The hostel gave me the freedom to experiment, try new things, and most importantly — to be myself. I could offer a safe space to my students because I had one too. I felt empowered, trusted, seen… and that is the most beautiful gift. I was able to host women's circles and cacao ceremonies, and witnessing the magic of women coming together to heal and rise was unforgettable. The other volunteers became my sisters. Living and working in a fully female environment was deeply empowering — we supported each other, laughed, cried, and built a bond that goes beyond this place.

This was my first volunteering experience abroad and it was absolutely amazing! There was such a great community vibe with all the volunteers, which made my experience so special. The host made me feel comfortable and the tasks required were well respected. the hostel is such a nice hostel with great activities, and I got to meet some amazing women while being there! The hostel is very well located, super close to the beach! I would absolutely recommend this volunteering experience, especially if you're looking for a safe space for women with a nice community of empowering women.

I LOVED my experience at the hostel! What a wonderful place to call home! The group of volunteers & the coordinator definitely made my experience what it was. I developed my Spanish so much while volunteering at reception. I would go back in a heartbeat. It was a truly beautiful experience and I 100% recommend volunteering at the hostel!

The hostel is a wonderful hostel that is the perfect balance between a social & chill hostel. the guests & volunteers are very welcoming & the hostel really provides an excellent space to organically meet people. you're also close to everything in town while also being on a quiet street. the volunteer shifts were very clear & sharon was always very communicative & responsive. if you're looking for a beautiful place to stay, w a great environment, & enjoy the unique caribbean coast of costa rica, then the hostel is a great place to volunteer 🤗💓

El hostel es una experiencia única, el ambiente laboral con las compañeras es muy especial. No sólo logras hacer un voluntariado y conseguir un hospedaje, se crean vínculos muy sanos con el personal y los anfitriones; terminas sanando áreas de tu vida, resolviendo conflictos y encontrándote a ti misma. Tenés mucha libertad de expresión desde el puesto como psicóloga, el trabajo es acorde a lo establecido. Te sientes muy a gusto, con Sharon, es un segundo hogar. Si buscas un cambio personal, es el lugar ideal.
