The hostel was my home for a month. Everything was great. The work team Viola, Fer and Carlitos are very kind and take care that you feel comfortable from the first moment you enter. I also spent a lot of time with the volunteers. The hostel is nice, with a lot of space. The shifts, once you enter into the routine, are not heavy and you will have a lot of time to enjoy the Caribbean. Puerto Viejo is BEAUTIFUL, it is a place I will carry in my heart. They give you a bike with which you can explore all the beaches around. That place gives me a great sense of peace and many good moments. I hope to return ❤️

Giada, what a pleasure it was to have you on the team with us!

We really enjoyed that special blend of seriousness and fun. You always had a smile or a song to make us laugh and to make each day more enjoyable.

You did an excellent job with the tasks and you helped us a lot to create a teamwork-focused, trusting, and family-like work environment.
We miss you and sincerely hope that someday you’ll come back to visit us. The doors will always be open!

It really was an experience that I will carry in my heart! From before my arrival I felt good and welcomed talking with Vi; then upon arrival, the reception from all the teammates was very kind. There is humanity in every person at the hostel. I had the pleasure of meeting Dave, one of the owners, and he is a wonderful, friendly person, with super good vibes, like everyone in that place! There is patience to teach, willingness to talk about anything, and also time to have fun and share among everyone. I 100% recommend this lovely place. I will return without a doubt!

The hostel tiene una energía muy especial. Es un hostel hermoso con un parque grande lleno de vegetación. Los espacios compartidos son amplios, cómodos y limpios. La cocina muy bien equipada. Cuenta con un servicio de lavandería por semana. Las camas son cómodas. Las tareas de recepción y limpieza son sencillas. Te dan una bici libre. Lo mejor de todo es el trato de parte de Viola, Dave y Dannie, siempre con buena comunicación y con mucho cariño. Es un lugar súper recomendable para hacer voluntariado. PD: los gatitos y perritos de the hostel son lo más

Haber vivido en el hostel fue una experiencia inolvidable. Realmente es un lugar maravilloso. Las tareas son claras y nada pesadas. El trato es justo. Convives con animales que harán tu día mejor (Artemisa y Ra los amo!) Hay espacio para dar clases de Yoga si eres profe y también si querés hacer algún taller interesante y que sume al espacio. Sobran espacios verdes, nunca falta el cafecito y los bananos. Gracias por tanto.
