaps the howler monkeys and roosters weren't so peaceful haha ). No really the environment and location was super chill and laid back. Helping Jan and Rafa with the garden and pets and a little bit of plumbing and cleaning was a pleasure. Flexible hours and clear communication and compromise when needed made my tasks enjoyable and rewarding. . The accomodation exceeded my expectations by far also. Six stars out of 5

The property itself is beautiful, peaceful and surrounded by nature(just a little bit dirty and it's a lot of ants) The work is light and manageable, mainly garden maintenance, sweeping leaves and cleaning the villas. Also communication with the host was difficult. Jan does not live here, and when issues came up, I often felt he strongly defended the longterm workers rather than understanding the short term volunteers. The shared kitchen could also be frustrating, as dirty dishes were often left in the sink with no one taking responsibility for them. The location is quite isolated

This is not a five-star hotel, dear Miki. Volunteers who stayed with us in the past were happy even with more basic conditions. I wish you good luck and peace.
Ants are part of the environment—we are in the jungle. If something is dirty, it can be cleaned. We understand that you volunteered partly for this.
Gabriel was responsible for the volunteers. He is usually a sweetheart and often goes well beyond his responsibilities, which also included providing you with free transportation.

House is beautiful with nice upper deck to chill. My personal space/room was very nice as well. Working hours were respected. Working tasks normal. I was helping cleaning and maintaining house and area around it. I really enjoyed my daily walks (mostly in shade) to the beach (about 20min) and further to Cahuita. Really easy to encounter lots wildlife in cahuita park ( donation based!!) and surrounding area as well. Sloths, big Iguanas, Koati, crocodiles, sea turtles, birds, frogs, monkeys, snakes, raccoons itc. Caribbean area I found really nice, chill and beautiful. Thankful .

I spent 2 weeks as a volunteer. The house has great potential, close to the sea and with great spaces. Unfortunately it is very dirty and unkempt and the owner doesn't seem to be interested. We didn't have tap water for a few days (the house's water reserve isn't proportional to the amount of people the house can accomodate). The working hours were respected but sometimes the work required may not be suitable for the volunteer. I was warned that many volunteers before me had left before the scheduled date and I don't understand why no one wrote a review. I hope the general conditions improve.
