The Experience

La tarea principal es la recepción, recibiendo, haciendo cobros y ubicando a los viajeros en las habitaciones, tambien dandoles una charla de las actividades que pueden hacer en La Fortuna. En los momentos en los que no hay check in te pediremos que mantengas el orden de las areas comunes y que nos ayudes doblando sabanas. Es muy importante ser amable con los huespedes y hacer que se sientan comodos.

My time at Pure Vitra Hostel was super chill! Analia is a very sweet and funny person and I'm glad we met. I appreciated her openness to my ideas and her flexibility overall. The hostel is very clean and well taken care of and I felt super comfortable there. My work consisted of max. 2 hours of yoga classes per day, sometimes only one hour and assisting some activities like setting up the space for a movie night, so I had lot's of time to explore the area. Overall I'm very grateful for the exchange we had and look forward to seeing her again! Mucho amor, gracias por todo! <3

I had a great experience at the hostel! The tasks were clear, and easy to do : check in of the guests, payements, laundry for the guests...ect. If you have doubt, Ana always answers quickly and is willing to help. Apart from the job, I had a lot of free time to do activities - especially with the discounts the volunteers have during their stay - and there is a lot do around La Fortuna (hiking around the volcano Arenal, waterfall, river, Rio celeste...etc)! I reccomend for travellers who want to have free accomodation, discounts on tours, and are able to work 5h/5 days a week! :)

My time at the hostel was very chill. The hostel is super comfy and clean, and through my work at the reception I could connect with other travellers easily. The tasks were simple and explained well. Anytime there was a problem, Ana was usually there to help, although once there was an unusual situation that I didn't know how to handle bc she didn't explain it in advance. Only downside: You can't do that much in La Fortuna without having to pay quite a bit for the tours. So it's really nice that volunteers get discounts, but it still adds up if you want to da lot of things.

I really enjoyed each day of staying in La Fortuna. The work and tasks are easy to accomplish throughout the shift. Ana is so kind and understanding, she helped me with the hundreds of questions I always had. She'll always be available for any situation that may come up. There's a lot of time to explore and walk through the center of the town and the discounts you get as a volunteer for tours are really nice as well! The fans and curtains on each bed are very much appreciated and it makes you feel like you have a lot of privacy. I'll always remember my time here and the buenas vibras, thank u!
