This was my first volunteering experience, and I had a great time staying at the hostel. It quickly felt like home and I met amazing people along the way. The work itself is pretty relaxed once you get the hang of it and there are plenty of perks, like staff food to prepare your meals and discounts on tours, which is really nice. I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering volunteering!

I worked at Ceiba hostel as a receptionist for three weeks, i had a really good time and met some amazing people! Ronald took care of all of us volunteers and provided a really good environment! Still, there a few things that i want to mention. first of all they don't provide a meal per day, but they buy grocery once a week for the staff and you can cook using the ingredients. also, there are just two free tours and they have conditions (es. one volunteer per time or you have to pay) and the others with a 10-15 usd discount. overall it was a good experience and i would recommend it!

Hi Morticia, we’d like to clarify that each volunteer receives the items needed to cook, as coordinating meal times and food preferences for everyone is difficult. We offer three free tours: hot springs (any time with space), sloth tour, and Arenal Volcano, with the last two depending on external providers. Extra free tours may be offered based on performance. Thank you for your time with us — you’ll always have a home in La Fortuna

Super nice place for solo travellers, very safe for women. The accommodation is great, with a chill hangout area and a room that's quiet and private. Be aware: there's no AC in the 10-bed dorm where volunteers sleep if no exterior guests are staying there. Also, the “lunch per day” is actually groceries bought at the start of the week to help reduce food costs. This experience definitely wouldn't have been the same without the amazing staff I met! Also, be ready to do housekeeping, even if it's not announced. Overall, it was great!

Thanks for your help Jade. In our announcement we say that front these help to make beds and have general order ( keep kitchen clean and take out the trash) we don't consider that as housekeeping task as could be cleaning bathrooms etc.

This was a good volunteer experience however there were a few things I didn't expect. There aren't many free activities or things to do but volunteers get a small discount ($10-$15 off) tours and shuttles. I came with the expectation that I would be running tours so this was a bit of a shock. There isn't a prepared meal, rather groceries are purchased about once a week. Housekeeping is a big part of the job (making beds, laundry, cleaning). Considering the amount of hours you have to work each week I don't think you receive a significant amount in return. I did love the people I met though!!

I loved my stay at Argdivian Hostel! Lara and Lautaro are fantastic people who make you feel part of the family from the first moment. the work is easy and the timetables are always respected. I have done discounted and even free tours. The city is small but very cute and full of things to do. I would recommend to everyone

I loved my time at the hostel, it's such a social hostel and you quickly feel at home! Lara and Lautaro are clear with their expactations and they're easy to communicate with. The work takes some time to understand, but once you got it, the work is pretty easy and chill. As a volunteer you get a lot of discounts on tours (and even some for free) which is really nice, considering most activites in La Fortuna costs money. I would definitely recommend volunteering at the hostel, and I'll miss this place and all of the people I met here!

Lara and Lautaro are super sweet and funny and they really want you to go out and explore La Fortuna! The work is straightforward and the hours are respected. You get to meet so many international travelers as well! I had so much fun here and got to try so many new things like rafting, volcano hikes, zip lining, etc. The hostel is really clean and has such a welcoming and social atmosphere. I reccomend this experience!! 10/10 ❤️‍🔥

I had such a great time here! Lara is so welcoming and took very good care of me during my stay. She also had great recommendations for things to do. It was a fun environment in the hostel and you will meet a lot of different travelers. My spanish really improved during my stay. I also got to go on some free and discounted tours which were incredible. The food available in the hostel served as a basis for my meals and they were often free cooked meals or snacks available. my cleaning shift was 8:30 to around 1:30 with breaks, 6 days a week. would definitely recommend this experience!

Minha experiência no hostel foi super agradável e positiva, o Hostel é limpo e organizado, e as pessoas que trabalham no hostel, Lautauro, Laura e DuDu são muito gente boa, acolhedoras e fazem você se sentir confortável! As tarefas são simples e bem definidas, La Fortuna tem vários hikes para quem gosta, super recomendo! ;)
