The hostel was so Pura Vida! Everyone was so lovely and shared with me lots from the local culture and Food (GALLO PINTO 🫶🏼). Eduardo and Gustavo were amazing with everything and the hostel is incredible (very clean, lots of nature and an open kitchen which makes cooking very enjoyable 😊). Thank you so much the hostel family for these 3 lovely weeks.

I honestly couldn't hope for a better first volunteering than these 2 weeks at the hostel! To summarize, it checks all the boxes that could wish as a volunteer! A super beautiful & comfy hostel, where you sleep in the same dorm as the guests (a lot of hostels don't do that). A nice & benevolent team always ready to take on their time to teach you the different tasks, to explain to you nicely what to do and what you can improve, but also on your daily life, inviting you to share breakfast or go out for a drink! You're part of the team! It was perfect, a big thanks to the hostel team!

My experience was fantastic and I can only recommend this to anyone traveling or even as a first volunteer experience since everyone's is extremely welcome. You receive your weekly schedule in advance and the hours are very well respected. I personalidade only volunteered in the restaurant, with working hours from 11-4pm or from 4-9pm, with wednestdays and thursdays free. Uvita is a magical and beautiful place, in my free time I had plenty of time to explore nearby waterfalls, hikes and beaches. Thank you so much Eduardo for all the help and making me feel at home for two weeks :)

Best hostel in Puntarenas; the people are super nice and full of PURA VIDA. I'm very grateful and so happy to have gotten to know such an amazing crew at the hostel and Kinsu. Thanks to Isa, Joe, Fanny, Edu, Charmey, Angie, Jackie, Bella, Jeremy, Edwin, and probably some others I'm missing, but honestly, you make this place even better. You have to come and volunteer here in the hostel; you'll leave with such an amazing family . 🤍🌱🍀

Working at the hostel was the best experience I could've imagined! I especially loved connecting with the staff, they were so friendly, open, and willing to teach me my tasks. the hostel's facilities are unparalleled if you want to connect with nature, birdwatch, and see all sorts of flora and fauna. I definitely recommend this experience!
