Rama and guille are the best hosts, they really make you feel like home. The hostel is big and has a lot of rooms, its clean and the kitchen is perfect for cooking. I loved that is really close to the beach. I had the best time there!!

The hostel is the best place you can be in Santa Teresa! We stayed there for 3 weeks, I was helping at reception and my boyfriend was doing maintenance. The reception job was pretty straightforward - as long as you have a smile on your face and can solve basic issues, you'll be fine. The atmosphere in the hostel is chilled and relaxed, there is no pressure, just pura vida! We worked 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, in free time we surfed - the beach is 5 minutes walk from the hostel. Nacho and Rama always made sure we have everything we need! We really loved the place! Gracias por todo!

Rama with the dreadlocks is an awesome! i felt bad leaving because i didn't stay long but after already being a volunteer for a month prior and not really feeling like i wanted to invest anymore time i decided to leave. shared a dorm with other guests as a volunteer which was ok. santa teresa is really awesome. they are looking for volunteers to handle most the work.I worked during the low season & did some landscaping cutting overgrown plants & palm leaves.shoveled some rocks out of the rain gutter, reception work, cleaning, taking out the trash, basic work to keep the hostel running

The hostel is a great hostel. Everyone is very nice and the atmosphere is inviting and relaxing. The hostel is a quick walk from the beach and grocery store. Definitely a great place to stay if you're visiting Santa Teresa!!
