Casa de Olas is a peaceful eco-hostel nestled in the hills just 3 km from San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Surrounded by nature and ocean views, we offer a tranquil alternative to party hostels—ideal for travelers and volunteers seeking focus, reflection, and a slower rhythm of life.

We are currently seeking committed volunteers to assist in our reception area in a role that is primarily administrative and guest-facing. You will be responsible for managing check-ins and check-outs, handling reservations and payments, coordinating guest needs, maintaining cash flow, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. This position requires attention to detail, time discipline, and a calm, professional demeanor.

In exchange for 25 hours of work per week (with 2 days off), we offer:

- Free accommodation in a shared dorm

- Free use of shuttles to town and nearby beaches for surfing
- Full access to our kitchen and laundry area

Shifts are rotated between morning, afternoon, and evening. For couples, shifts are assigned separately to ensure coverage and fairness. A minimum stay of 4 weeks is required, with potential extensions based on performance and availability.

This opportunity is ideal for focused individuals who want to contribute meaningfully, learn about hostel administration, and enjoy the beauty and simplicity of life in a remote and mindful setting.
