The environment and people of the hostel are super social and cozy. Of course, you will probably have to sleep in a tent, because the volunteers dormitory is usually full, but that was no problem for me. Work at the Finca is definitely hard and physical work, but first of all it is only two days a week and secondly Tom, the owner always allows you to take care of yourself, so if you need a break, you can take a break. All in all, it was a wonderful and informative experience. In the few weeks, I met some of the kindest people ever. 💚Pura Vida💚

The experience was amazing! I stayed for four weeks with a friend, and we met so many nice people. Candela, the manger, is such a nice and helpful person, and really makes you feel comfortable in the work space. Puerto Viejo is also really nice and the hostel is located perfectly between the town and the Playa Cocles. The hostel is quite small, so it's possible that there are not many guests, but it's still nice to just chill around. The work is also really easy and the working hours are also really flexible. It was a great experience!!

I was at the hostel for 3-4 weeks with a friend of mine. We had such a good time and felt sooo comfortable there. The work was really easy and fair! Candela the manager is super nice and sweet and there for everything we needed! I also liked the location because it was very near the center and only a 15 minute walk to the big Cocles beach! I highly recommend going there to have a great time!

Our experience at the hostel was great. Working in hostel wasn't hard, Cande-the manager is the best and she helped us a lot and explain everything. She and other nice people were highlight of our stay. The hostel is in good location, close to the see. The volunteers are staying in their own room, but sometimes it can be full and first days we were in common room with hostel guests. Also when you go as a pair you do not work at the same time, but we always get asked if schedule is okay and what days do we want our free time together. We would recomend this❤️
