Program Details

As a volunteer, you’ll support the daily operations of two properties: a hotel with 9 rooms and a nearby vacation rental with 3 studios and 2 houses. Our team is small, so your help makes a real difference.

Main tasks include:

Cleaning rooms and bathrooms to a high standard
Keeping the shared kitchen and common areas tidy
Helping with guest check-ins and check-outs
Occasionally assisting in the garden or with small errands
We’re looking for someone who is:
Reliable, independent, and proactive
Very clean and detail-oriented
Flexible and happy to support wherever needed
You’ll stay in a private room with bathroom and fridge, and have access to the shared guest kitchen to prepare your own meals. Meals are not included. The atmosphere is calm and respectful, surrounded by nature – perfect for those who appreciate quiet beauty but still close (500 meter) to town.

Activities & Shift

You will work 6 days (4 hours/ day) a week. Usually it will be between 9am - 1pm.
There will be days where you maybe have to stay from 1pm - 5pm. This will be happening when I am taking some off time and I need someone ton welcome the guests.

Your main tasks will include:

📋 Reception- tasks like welcoming guests, no office work
🧹 assisting in Apartment and Room cleaning

If you like nature and want to stay in a beautiful setting, you are a animal lover, open minded, organized, detail-oriented, and enjoy keeping spaces clean and welcoming, we would love to welcome you to our tropical oasis in Playa Sámara! 🌴✨

Rules

We’re happy to welcome volunteers into our peaceful environment – but for this exchange to work well for both sides, we kindly ask you to respect the following house rules and expectations:

Please follow the same house rules that apply to our guests.
Keep your private room clean and tidy – this is your own responsibility.
Always be on time and reliable in your work.
If you prepare food in the shared kitchen, please clean up everything afterward (dishes, surfaces, stove).
Be attentive and proactive – look around, see what needs to be done, and take initiative.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely wants to contribute, not just stay for free accommodation.
We value cleanliness, responsibility, respect, and open communication.
We offer you a beautiful private room with your own bathroom and access to a shared kitchen in a calm and natural setting. In return, we ask for quality work during your agreed hours and for a shared commitment to the standards we uphold – especially in cleaning and guest care.
If we both care equally – about your comfort and about the quality of your help – this will be a meaningful and enriching experience for everyone involved.
