The hostel is a lovely place with a great location. The manager Caro is super friendly, she explained everything with all the details about the volunteer job and it was easy to work afterwards. The place is great, including the pool, the palapa with ocean view and the volunteer room with AC and good mattress. I had met people from different countries and made nice friends there. Everyone follows the hours schedule and it works smoothly. If you are looking for the best place to volunteer in Puerto Escondido I highly recommend this one. ♥️♥️

This host is flexible, and the hostel is very well located next to the market. I had a great time in puerto escondido as it is easy to get to la punta and the nightlife in zicatela. However, the management is not very good. They constantly watch you on cameras all over the hostel. The training was not sufficient, and I often felt confused, and they wanted you to text the managers for everything. There is also an untrained dog that will bark constantly and jump on people/eat clothes. I got a towel and slippers eaten by the pool.

Mi experiencia en el hostel Tamarindo fue genial, fue mi mejor experiencia en voluntariados. El lugar está increíble, hay muy buen ambiente. El rooftop para ver los atardeceres es lo mejor 😍😍😍. El equipo es genial, Jc el manager siempre esta presente, y junto con Ariz me hicieron sentir siempre parte del equipo apoyándonos en cualquier horario y siempre con buena voluntad, en mi caso tuve unos problemas personales al principio de mi voluntariado, y Jc fue totalmente comprensivo para ayudarme en lo que necesite por lo cual siempre voy a estar agradecido. Sin duda volvería...
