The experience in the hostel was amazing! The hostel is a really nice and complete place to stay (well equiped kitchen, free laundry, gym) where you can you can meet people from all over the world and practice your Spanish with all staff (they are really lovely and kind). The work is easy and well organized and the hostel is near to the city center so you can da lot of things in your free time. The owner Alex is the best, really friendly, caring and helpful! Thank so much for everything! Totally recommend this experience!! If you need tips about Fortuna, don't hesitate to reach me out!

Calm and clean place. Alex is a helpful and efficient manager who wants to learn English. The other members of the staff are kind and you have time to get to know them. Easy walk to the park which is close to markets, tours offices and lot of restaurants. Everyone's just appreciating the tranquility of the Costa Rican nature without being too far from the stores. Make the most of your free time. Sleep at night and there's always Uber.

I stayed at the hostel 3 weeks and I really enjoyed my time here. The work schedule allows you to have time to explore and do activities and Alex is very flexible if you need to change a shift. The tasks are easy (mostly reception work), before coming I was scared it would be hard since my Spanish is not very good but every one was patient and really nice and I improved a lot! Alex is very sweet and makes you feel really welcome and is always there to help you if you need something during the shift. I had a lot of fun going on adventures with the other volunteers and clients from the hostel.

This was an excellent volunteering experience, Alex (the owner) makes you feel fully welcomed and home. the hostel is a beautiful place with a great environment. Working hours are flexible enough to get to know all around La Fortuna. A very clean and comfortable place which really encourages to do the work. Fully recommended :)

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions of my life. I spent magical moments there.The team is incredibly kind and welcoming and have always been very patient with my low level of Spanish. The tasks were interesting and the schedule accommodating to visit the surroundings. The place is super nice, with a friendly atmosphere, many places to relax or meet travelers from all over the world. I will never forget the intercultural and joyful moments shared with the team, the other volunteers and the guests. Thank you for everything Alex, Nati, Oscar, Natalia, Sandra and Nala.

We stayed at the hostel for 2 weeks and it was our first volunteer experience. All in all we were very happy with our stay, the tasks were easy, we met a lot of great people and travelers which was a lot of fun. La Fortuna provides a lot of opportunities to spend your free time. If you choose this volunteer experience be aware that you have to work 5 hours, 5 days a week to get accomodation in a dorm with up to 8 people. But you can use the well equiped kitchen and cook for yourself and also use the free laundry. If you want to see La Fortuna staying in Alex' hostel is definitly a great idea.

Beautiful natural scenery, beyond friendly hosts, and much to learn!! 💕 I definitely recommend having fairly strong spanish language skills, and bring an extra pillow as the beds aren't the most comfortable. Unfortunately I had to cut my stay short due to a family emergency, but I felt very welcomed and enjoyed my time at the hostel :)

The experience at the hostel was cool, I learned a lot of skills because there was a lot of responsibility given to the volunteers. Checking people in, folding laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and generally being responsible for running the hostel during your five hour shift, which could be hectic at times but also chill at other times. I was meeting travelers from all around the world, and some were friendlier than others. The staff is friendly and helpful but didn't make a lot of effort to get to know me personally. I learned more Spanish and connected with other volunteers.

Alex is a great boss, and Oscar always made me feel very welcome. I struggled at first, but I think that's because sometimes understanding Spanish is difficult for me. Alex and Oscar create good staff and volunteer culture, especially by hosting our group lunch everyday. I recommend future volunteers have strong Spanish-speaking skills.
