Without a doubt, it was the best volunteering experience of my entire trip! I arrived a bit hesitant because it was such a big place, but it exceeded my expectations. I was warmly welcomed by Pacco, Juan, and the entire Costenõ team. The food is great and the work is a lot of fun — I recommend it to all travelers.

The hostel is a true paradise. There's nothing like waking up by the ocean, enjoying delicious meals to the sound of the waves, and having the sea as your daily view. I originally applied to help at the bar, but it wasn't quite what I expected—so I switched to reception, which I ended up enjoying much more. People were really kind and welcoming in both areas (almost all of them). During my time there, I made amazing friends, danced at unforgettable parties, and had a blast on karaoke nights. the hostel truly felt like home in Colombia, and I couldn't recommend it more!

It was an amazing experience here, I've met amazing people and súper welcoming. Before to come you need to be aware that the bar volunteers don't do bar they are just helping the bartenders so it was a surprise for me when I arrived. Besides that the place is incredible and the features are really good so I would recommend this place. Paco the volunteers manager is super nice and if you have a problem you are super free to talk about it and express your feelings.
