I was with my boyfriend for 3 weeks at the finca. The place is BEAUTIFUL, surrounded by nature, it is really an immersion in the environment of Costa Rica. Janus, the host, was very clear and kind about the house rules and helped us with everything we needed. We loved spending time with Ashley, his girlfriend, who was always sweet and made sure we had everything for breakfast. Rafa, the volunteers' supervisor, was flexible with our working hours. We had a private room, with a comfortable bed. The work can be a little bit hard but it's very dynamic! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING ❤️

Dear Jaqueline! Thank you very much for your support of my project. It was a pleasure hosting you. Although April was a very busy month for me and I left before you did, we could spend some quality time together and have some fun too. Have a safe trip!

Kevin was a great help around my property, he finished tasks that were not so popular and much needed and as a result we have a beautiful ceiling now. Thank you. Have a safe trip!

My wife, two young children and I had a really enjoyable experience here. The work was varied and the boss was flexible with regards to what hours we could work (I worked 'overtime' to get more days off). Talamanca and Cahuita are amazing locations and with working days being short we were able to explore and utilise the local area and beaches. The other volunteers were excellent and we all enjoyed making some new friends.

I know, I am just too busy and tired, burnt out, have to earn like 4-5000 USD on the computer to get this going, so no energy left.

We had so much fun here! Jan is really cool , he also provides some food for the volunteers. The rooms are really nice, mattresses too. The job can be tough some times, so be ready to sweat and get dirty, but only for 3 hours which go quite fast! Rafa is in charge of organizing the daily tasks and he is really cool as well. The place is huge and it is 20 mins walking to the nearest beach. There are some cats, dogs, and chickens that we used to play and walk them all the time. I totally recommend this experience , it was lovely!

GREAT EXPÉRIENCE ! The house is located in the middle of nature, from where you can observe animals 🥰 The missions consisted mostly of manual and quite physical work, pretty good physical condition is necessary! But very rewarding to see fruits of labour 🏠 Very good atmosphere with the owners and the other volunteers, and the animals are so cute! To note: - The Finca is not in Cahuita and the Park itself, it's a 1h walk or 15 min by bus. There is a cool beach at 30 min walk -The volunteers live in the house in construction, don't expect too high a standard of cleanliness!

Thank you so much Mathilde. It was a pleasure to host you. Also thank you for tolerating the lack of certain thing, but we are getting closer to the goal partly due to your excellent work.

We loved being with John so much that we returned to him! Our work consisted of "projects", an exciting variety. Cahuita is a cute little town, well worth a visit. the farm is a homey and lovely place.

Great time in the farm, Jan is a super friendly and chill owner. The place is a beautiful Finca some km far away from town of Cahuita and 1 km from the beach. At disposure a bike to share with the others volunteers. I worked mostly like gardener, simple and easy task. Helped with chicken, dogs and cats and maintenance of the house. Enough free time to enjoy beach, nature and the Cahuita town. I had a single comfortable room. All the house is under construction but you'll have the essential and many more. Thank you Jan for your hospitality and friendship. I hope see you and Rafael soon.

Jan was not physically present but was able to be available by telephone for the slightest problem. I wish I had the chance to meet him in person. His dog Tequila who we had to take care of is adorable.

Hola! Yo se, son reglas de las selva, en latinoamerica la vida es dura, ni se preocupan por vida humana, menos animales, con murcielagos no se puede hacer nada, son parte de la naturaleza. Se escribio esto en las reglas. Gracias por todos modos.

Really friendly people with lovely dogs and cats! Could do with more structure on what tasks they would like the volunteers to complete. Overall a good experience!

Dear Chloe! I gave you complete freedom as when you would like to do your jobs and also much less, than was expected. I don't understand the 3 points. I though you had a good time. You also came later and left earlier, which means I lost workhours, still I have good ratings, as you were nice and made a clean job. I hope you will find better opportunities for your taste in the future.
