This was our first experience of Worldpackers and our host, Danilo, made it a really great one. Before we arrived, he was very quick to respond to questions and advising us on the bus route from San Jose. He was very friendly and explained the work he wanted doing each day. The work was straightforward and not strenuous - raking leaves, cleaning windows, etc. Danilo was keen to stress I shouldn't work too hard, and just enjoy staying there. We had the weekends off and visited the local beach, Playa Blanca, Puerto Jimenez and the Corcovado national park. All were definitely worth a visit.

I would recommend this host to other world packers. Warm welcome and comfortable accommodation. Met us from the bus and that was helpful as it was dark by the time we arrived. Kitchen area had everything we could need to cook meals and wash-up. Clear instructions and tasks to complete on our work days. Good English and helped me improve my spoken Spanish. Helpful with tips on how to get about, where to shop, get haircuts and what to see locally. Made a really enjoyable first experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience staying at Danilo's! I highly recommend it. You will learn so much about Costa Ricans & their welcoming culture. The teaching experience was 1 of the best ever! And Google Translate is useful, everywhere, especially in town. I spent a lot of time in the cabin when it rained and I had no complaints about my accommodations. I had everything I needed in a clean space. I stayed 2 weeks in October, the rainiest month. It rained every day, but not all day. There were beautiful birds and small animals to see, always. Puerto Jimenez beach is ~$10 RT by taxi.

Danilo and Cielo are wonderful hosts. We knew our tasks, we were involved in the community. We had a good time teaching English to the kids and adult in the community. I can use the bike to the beach and La Perica Sloth Garden. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We would use the kitchen and cooked our own meal. Mangoes were delicious from the garden. Danilo would share some insights of the culture, the people, the nature. We would miss his family, his dogs and cat, his parents. We had wonderful students who were eager to learn and practice their English. Thank you Dani.

I had a really good and relaxed stay here. Everybody was really nice, I loved the little wooden cabin and Garden and the host was super flexible. I also loved driving with the bike to the beach close by. If you want to experience a authentic Costa Rican small town and get in contact with locals I would recommend it. Thanks for that experience :)

My girlfriend and me had a wonderful time staying with Danilo. Unfortunately my girlfriend got sick in the beginning but Danilo and Consuela took wonderful care of her so that she got better in no time. The work hours were reasonable and Danilo always made sure that we the lodge't have to work during the hot times of the day. Apart from the work Danilo is very connected with his community and had many recommendations for adventures in the area, he even gave us bikes so we could get around super easily. We would definitely recommend staying with Danilo, it was a great time. ✨

Danilo is awesome! He is very involved in his community, and staying with Danilo you feel involved in the community as well. The tasks are very fair and laid back - he wants his volunteers to work where they have strengths, and as a group of two we only worked 2.5 hours a day. There was a lot of Spanish practice (Danilo speaks some English - but mostly Spanish), and because we are fluent in English, most of our tasks involved teaching English to people in the community. The lodging is definitely rustic, but Danilo has bikes and makes his volunteers feel at home. I would recommend!

Our stay with Danilo and Consuelo was amazing. In just two weeks we got to immerse in the community and get to know the beautiful town. Danilo is very involved in his community and is so welcoming and friendly to his volunteers. He makes you feel right at home. He took care of us and helped us with planning to go to the national park and we got to practice lots of Spanish. Note that the accommodations are rustic, but have everything you need including a comfortable bed, kitchen, mosquito bed net. Also the climate is very hot because obviously it is the rainforest! Highly recommend!!
