Maria and Matias were amazing hosts, always trying make our experience the best it could be. The free surf lesson is a big plus, and they took us surfing again with them multiple times after that - you only had to rent a board. the guest house is a small surf hostel that was pretty chill during my stay in the green season, but I had a good time with the other volunteers. That being said, I really enjoyed my stay, so don't let that keep you from applying!

I really enjoyed my time at the guest house 😊 Mati and Maria are great hosts, the house is super cosy and I met lots of great people there. The work is easy and fun. I got a good introduction on my first day and a schedule with all my work hours. But if I wanted to switch something it wasn't a problem at all 😊 I also got the opportunity to learn how to surf and really enjoyed that I would definitely recommend the place :)

The guest house is a beautiful place to volunteer at, is situated in the middle of Tamarindo so you can visit the town and go to the nearby beach walking. The job is easy, the onwers are kind and will help you with whatever you need! Tamarindo is a turisty place, so if you like a beach town with lots of bars, restaurants and people this is the place for you.

I really enjoyed my time at the guest house! The hostel is quite small which creates a nice homely atmosphere. The work was okay and the town is really cute. I also really appreciate the opportunity to learn the basics in surfing! Definitely recommend if you want something homey and calm.

My experience at the guest house was really good, it is a beautiful guest house, Maria and Maria are really nice people and are always checking on you, the tasks are easy to do , it's a bit of cleaning and reception, they are organized and since day one they provided me with the shifts I had to take during the week so I could organize the activities I wanted to do during my stay, they also gave me the opportunity to take surf lessons which was amazing! Tamarindo is a really touristic place so you see more foreigners than locals but if you go to the towns nearby you can get a more local experience.
