It was my first experience volunteering and it was amazing! The hostel is in a great area surrounded by nature, you get to meet travelers, make friends with them. The job is not hard and Estefanie (the host) is a great leader. I will cherish my memories at the hostel for the rest of my life!!! I'll definitely be coming back! ;))

Pretty unforgettable ❤️ Drake Bay is very cool. If your into nature you will love it. Lots of beaches to explore and animals to see. The hostel itself is surrounded by nature and has a very chilled atmosphere. The shifts are very fair and not strenuous. the hostel team are lovely people, super kind, welcoming and a lot of fun. I had the opportunity to join in on a couple of their tours which was a big plus :)

I had a great time at the hostel! The people I met were super kind and welcoming. Working there was really fun and also came with responsibilities. The hours were flexible and there is a lot of nature to explore in the area or you can just relax at one of many beaches in your free time. I would definitely recommend it!

The hostel is a beautiful place, you're surrounded by nature and local animals. The walk to town is short, and the isolated grounds let you feel the full impact of the jungle. They are also a tour company and the staff is great about showing you around and letting you join in on tours when there's space.
