We want to thank Dani and Guillaume for this amazing opportunity! We had such a great time in the jungle ❤️❤️❤️ The working hours were exactly as we agreed, the tasks were easy, and the schedule was perfect—it gave us plenty of time to explore and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, it was a beautiful experience that we'll always remember. And of course, we can't forget about the pets—we loved them so much! 🐾❤️

Staying at the hostel is an immersive jungle experience—expect to share space with wildlife like spiders, snakes, and mosquitoes. Our private room had a fan, a mosquito net, and a breathtaking view of the ocean and jungle, waking up to nature's sounds. The mission matched our expectations, though previous volunteers leaving early increased our workload, leading to single shifts and fewer shared days off. Despite this, Dani and Guillaume were understanding hosts, always open to discussions about adjustments. A unique experience for nature lovers!

My partner and I enjoyed our month volunteering at the hostel, a jungle oasis full of wildlife and fruit trees. Dani and Guillermo have created something special. If you are weary of the wild, know that you will be sharing a home with the animals who call it home( spiders, snakes, roaches, birds, monkeys, insects, and more).Our room had a beautiful ocean view and a great fan. The shower was fully outdoors, and the nearest toilet was a 3-5 min walk away. Due to unexpected circumstances, we worked solo shifts and had few days off together. The staff were always supportive and helpful.
