I had a wonderful time here! Ana was incredibly helpful in suggesting local activities and always responded quickly to any questions I had. The reception tasks were straightforward and clearly explained. Volunteers get great discounts on many local tours, which was a huge plus. The hostel itself was peaceful, with a lovely outdoor area and comfortable common spaces. The town felt very safe, and everything from cafes and restaurants to grocery stores is within walking distance. I felt at home right away. Overall, I highly recommend this volunteer experience to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel! It's a quiet, calm oasis. Ana is an excellent host, responsive and flexible. She gave me a full schedule for the month upfront, but was always open to adjusting when needed. The hostel is in a great, central location. The town feels safe, and everything I needed was walking distance, including groceries, gym, tour companies, etc. That said, the tour discounts for volunteers were by far the best in terms of cost and value! And as a newer yoga teacher, I really valued the small class sizes (1-4). I also had plenty of time to remote work.

My time at Pure Vitra Hostel was super chill! Analia is a very sweet and funny person and I'm glad we met. I appreciated her openness to my ideas and her flexibility overall. The hostel is very clean and well taken care of and I felt super comfortable there. My work consisted of max. 2 hours of yoga classes per day, sometimes only one hour and assisting some activities like setting up the space for a movie night, so I had lot's of time to explore the area. Overall I'm very grateful for the exchange we had and look forward to seeing her again! Mucho amor, gracias por todo! <3

I had a great experience at the hostel! The tasks were clear, and easy to do : check in of the guests, payements, laundry for the guests...ect. If you have doubt, Ana always answers quickly and is willing to help. Apart from the job, I had a lot of free time to do activities - especially with the discounts the volunteers have during their stay - and there is a lot do around La Fortuna (hiking around the volcano Arenal, waterfall, river, Rio celeste...etc)! I reccomend for travellers who want to have free accomodation, discounts on tours, and are able to work 5h/5 days a week! :)

My time at the hostel was very chill. The hostel is super comfy and clean, and through my work at the reception I could connect with other travellers easily. The tasks were simple and explained well. Anytime there was a problem, Ana was usually there to help, although once there was an unusual situation that I didn't know how to handle bc she didn't explain it in advance. Only downside: You can't do that much in La Fortuna without having to pay quite a bit for the tours. So it's really nice that volunteers get discounts, but it still adds up if you want to da lot of things.

I really enjoyed each day of staying in La Fortuna. The work and tasks are easy to accomplish throughout the shift. Ana is so kind and understanding, she helped me with the hundreds of questions I always had. She'll always be available for any situation that may come up. There's a lot of time to explore and walk through the center of the town and the discounts you get as a volunteer for tours are really nice as well! The fans and curtains on each bed are very much appreciated and it makes you feel like you have a lot of privacy. I'll always remember my time here and the buenas vibras, thank u!

Working at the hostel with Ana was a pleasure! The tasks were super clear (and even written down!) and I even had the chance to have a shift that allowed me to do lots of different things during the day:) Ana was also always there if I had any questions or issues. Overall, it's a really well organized place, with a cleaning lady coming everyday, big kitchen with lots of storage and with access to a variety of cooking tools, clean room… My friend and I had the chance to see a variety of things, we truly loved the experience and the bound with Ana;)

I had a great time at the hostel. There are many tours, hikes, and activities easily accessible from the hostel. The work is not difficult and leaves you with time to do other activities. Also Ana the host is willing to help you coordinate anything you need.

Ana was an amazing host that taught me everything I needed to know to work in reception! It was a very easy system to follow and the work was not difficult. I was able to meet lots of people, practise my spanish and learn new skills. There is so much to do in your free time and everything you need is super close. It was such a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it!
