The experience in the hostel was amazing! The hostel is a really nice and complete place to stay (well equiped kitchen, free laundry, gym) where you can you can meet people from all over the world and practice your Spanish with all staff (they are really lovely and kind). The work is easy and well organized and the hostel is near to the city center so you can da lot of things in your free time. The owner Alex is the best, really friendly, caring and helpful! Thank so much for everything! Totally recommend this experience!! If you need tips about Fortuna, don't hesitate to reach me out!

I stayed at the hostel 3 weeks and I really enjoyed my time here. The work schedule allows you to have time to explore and do activities and Alex is very flexible if you need to change a shift. The tasks are easy (mostly reception work), before coming I was scared it would be hard since my Spanish is not very good but every one was patient and really nice and I improved a lot! Alex is very sweet and makes you feel really welcome and is always there to help you if you need something during the shift. I had a lot of fun going on adventures with the other volunteers and clients from the hostel.

This was an excellent volunteering experience, Alex (the owner) makes you feel fully welcomed and home. the hostel is a beautiful place with a great environment. Working hours are flexible enough to get to know all around La Fortuna. A very clean and comfortable place which really encourages to do the work. Fully recommended :)

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions of my life. I spent magical moments there.The team is incredibly kind and welcoming and have always been very patient with my low level of Spanish. The tasks were interesting and the schedule accommodating to visit the surroundings. The place is super nice, with a friendly atmosphere, many places to relax or meet travelers from all over the world. I will never forget the intercultural and joyful moments shared with the team, the other volunteers and the guests. Thank you for everything Alex, Nati, Oscar, Natalia, Sandra and Nala.
