Sukia Hostel
Our hostel is located in Drake Bay and it´is surrounded by jungle, living a few days here is a guarantee of being able to observe the wildlife of Costa Rica.
To be a volunteer here is to take advantage of this setting in a serene and friendly atmosphere.
I am the owner of Sukia Travel and Sukia Hostel, this space is made so that travelers can rest after their excursions while staying close to nature to recharge their batteries. We currently have 2 to 3 people working full time. Being a volunteer at sukia hostel means being an integral part of our team while sharing the local pura vida.

About the experience in: Drake Bay, Costa Rica
Spain
Mi estadía en hostelería fue curta, solamente estuvimos un mes pero fue mas que suficiente para darnos cuenta de donde estavamos , un lugar precioso. El ambiente era enriquecedor, salvaje y totalmente silvestre. El trato de parte de sukia ha sido excelente, no hay nada que pueda questionar. Una muy buena experiencia psra empezar en este mundo de los voluntariados. Gracias por todo lo compartido

Ha sido una experiencia muy buena, estuvimos mi compañero y yo durante mas de un mes y pudimos hacer infinidad de cosas.
A parte del trabajo tuvimos tiempo de sobra para realizar actividades libres, como: excursiones, buceo, ver sunsets… aparte los tours que entran con el voluntariado estan muy bien y son muy divertidos.
Solamente quiero dar las gracias a todo el equipo de sukia, por la experiencia.

⚠️ Management changed. You will not have the same experience old volunteers did ⚠️
There was no team or staff, just a cleaner a few hours weekly. Hours were unclear and I was pressured to work more than agreed. The restaurant is sublet and I was dragged into fights over who paid for toilet paper and soap for the shared bathroom. A tour guide was kicked out due to an incident with an old volunteer. This was never disclosed to me. I lived with him for days and was made to supervise his departure alone. They had a broken water filter and knew it, but had volunteers drink unsafe water for days.

Hi Luz—thanks for sharing. We ended the exchange two weeks early due to ongoing frictions with other volunteers and staff; we prioritize a respectful team environment. After we communicated this, you threatened to leave a negative review, so we don’t believe this comment is objective. Management has not changed. We invite readers to check our other reviews—especially from volunteers who overlapped with Luz—for a balanced view. We wish her well.

I had a great time at Sukia! Everyone was respectful and friendly. Thank you for having me and making me feel so included. Staying in the jungle was fantastic as you see new animals all the time and really connect with nature.
