I would highly recommend volunteering with Leisy + everyone at the hostel. From the accommodation to the food, to the many lovely people you meet this was an amazing experience. I was here for around a month and loved every bit of it, I only wish I'd learnt more Spanish before I came! If you're looking to be surrounded by nice people in a heavenly location, don't hesitate! Also all of the local people are all so kind and welcoming - I felt at ease the moment I got here. You're located just a 2 minute walk from the beach + there's taxi's if you want to commute around. I will be coming again

El hostel me ha robado el cuerpo, el alma y el corazón! Venía por un mes y aún sigo aquí de voluntaria, así que ya os podéis hacer una idea de lo increíble que está siendo mi experiencia! 100% PARADISE. El lugar es precioso, tanto el hostel, como el Valle-Samaná está cargado de energía positiva, paz y armonía. La gente es maravillosa, os va a encantar la cultura de aquí. Animo a todos a venir y contribuir a este maravilloso proyecto, prometo que va a superar cualquier expectativa. Por cierto, Leisy es la mejor jefa del mundo y el staff los mejores compañeros. GRACIAS POR TANTO,OS AMO

Mi experiencia en el hostel ha sido increíble, trabajé en jardinería con compañeros maravillosos que me estuvieron enseñando sobre las diferentes plantas que hay en el huerto y cómo cuidarlas correctamente, siempre estaban disponibles para ayudarme si necesitaba algo. Leisy me recibió con los brazos abiertos y nada más llegar me sentí como en casa, las instalaciones son súper cómodas y tienes todo lo necesario y un espacio cómodo para tus cosas. La comida es todo saludable y tienes todo lo que necesitas en el caso de necesitar algo más siempre se puede ir a la ciudad. Lo recomiendo 100%
