2 months volunteering here went by so fast I can’t believe it! You’re never short of something to do - super close beach with great surf (I’m more of a read a book at the beach kind of guy but other people love the surf), waterfalls, rivers in the jungle, friendly locals (I played basketball with them every Tuesday night which was so much fun),… read more

This spot truly is a gem. My time here was only for two weeks but it felt much longer because of how much fun this place is. Clem has a dream spot here, one that has me forever grateful to be a part of. Easy to recommend to any volunteer or guest. Until next time everyone!

Zawk is a super amazing guy.
Always a smile on his face and has such a positive aura that surrounds him.
He was here for quite a short period of time but we definately wished that he could have stayed longer - We enjoyed his presernce greatly.
Plus - He is one of those people who you can blindly count on that the work will be done.

I was here for a week and really enjoyed my stay here! Work expectations are very reasonable and the volunteer staff was top shelf. Location of the hostel is amazing to get anywhere. Basically walking distance anywhere! I loved it because I thrive in a setting where I get to interact with many people. This hostel is nothing short of a good time… read more

Zawk was the ultimate help for a small and homey place like ours.

He is responsible, smart, fast learning and always see the bigger picture.
He immediately became friend with all the guests, volunteers and the community of Odem village who live around us.

Zawk has the amazing ability of being the funny "childish" one and the mature and… read more

An absolute dream workaway scenario! For 6 weeks, this place was my home. It really is hard for me to put into words how special this hostel was in my eyes. It starts with our one of a kind hostel family. Volunteers and guests from around the world became one harmonious group of travelers. Truly a family. Together, we enjoyed the sights and sounds… read more

Zawk spent 8 weeks with us and from day one his attention to detail and self motivation was apparant. Happy with any task, Zawk could be counted on to do whatever was asked of him to the best of his ability. All of our staff and helpers live on site, so creating a homely feel and including everyone into that is one of our biggest priorities. Zawk… read more

I spent 6 weeks helping at this hostel. The town is small with a slow and friendly vibe. Danny and Paula run the place efficiently and never ask too much work of you. Basically we established a real family feel here. Especially through the Christmas and New Year's holiday season. If you're looking for a good time at a great hostel in a magnificent… read more

After my 4 weeks here in the home that is nestled discretely in Mount Nebo, I felt as if I had been there for months. Elissa and her family made me feel right at home and showed me a great time. I was also educated in the rhelms of healthy cooking, yoga, meditation and sustainability. The landscape is beautiful, very much like the spirit of the… read more

I spent a month living here with Nicole. We had a blast together! We spend a lot of time working together but also sharing our life experiences with each other. My favorite time of the day was during meals. Just talking with each other about anything. She gave me my own bedroom in the downstairs that had a kitchen, full bathroom and even a sun… read more

I volunteered for Jen and Tracey for almost 3 months. The place is in great location and the vibe is awesome. You'll meet travelers from all over the world here! If you like the Pura Vida beach life I would recommend this place to any traveler or volunteer. I know I will visit again in the future.
