I had a great time at the hostel! Unfortunately I wasn't able to meet Tom, but the manager, Michelle, was so warm and nice! The schedule was really flexible, the job doesn't require too much work, just to be there if some clients arrive to the hostel! I had the chance to do small trips during my stay at the hostel because I asked to do double shifts. About the negative aspects, I will talk about the cleaning. The volunteers' kitchen was always dirty no matter how we cleaned everything, and also full of ants everywhere (in your food too)! Also, we experienced two robbery attempts :(

This was a great place to volunteer. If you want to meet new people and socialize I definitely recommend this place.

Great experience! As new volunteers, we were a little bit scared from the reception job, but Tom explained everything and helped whenever it was needed. We saw so many animals at the hostel, sloths, monkeys, even iguana! As a couple, we preferred to stay in a tent it was really nice to enjoy jungle experience. Toms wife was so sweet, really warm person. She suggested places to visit. The best part of this experience is meeting so many different people who stay in the hostel. We get some really good friend. :)

The hostel is in a great location to access gorgeous beaches and the property itself is home to monkeys, sloths, and iguanas. If involved in the hostel work, it is easy work. If involved with the Finca, expect more physical labor. The work at the Finca was fun to learn new skills, however, information about the opportunity isn't accurate. In reality, you will need to travel 1 hour in total to arrive at the Finca. This involves a bus ride which you must pay at your own expense (1060 colones 1 way). For volunteers hoping to keep costs down this is a critical bit of information needed.

I arrived I was warned by the other volunteers that the bed I would be sleeping on has a sink hole in the middle.Tom didnt do anything about it.I was told it had been that way for months and multiple volunteers had informed him of the situation.I met other volunteers who told me that everything on the listing was a lie. Tom is very condescending and will probably say something bad about me but HE is the problem. Me and another volunteer left because the water is contaminated and he wouldnt provide clean water.Every volunteer and guest hates the hostel.WP bought me a place to stay when i left

The mattress as been changed as soon as I been informed about it didn't know about it before you, you told me you would like to camp so didn't rushed to change it when you were there. All the rest of the volunteers really love the experience you can see by the review it can't be a lie! The water filters got changed 2 days after I was informed about it, you just didn't want to buy water for a couple of days, told me your room is dirty when it's your responsibility to clean it. We are really down to earth hostel some people like it and some not, that want make the world so beautiful. Usually guests don't like it when they get a bad services from volunteers with a bad vide. A lot of lies in your review and its really a shame to misleading other travelers whole can really enjoy and learn from this experience but like I already told you you're Still a child, and that's what kids do telling lies and get Frustrated for nothing.
Pura vida.

The place is in a beautifull location, next to the jungle and the beach. Its a great place to get to know a lot of travellers and really chill also. The host isn't there a lot of the time, but the work isn't that much so that's not a really big problem.

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! The work is easy, simple reception and cleaning. The hostel is located just a few minutes walk from the downtown. It is right on the water and a 10 minute walk through the jungle to a beautiful beach. I would definitely recommend!

This was a great experience that got me away from the big city life and threw me into nature and quietness. Sleeping in a tent really made me get closer to nature. There were some up and downs as with every volunteer situation, but it was never anything to get angry about. Tom respected the hours and days that were agreed upon working and helped with training and understanding of what he expected and wanted. Definitely a place for those wanting to get away from everything.

I loved my time at the hostel. The hostel is owned by a couple with their little baby girl. The hostel is their home and I loved that about it. I enjoyed sleeping in the nature and hearing the sea as I slept. I enjoyed meeting people and exploring the town and surrounding areas. A lot of love goes into this place. Be prepared to live a little rough (which I love) and enjoy the outdoor shower after the beach. Thanks for the good times, Pura Vida!
