I enjoyed every moment of being at this Hostel! Mike is a great host and is also very kind and caring. If I needed anything I knew I could ask him for help or recommendations. I enjoyed the hostel volunteers and environment. I learned new recipes, perspectives on life and new ways to communicate my ideas and express myself to others from other cultures. I connected with the locals beautifully. Learning soccer, surfing and the local culture and community. This was my first volunteer opportunity and I am so inspired. Thank you for everything Mike and the many volunteers I connected with ❤️🥳 fam

My experience at the hostel was second to none. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the venue was beautiful, secluded and quiet but close enough to the town to walk down to enjoy the beach or the crazy the hostel nightlife. Tasks were straightforward and instructions were clear. Mike shared lots of valuable information about things to do in the area. I had the most amazing time here, made forever friends and memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. the hostel is a very unique place, a bucket list destination! I will be returning to the hostel very soon as I can't stay away.

My experience was great! Mike, the manager, is super chill, the other volunteers were super chill, and the work is super chill. Overall, it is a very relaxed and drama-free work environment. Everything is super organized, and you'll never question whether you're doing a good job or not because your tasks are written out in front of you. You'll have plenty of time to see Montañita, plenty of time to do any remote work, and the volunteering expectations are very clear. It really is what volunteering should be. I would've stayed longer if I could have!

Our stay at at the hostel was beyond the initial expectations we held. Montañita is known for the wild parties, beautiful beaches nearby, and the amazing surfing. the hostel separates itself form the wild side and offers a place of tranquility and kindness which in turn allowed us to remotely work efficiently, learn spanish openly, and relax. The work was relaxing and orderly with hours being respected and tasks being clear. Shout-out to Alicia & Nasly(Julio y Nancy) being so kind and helpful to us as well as Mike for being a efficient and trusting Manager.
