It was our first experience with Worldpackers with my friend. We absolutely don't regret it. The hostel and its location are very good, really connected with nature. Lydia and Bryton are so kind but also the rest of the staff. We spent wonderful moments with them. The work is really easy and there are a lot of things to do in and around Puerto Viejo. We really recommend this place!

It was a really nice experience in the hostel, Lydia and Bryton are very kind people who care about you from the beginning until the last second. I was assigned to the cleaning group , where I had the pleasure of working with Kimari and Diego, beautiful people, always smiling, available, who help you a lot, it was a real pleasure to share time with them. It was also nice time spent with Edwin, the gardener, another very good person in the hostel, always sunny I highly recommend the experience in this hostel, plus Puerto Viejo is wonderful .

The hostel was my first Worldpackers experience and I am so grateful that it was. Lydia is an awesome host who is kind, welcoming, and always there to help out with anything. The work is very laid back and you have 4 days off, leaving you with plenty of opportunity to explore the area. There are so many things to do so you'll never be bored. I had so much fun with the other volunteers and met some awesome people around the area. I would definitely recommend volunteering here!

I loved my stay at the hostel, such a good experience. The place is so pretty, very tropical, close to the beach and not that far from the city (you have a bike). You work 7h 3days/week so you have 4 days off which is perfect to discover this part of the country, and the work is really chill. Lydia (the host) is so kind and I felt like a real part of the team. I met so much people and Puerto Viejo is defently one of my favorite city in CR.

I had a great experience at the hostel! It was so much fun getting to know the other volunteers and Lydia and Bryton. The work was fun and easy. We had lots of free time with opportunities to explore around Puerto Viejo with the bike that they provided. Communication with Lydia was effective and clear! The location was perfect with the closest beach just across the street! A great add was the trivia nights at the restaurant and the movie nights with pasta!

Lovely! Plenty of free time to chill and explore, the work is very easy. You get the schedule ahead of time so very well organized and you can easily plan your free time! I was treated with much respect and Lydia and Brighton were very welcoming. The hostel is beautiful butbe prepared to see a lot of cockroaches and frogs in the kitchen since it's outdoors. I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a hostel with a family type of vibe, but rather if you wish to enjoy free and private time it's perfect! Only negative part was the laundry system which was very time consuming and complicated

Es una de mis primeras experiencias como voluntario y me siento muy cómodo con todo el equipo de trabajo. Lydia es una persona amable y abierta. Me parece una buena opción de voluntariado para gente con o sin experiencia porque vienen clientes tanto internacionales como locales. También hay conciencia ecológica y se organizan eventos. En mi próximo viaje a Puerto Viejo definitivamente volvere a postularme para trabajar aquí.
