I had a great time volunteering at the hostel. Originally, I was supposed to only stay for 10 days but I ended up staying almost 2 months. The staff is small but so incredibly kind and welcoming. The work (reception) is very relaxed. The property is absolutely beautiful, its a hidden gem. Since its not in the center is not too crowded but the place would benefit from a community manager because it deserves all the attention and praise. Also the volunteering should include cleaning since the place is huge and there's only one cleaning lady. I would definitely recommend and come back

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel. The work at the reception is an easy task, just waiting for check-ins and the hours are very fair. Santa Ana is a great starting location for a lot of activities and you're able to do sight seeing before you have to work. You'd also be able to go to the beach on your days off. The people living there made the experience special. Even though the Hostel isn't in the Center you're easily able to reach it by cheap uber or bus.

I loved the time at the hostel! The place is beautiful with a cafe and a huge garden in the back to relax and see animals. Mario, the owner, is a lovely person and Hania is great as well! I also met a lot of locals who were very open and kind. The work is pretty easy and the working hours were flexible and well respected. Highly recommend staying here! Thank you for the great time <3

Very good stay, the hostel is huge and we feel good there. It has great potential! The shifts are easy to do at the reception and you will meet other volunteers. You also have plenty of time to visit the tourist sites around Santa Ana. Mario is a very kind and available person. Thanks also to Hania, a volunteer with whom I was able to change my days off! I recommend :)
