Staying at the hostel was excellent. I had a great time connecting with people there. Miriam did an amazing job holding down the fort, Ozzy is an amazing surfing coach, highly recommend taking a lesson. And of course Rita, Tito, and the other cat were a pleasure. Everything was very chill, not a lot of guests, so I had the opportunity to work on some handy person projects. Overall a great stay and experience, muchas gracias Yarin 🙏🏼

I had the best experience volunteering at the hostel :) Everyone was so kind and fun and I immediately felt like I found a home away from home. My only regret was not staying longer! The volunteering work was super chill and I had plenty of time to explore Punta Hermosa, surf, and eat lots of good food! I hope to make it back one day :)

Bravo Hostels is truly a treasure! We felt right at home. Yarin is incredibly welcoming and kind. We loved spending time with his adorable pets and it was nice to connect with the other volunteers as well. The tasks were reasonable and fairly agreed on beforehand. The overall vibe was relaxed and family-like. We had an amazing experience from start to finish and highly recommend this place. 10/10, thank you!

It was a amazing first volunteering experience! Yarin and Dylan were the Best! Total chill and understanding. The Hostel was a perfect place to feel like home! Sadly the waves were very high for beginners so i could only surf once. Also are the Surflessons am little bit expensive:)) But Felipe is a incredible Surfteacher so it is worth it.
