Oh, where do we start? The place is undeniably beautiful. It'sthe hostel, the hostel-friendly, has stunning sunrise and sunset views. The host Dani trained us well. He's very specific, rule and goal oriented. He respects the working and off hours. He's very communicative and as long as you follow the rules, you'll do great. Don Rodolfo, is kind and always greets us whenever he sees us. The staff, Darwin, Smith, Carlos and Dona Arelys are super kind, helpful and attentive - true local hospitality. Highly recommended volunteer experience. Nicaragua is definitely a favorite in this Central America trip!

Thank you the hosteland Danny for this amazing stay and opportunity to be apart of the family:) the work is simple, straightforward and Danny is an amazing teacher! The hostel itself is a great place to volunteer as its so laidback, you can really relax, get work done, or connect with nature here. The shuttles to town made a huge difference! Made it super easy to get around.

I had the best time volunteering atthe hostel! Daniel and his family made me feel super welcomed and I quickly felt like I was at home. The location of the hostel is amazing. It's in this very peaceful environment, surrounded by nature with an incredible view in bonus!!! The reception job is pretty easy once you pick up on all the information and Daniel is always near to help if anything happens. You also get almost a week of training before being on your own which reassured me a lot!! Overall, I would 100% recommend hhis volunteering experience and would totally go back at anytime myself

I had an amazing experience at the hostel! Generally the hostel has a very relaxed vibe, the work itself is pretty easy once you understand everything - there is almost a week of training before you start working by yourself which made me very comfortable. There is a room shared only between volunteers, we got breakfast included, we could do our laundry for free and take the shuttles to the town and beaches for free. The town is a little far away but personally I never had any problem with the shuttle schedule Would definitely come again if I'll have the opportunity!
