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 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 a amazing expérience here! It where long hours. But the atmosphère was very good. The staff was super nice and helped me with everything. The tasks are easy once you understand. The helped me with my spanish but also with getting to know montañita! I really loved it here and i for sure want to come back an other time. It is a party hostal so you should like to party and have a go big or go home mentality. But thats for montañita in general the mentality ;).

Had an amazing time working there, the working days were long but I liked the people, place, vibe. There was no food included but that wasn't a problem 'cuz there is a little mini markets around were food wasn't expensive at all. the kitchen was PERFECT, as well as the rest of the accommodations. Watching iguanas falling from the trees was a everyday show, as well as watching Jack (un gato gris, gordo y belloooo) sleeping. If Montañita gets too much for you there is alway, Olon, Ayampe, los frailes and other beautiful beaches to visit. Love the hostel, Love Montañita.
