This jas been a wonderful experience. I would recommend it 100% if you love the nature, to stay in a very social environment and to meet 24/7 people from all around the world. Everyone who works here is such a nice person and would let you feel as you're one of them. Also you get to meet volunteers and enjoy a lot the time with them! Loved it

I spent two weeks volunteering at the hostel and had an amazing and immersive experience. Everyone was super welcoming and made me feel part of the team. The hostel's vibe is really social and relaxed. I worked bartending and in the kitchen with 6-hour shifts and two days off weekly, which gave me plenty of time to relax and explore. It was a great chance to meet new people and improve my Spanish. Huge thanks to Alba and Laura for being so supportive—they really made my stay better. I highly recommend volunteering here! ❤️

Volunteering at the hostel was such an amazing experience. The work and hours were fair, and I had plenty of time to enjoy the area around the hostel. The staff were the best part — so friendly and welcoming. Huge shoutout to Alba and Laura for being absolutely wonderful and making me feel right at home. It was also a great place to practice Spanish and connect with amazing people. I made so many good memories here and honestly wish I could've stayed longer. Thanks for everything! :)

Although I had some difficulties adapting to the working environment at first, I had an amazing time at the hostel filled with new experiences and meeting amazing people. The location in the middle of the jungle is astonishing and is definately one of the highlights of this place. Work was exactly what was agreed upon and they are very flexible with shifts too. You get to know a lot of people, which is really cool. There's always something to do or someone to talk to in your free time and a lot of places to be by yourself as well. I can definately recommend this place to meet people!
