I had a really good and relaxed stay here. Everybody was really nice, I loved the little wooden cabin and Garden and the host was super flexible. I also loved driving with the bike to the beach close by. If you want to experience a authentic Costa Rican small town and get in contact with locals I would recommend it. Thanks for that experience :)

My girlfriend and me had a wonderful time staying with Danilo. Unfortunately my girlfriend got sick in the beginning but Danilo and Consuela took wonderful care of her so that she got better in no time. The work hours were reasonable and Danilo always made sure that we the lodge't have to work during the hot times of the day. Apart from the work Danilo is very connected with his community and had many recommendations for adventures in the area, he even gave us bikes so we could get around super easily. We would definitely recommend staying with Danilo, it was a great time. ✨

Danilo is awesome! He is very involved in his community, and staying with Danilo you feel involved in the community as well. The tasks are very fair and laid back - he wants his volunteers to work where they have strengths, and as a group of two we only worked 2.5 hours a day. There was a lot of Spanish practice (Danilo speaks some English - but mostly Spanish), and because we are fluent in English, most of our tasks involved teaching English to people in the community. The lodging is definitely rustic, but Danilo has bikes and makes his volunteers feel at home. I would recommend!

Our stay with Danilo and Consuelo was amazing. In just two weeks we got to immerse in the community and get to know the beautiful town. Danilo is very involved in his community and is so welcoming and friendly to his volunteers. He makes you feel right at home. He took care of us and helped us with planning to go to the national park and we got to practice lots of Spanish. Note that the accommodations are rustic, but have everything you need including a comfortable bed, kitchen, mosquito bed net. Also the climate is very hot because obviously it is the rainforest! Highly recommend!!

We spent two weeks with Danny and Cielo. It was a mixture of laughter, English, Spanish, work and lots of adventures. The place is very well located, close to playa blanca and a river. The bicycles provided were very useful. For work, we mainly picked up leaves, taught English to locals and painted. Danny knows how to adapt to our different abilities, and has never made us work under very strong heat. We played a lot cards, talked, learned a little Spanish and discovered the city and its surroundings. The animals are adorable. You won't regret coming. Thank you for everything, Jay x Clarita
