I volunteered as smm for 5 weeks at La Tribu, an amazing, modern, only-women hostel. Chilled vibe and healing sisterhood atmosphere (but when you want to party the hostel welcomes you). They host 2 volunteers at the time, in a private room with a/c. The owners (same of the hostel) are great people and all the women I worked with, both employees and volunteers, truly amazing. I felt constantly at home, made life-lasting friendships and left a piece of my heart here ♥️ I definitely suggest this experience to other worldpackers, you won't regret it!

This place felt like a second home far away from home. The people are so welcoming and they are always there if you need someone or something. Also the tasks and the work is really good and it's really easy to learn the things that need to be done. I had a really good time there and I can recommend it to everyone.

The whole experience was the best! the hostel is truly a place where you want to be back. It's more like a home than a hostel. Every day they're trying to improve the place and making some upgrades. The owners and the stuff are really kind and entertaining. They want you to enjoy your stay and have fun. Besides that the duties were varied and interesting, not too difficult and complicated. I'm very grateful that I had a chance to be a part of the hostel family even for a moment. I recommend this experience for 100%!

The hostel was everything I was hoping for and more in a volunteer experience. The four owners Gerrardo, Edward, Paco and Kender really welcome you into the family from day 1. They even went out of there way to include me in family and social activities that they did together. This is really this best hostel that you possibly volunteer at in Puerto Viejo. It is pretty easy to adapt to how things operate as far as the work side of the exchange. You will meet tons of people and live the time of your life. Find out what it means to live the hostel!

Cada the hostel is one of the best hostels I have stayed at and I am so glad to have been able to volunteer with them in Puerto Viejo! The community is amazing, with the owners being welcoming and friendly, and meeting the most amazing people from around the world. Not only is the hostel a home away from home, but Puerto Viejo is so rich and beautiful, embracing the carefree style of the Caribbean and the pura vida of Costa Rica. There is so much to do around the area, and there is plenty of time outside of the working hours to try it all. Thank you Edward, Pito, Paco, and Kender for everything!
