Volunteering in the hostel was an amazing experience, everyone treats you like family as soon as you step inside. India is a wonderful person and a great manager, making this hostel a home for everyone. The tasks are easy and the vibe is really chill, creating a great energy both to socialize and to relax 🌸 definitely recommend!🫶🏾

I had a great time here! The tasks were simple and clearly explained. The beach is only a 10-minute walk from the hostel, and at the hostel, there are plenty of outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing or reading. It was especially fun having other volunteers around, we often went to the beach together. It was also really nice because volunteers are provided with free food such as pasta, onions, tuna, rice for cooking! Overall, I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy a the hostel in Costa Rica! :)

I had such a good time in Samara! All the asked tasks are very straightforward, the shifts are 5 hours long - the beach is few minutes away from the hostel. the hostel is not the most social hostel but since Santa is very small you will definitely meet people very easily! A very great addition is the free food provided for volunteers (pasta, tuna, potatoes, rice…). I had a great time! Thank you for everything☀️

Working with the team of the hostel in Samara was an unforgettable experience. The work is relatively straightforward and easy and the people there treat you like family from the very beginning! I really enjoyed my experience as a volunteer there and I will definitely be going back if i can sometime in the future.

My volunteer experience here was unforgettable; Pablo and everyone at the hostel are so welcoming, supportive and have the best energy. Pablo's an amazing host; he's great with communication, supports you throughout the experience and makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The tasks are easy, the hostel's always clean, and everything was as described. If you're looking for a place to start “slow living” and reconnect with yourself and nature, this is perfect for you. Samara itself is life-changing and healing in so many ways. ♾️/10

This experience was amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone! Pablo is the sweetest person ever and will make you feel at home for sure, the hostel is clean and well organised, it's a 10min walk to the beach, you'll meet a lot of locals and practice Spanish. Everyone is super friendly and they live by the motto “todos somos amigos”. I'm sure I'll miss this place as if it was a second home❤️

I had the best time of my life. Each day was a day to remember. Pablo is really kind and really hardworking and is there to help. The tasks are as described, not hard to do, . The hostel feels like home and I felt welcome. I highly recommend this place to enjoy Samara, the beach, surfing and calm night life. Loved meeting locals and other travelers. I got to learn Spanish. Loved eating local food. Was thrilled to meet Chantobros.one of the guys here who has a big following on tik tok and is an author to the book"Pavas City" and we shot a video. I highly recommend this place. Pura vida Indeed.

Sámara is a great little beach town and I really enjoyed living there for a few weeks. I met a lot of really cool people and was able to do some fun activities! However, I did not have the experience I was hoping for volunteering at this hostel. I was scheduled to do tasks I had not agreed to do, and I did not receive all of the benefits that are listed, which was disappointing because of the amount of hours we are asked to do. It didn't feel like an even trade. When communicating with the host, there were a few conversations that made me feel like there was a lack of respect towards me.

Beautiful experience! As a first volunteering experience, it was an excellent option; I was able to meet many interesting people (locals and travelers alike) and really enjoy Sámara. The work was as agreed, and there were never any problems at all. I would totally recommend it!
