Caleb and Luis are really great hosts! They were very kind, welcoming and generous with me and I had a really good time staying with them! Also the location of the place is truly beautiful and from a walk distance you can go to the city, to the cahuita national park, to the beach and more. They have a lot of renovations to do on the house, so not a 5star hotel for sure, but the good side is it that makes a lot of different things to do for volunteers. I would definitely recommend going if you have some building or renovating experience or skills!

The stay in Cahuita was absolutely fantastic. If you want to live close to the beach and nature, this is the place to go. Louise was incredibly nice and very helpful if we had any questions. The tasks were very simple and the working hours were flexible. Thank you very much for a lovely stay!

Our stay at the hostel was amazing! The work is not too hard and the location is absolutely stunning. Luis made us feel at home and gave us tips about what to do around the area. If you love the beach, beautiful nature and animals I recommend this place 100%! Thank you so much for our stay. I really hope to be back one day <3
