Description
¡Hola! Hey there! Hallo!
Nice to meet you!
We‘re a lovely hostel which is located in beautiful La Fortuna. I am Wilson, 40 years old, born and raised in La Fortuna. I am managing this place and I am looking for friendly, responsible and open-minded people who would like to support us at the reception.
During your free time, you can read, make art, play the guitar, just relax in our hammocks or connect with many people at the hostel, who are coming from all over the world.
We are located in a peaceful area, but at the same time, you‘re just 5 minutes away from the main square. There you‘ll find several supermarkets, restaurants and bars, an ATM, a park and a bus station to all directions (we will provide full information).
Around 500 meters away, there is a sloth trail, 1,5 km away, you'll find a river where you can jump inside, 5 km away we have a beautiful waterfall.
There are more activities, such as Ziplining, hiking to the volcano, White Water Rafting, a coffee tour and many other things where we can help you with planning.
In this place, you can find a lovely balance between peace and adventure.
We‘re looking forward to meeting you!
¡Hasta luego! 🦥
Types of help and learning opportunities
Hospitality/Tourism
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteering in this hostel is a great opportunity to connect with many people from many different countries, which makes it great to get to know other languages and cultures and share stories and knowledge. While living in La Fortuna, you will learn to see the area from a local perspective. If you want to learn about the Spanish language and cuisine, here is the right place for that :-)
Help
We will need your help at the reception. The work will be:
- checking in the guests, taking payments, showing them our hostel, telling them about tours and what to do in the area
-support with general maintenance of the hostel, keeping the kitchen and common area clean, putting laundry in the washing machine
-> A good command of the English language is required. You don‘t need to speak Spanish, but it would be a plus :-) Otherwise, here you would have a good opportunity to learn/improve your Spanish skills.
If you have a license and you're comfortable with driving as well, it would be great if you could help us to drive the guests to different places in the area. (This is not a must, but would be a huge plus if you could help us with that)
For the help, we will provide accommodation, as well as Internet, laundry once per week, one meal per day (usually breakfast), plus water, coffee or tea all the time.

Accommodation
Important note: At the moment we can only accept women as volunteers, as we only have a female dormitory available.
You‘ll get a bed in our female dormitory, which is only for volunteers. The bathroom and the kitchen are shared. Of course, you can use our Wifi and all facilities of our hostel.
We will provide one meal per day, if you`re Vegetarian/Vegan or allergic to lactose/gluten, that is no problem.
What else ...
La Fortuna is a beautiful and popular destination, that is surrounded by nature with a volcano as your neighbor :-)
We are just 2 hours away from San Jose and less than 3 hours from Manuel Antonio, Jaco, Tamarindo and Samara. We can help you with the bus schedules from wherever you‘re coming.
