I had a great experience at the hostel. The hostel itself is really impressive with a good location, nice kitchen, and plenty of chill out spaces. It was quiet during low season but there were still lots of friendly people around. The host was very easy to communicate with and the work was very relaxed. I would definitely recommend this place.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the hostel in Montañita, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience. The hostel, under the exceptional leadership of Jose, offers a warm and welcoming environment that makes you feel right at home. Jose is not just an owner; he is a true ambassador of hospitality, ensuring that every guest feels valued and taken care of. The vibes and volunteers are immaculate. I look forward to coming back to visit as soon as possible! Thank you to the hostel and thank you Montañita for a wonderful and unforgettable experience!!!

I think communication is really lacking because since I arrived nobody really explained the schedule or the tasks that need to be done. The volunteer room is super crammed and I couldn't unpack at all, just live right out of the backpack. The overall space is nice for chilling, loved the hammocks, the tasks are easy (but also super boring, sweeping the leaves over and over again). Also, the biggest downside was that they say they provide surfboards but most of them are broken or without fins, only one kind of working. I left early, I'm grateful that Jose was understanding about it.

I really enjoyed my time at the hostel: the common areas are big and well organised, perfect to socialise. Cherry on top were the other volunteers, I feel like we made a great team and worked really well together. Accommodation should be better, the volunteers' room is overcrowded and there is barely any space to walk or put your stuff. Jose helped with everything we needed, however I feel like the volunteers should be taken better care of. Most of the times we were left to interact with the manager, who always brushed off anything we had to say and often talked down to us

The hostel is a really nice spot to volunteer at. It's super quite and chill now, not a party hostel as it used to be. Jose is welcome and always help you whatever you need. One of the best parts is that you can use hostel's surfboards for free. I'd definitely recommend you to stay at the hostel if you want to spend a couple of weeks in Montañita The reason I give a 4 is that I applied for a bartender position, but there was not much work and I had to change it to reception at the hostel

This experience was good overall. The tasks are easy (reception and cleaning) and the schedule can be flexible. During your stay you can experience living and meeting other international travelers, learn or practice surf and party with other volunteers. Thank you José for making our stay really enjoyable !

At first I wasn't sure if i wanted to stay because some things was not how I expected it. So it took some used to it and i really loved it. I was suppose to work at the bar in the hostel because it's a party hostel but they didin't told me it was not like that anymore so I had to work in a club in town. I didin't really speak spanish so it was hard at first but i got the hang of it and Pedro, the bartender, was really nice and funny! The others volonteers were nice as well we had a great gang but everybody left and there was no more people at the reception so we could have used more people :)

The hostel was the ideal place to get to know amazing people from all around the world. It is a place where you can always find something to do and go out any day of the week since Montañita really is a place for partying. My tasks were pretty easy at the hostel since I only had to take care of the different events at our hostel and do promotion for the open bars we had at our place which were open for the public. Its the perfect job to connect with locals and travellers from whole montañita. If you like meeting a lot of new people and going out, i would definietly recommend this place!

I had fantastic time, spending almost 2 months in the hostel, the place is almost as interesting as montanita itself. Best place if you are looking for good party and surfing in the. Special thanks to José, Slaighther and Blanca. Thank you for everything i'll be back
