I had a great time - It's a small hostel with a laid back vibe. The work is easy and the exchange fair. The weekly groceries are a good base with rice, beans, pasta, veggies and fruits etc. If you come for the surfing, be aware that this is an advanced break. The beginner/intermediate one is 10min by moto/car/ATV. There is a bus but to be flexible you kinda need an own transportation. Federica is direct and open which makes it easy to set expectations with her. It's noticable that she's passionate about the hostel and its success, as well as my experience as volunteer there. Thanks 🫶🏻

Best experience ever here in the hostel! 🩵 I spent three months there and felt welcomed from day one. Shout out toFederica, the manager, is truly amazing! Organised, supportive, and genuinely caring. She's managing everything in a respectful and professional way. Working at reception was something new for me, but I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. It's also a great place to improve your Spanish If you are looking for a chill and relaxing place while meeting people all over the world, this is the right place to be. The accommodation, food, and location were all excellent! Definitely recommend it!

Alice has been the soul of our hostel during her time here. Always willing to help, proactive, and reliable, she brought a wonderful energy to the team every day. She was naturally friendly and welcoming with our guests, creating genuine connections and making everyone feel at home. Beyond being an amazing volunteer, she also became a good friend, and we are truly grateful for the time we shared with her. We would highly recommend her to any host!

I had such a great time volunteering at the hostel!💞 Federica, the host, is an amazing person. She organizes everything in a really clear and fair way, so you always know what to do, but at the same time the atmosphere stays super chill and friendly. I worked at reception and learned a lot, especially because it was my first time doing this kind of job. Being in contact with people from all over the world every day made the whole experience even more special and enriching. Accomodation, location and food were perfect. Truuuly reccomend!

Elettra was a wonderful volunteer to have at our hostel. Kind, polite, and incredibly attentive in her work, she always completed every task with care and precision. She was sweet and thoughtful with our guests, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere around her. Her genuine personality made her very special to have in the team, and over time she also became a good friend. We are very grateful for her help and would happily recommend her to any future host!

This was my first volunteering experience and it honestly couldn't have been better. I felt at home from the very beginning. Marco and Federica are super kind and welcoming, always listening, always making sure you feel good and comfortable. The whole staff is amazing, really friendly and fun to be around. The hostel is super clean, well located, and has such a great vibe. It's the perfect place to meet people and feel part of something. I'm really grateful for the time I spent there, it was an incredible experience and I'd definitely recommend it! PURA VIDA 🫶🏼

During her stay as a volunteer, Cami showed a serious attitude, always maintaining a respectful approach in her communication with the team and the guests. She completed the assigned tasks and kept a discreet presence within the hostel.

We value the time she spent with us and her way of working independently. We wish her all the best in her future projects.

My experience at the hostel was very good. It is a small, quiet and friendly hostel, with easy work and a lot of focus on treating guests well. The shared kitchen is nice for socializing and the room has large beds and A/C. The beach is nearby, there are surfboards and discounts on tours. They also do weekly purchases for volunteers, a great plus. I loved the off-season and I think a month is enough time to enjoy the experience without it becoming repetitive.
