I had a wonderful time in Drake Bay, everyone is very welcoming and fun to work with. Dorms were great, I recommend bringing a hand held fan it will be very hot no matter the time of year. Structure of tasks were a little unclear but manageable. I genuinely enjoyed my stay and will miss the friends I made!

The hostel felt like home to me. The environment is absolutely stunning. Thanks to the tours they offer and all the activities going on, you really get the chance to explore the area. The tasks can vary a lot, depending on the role you apply for. The team is very open to new ideas and encourages you to realize them. At times, things could use a bit more structure, especially when it comes to tasks in the hostel, but the experience overall was amazing. I met incredible people and truly appreciate everything I learned during my time there. This place will always hold a special spot in my heart.

I stayed a month at the hostel and it was a big surprise. It was my first time in Costa Rica and I discovered the true beauty of this country. It's a quiet place in the heart of the jungle, it was a very good discovery, like something I've never known before. The work is easy, but for me, the schedule needs more organization. The staff is really nice and I had such a good time being part of the hostel family. I highly recommend it to someone looking for an unforgettable experience. Also get ready to live in the middle of the jungle and in a small town.

My time at the hostel was amazing. It was my first volunteer experience and definitely succeeded my expectations. Although the volunteer do get a lot of responsibility, the schedule was kept fair and you had enough time to explore beautiful Drake Bay on your days off. Thank you to everyone at the hostel for making me feel so welcome and at home!

Overall, I had a very positive experience. I was given a lot of responsibility, which helped me learn and grow, although it sometimes required working quite independently. Tasks did not always fully match the job description, and communication via WhatsApp could be a bit chaotic at times. The staff was very kind and taught me a lot about nature and Costa Rican culture. The remote and beautiful location allows you to truly connect with nature. Due to this, activities outside the proposed tours are limited, which is completely normal.

I had a good time at the hostel in Drake Bay. The location is really beautiful, it is perfect to immerse yourself in nature. I had time to explore the area, to meet locals and I was able to do amazing tours to the national park. When I arrived the hostel was a bit disorganized because the old manager just left and there was no structure for the volunteers, nevertheless we managed the situation. The hours were fair and the tasks easy for me to do. I recommend volunteering here if you are self organized and maybe already have some experience working at a hostel.

Drake Bay is the most beautiful place I've ever visited. The slower pace took a little getting used to, but once I settled in, I didn't want to leave. The hostel location is stunning and I enjoyed getting to know the guides/staff who are really knowledgeable and a lot of fun. This experience was the perfect balance between connecting with both people and nature. I'd absolutely recommend it!

My time at the hostel was so exciting. Estefanie was like a Costa Rican mami and the rest of the guides and staff became good friends. Sometimes the vibes were a little chaotic but I also had some of the most fun experiences. I really got to connect to nature here and it changed my perspective on life!! So much love 🫶
