My time at the hostel was absolutely amazing. The place was clean and comfortable, it's a very central walkable location, the owner is kind and welcoming, hands on, and helpful, the other volunteers were lovely also. This was a great opportunity to work a reasonable amount and still have time to connect with nature and experience Uvita. It felt like a real community and home away from home after a month. Highly recommend this opportunity to anyone & looking forward to going back someday.

Volunteering at the hostel has been an amazing experience. I highly recommend staying at the hostel if you want a hostel that values your time and effort, and has great amenities. The hostel was close to everything you need which makes things easier. The owner is great and had excellent communication which made everything run smoothly.

I volunteered at the hostel for almost 2 months, and it truly became my home away from home!π Most guests and volunteers extend their stay here for a reason: it's very clean, spacious, comfortable, and the energy is amazing! Sander is a lovely person and will make sure you feel safe and respected throughout your entire stay, he really cares about the volunteers. You'll have lots of free time to explore the area or work remotely. So many wonderful friendships and memories!! Pets are the best part, I will miss them so much. I'll be back whenever I'm in Costa Rica again! :)

Volunteering here is an amazing opportunity. The hostel is peaceful, beautiful and super safe. it's a great location and the work is very reasonable. Sander, the host, is reliable, kind and a good communicator. Not a party hostel by any means, but can definitely be on the go certain nights.

I had an amazing experience at the hostel. The accommodation is super nice, and the bunk beds feel spacious and private with the curtains. You have plenty of space for cooking, studying/working, workouts or just chilling. The location is excellent for exploring Uvita, and you'll have more than enough time to do so between working shifts. So exciting getting to know people from around the world. Sander is an amazing host, I felt so welcome. Definitely going back if I'm ever in the area again!
