Mi estadía en hostelería fue curta, solamente estuvimos un mes pero fue mas que suficiente para darnos cuenta de donde estavamos , un lugar precioso. El ambiente era enriquecedor, salvaje y totalmente silvestre. El trato de parte del hostel ha sido excelente, no hay nada que pueda questionar. Una muy buena experiencia psra empezar en este mundo de los voluntariados. Gracias por todo lo compartido

Ha sido una experiencia muy buena, estuvimos mi compañero y yo durante mas de un mes y pudimos hacer infinidad de cosas. A parte del trabajo tuvimos tiempo de sobra para realizar actividades libres, como: excursiones, buceo, ver sunsets… aparte los tours que entran con el voluntariado estan muy bien y son muy divertidos. Solamente quiero dar las gracias a todo el equipo del hostel, por la experiencia.

I had a great time at the hostel! Everyone was respectful and friendly. Thank you for having me and making me feel so included. Staying in the jungle was fantastic as you see new animals all the time and really connect with nature.

Ha sido una experiencia increíble. Al principio fue difícil adaptarme… un lugar aislado, “difícil de alcanzar”, rodeado de una naturaleza salvaje y virgen, con solo un pequeño pueblito… pero ya después empezé a saborear la esencia de este lugar. El jardín del hostal es un documental en vivo, los tours son increíbles gracias a Edu y Emi, guías maravillosas. Gracias también por las mil aventuras entre cascadas y bosques, gracias David. Gracias por las fiestas, por la ayuda, por la comida compartida y por tanto cariño. El trabajo es sencillo, pero cuenta mucho la iniciativa.

The hostel felt like home to me. The environment is absolutely stunning. Thanks to the tours they offer and all the activities going on, you really get the chance to explore the area. The tasks can vary a lot, depending on the role you apply for. The team is very open to new ideas and encourages you to realize them. At times, things could use a bit more structure, especially when it comes to tasks in the hostel, but the experience overall was amazing. I met incredible people and truly appreciate everything I learned during my time there. This place will always hold a special spot in my heart.

I stayed a month at the hostel and it was a big surprise. It was my first time in Costa Rica and I discovered the true beauty of this country. It's a quiet place in the heart of the jungle, it was a very good discovery, like something I've never known before. The work is easy, but for me, the schedule needs more organization. The staff is really nice and I had such a good time being part of the hostel family. I highly recommend it to someone looking for an unforgettable experience. Also get ready to live in the middle of the jungle and in a small town.

My time at the hostel was amazing. It was my first volunteer experience and definitely succeeded my expectations. Although the volunteer do get a lot of responsibility, the schedule was kept fair and you had enough time to explore beautiful Drake Bay on your days off. Thank you to everyone at the hostel for making me feel so welcome and at home!

⚠️ Management changed. You will not have the same experience old volunteers did ⚠️ There was no team or staff, just a cleaner a few hours weekly. Hours were unclear and I was pressured to work more than agreed. The restaurant is sublet and I was dragged into fights over who paid for toilet paper and soap for the shared bathroom. A tour guide was kicked out due to an incident with an old volunteer. This was never disclosed to me. I lived with him for days and was made to supervise his departure alone. They had a broken water filter and knew it, but had volunteers drink unsafe water for days.

Hi Luz—thanks for sharing. We ended the exchange two weeks early due to ongoing frictions with other volunteers and staff; we prioritize a respectful team environment. After we communicated this, you threatened to leave a negative review, so we don’t believe this comment is objective. Management has not changed. We invite readers to check our other reviews—especially from volunteers who overlapped with Luz—for a balanced view. We wish her well.

I had a good time at the hostel in Drake Bay. The location is really beautiful, it is perfect to immerse yourself in nature. I had time to explore the area, to meet locals and I was able to do amazing tours to the national park. When I arrived the hostel was a bit disorganized because the old manager just left and there was no structure for the volunteers, nevertheless we managed the situation. The hours were fair and the tasks easy for me to do. I recommend volunteering here if you are self organized and maybe already have some experience working at a hostel.
