Vom Host für Workawayer (Oscar Jair)
Oscar stayed with us for 2 weeks in March 2023, helping sand and stain wooden windows, paint outdoor walls, and generally prepare the guesthouse for our summer season. He was clear and straightforward with his communication and travel arrangements, and we enjoyed getting to know him and having some good conversations over dinner. We'd happily have

Mark and Tom are incredibly attentive hosts, they're always friendly and trying to make sure your stay is pleasant.
The work I did was basically repainting some windows and walls. They prepare delicious meals and always allowed me to bake my favourite banana bread at their kitchen and the last thing but not less important...their retrievers; Otis

Vom Host für Workawayer (James)
James stayed with us for about 8 weeks in June/July 2022, and was a very friendly, reliable and willing Helper.
He quickly took responsibility for a whole range of daily chores, keeping the pool, terraces and guesthouse rooms clean and tidy, as well as helping prepare and serve our regular guest dinners. Not surprisingly, given his professional

James was happy to fit in with our flexible work schedule, and also joined in easily with all the usual household stuff, helping prepare meals, etc. He spent his free time exploring the local area, or just enjoying the pool and other guesthouse facilities, and socialising with other guests who were staying.
We'd certainly have James to stay with us again, and are very happy to recommend him to other hosts!
Thanks for all your help, James!

WHAT A SUMMER!!
I had such an amazing time at the Finca this summer. I felt welcome as soon as I was collected from the airport, Mark and Tom are very hospitable hosts. The Finca is breathtakingly beautiful and I pinched myself every morning I woke up there. As well as being in the mountains, the facilities at the Finca was great too, pool,

The guests really make it even more special, they are kind, generous, fun and there to rest but enjoy others company too, I learnt a lot from the guests which I will be eternally grateful for. The work that was given to me was easily understandable, not too strenuous and well planned out throughout the working week. My morning routine and chores became a very enjoyable time, early in the morning cleaning the pool and terraces was something to look forward to waking up, rather than dreading. The guests dinners were a special part of the week too, a change to sit down all together and taste Tom's fabulous cooking, I will remember the almond olive oil cake for many moons!! It's a great workaway and can't recommend more, thanks T and M :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

We liked Juan immediately when he made contact with us, and after speaking with him we were keen for him to come and stay and help us. Unfortunately (because of our personal circumstances, nothing to do with Juan) we were not able to go ahead with Juan visiting us as planned.

Absolutely wonderful! I am so glad to have had the pleasure of coming to Finca La Maroma; where to begin!
This is by no means my first volunteering experience and let me firstly say - The hosts are a delight who will quickly become your friends! Everything is fair and crystal clear, they're great conversation, fantastic cookery, extremely

And there's the added bonus of not only it's stunningly serene, gorgeous location but the two idiosyncratic, incredibly beautiful rescue dogs Homer and Otis!
Whether you're new to volunteering and feel a little nervous about where to go first, or have plenty experience already, you'll definitely feel at home, welcome and content the second you meet the wee family!
If it's fair, open, respected, funny, sunny, memory-making good times with good guys you're looking for then this is the place to go.
I'm delighted to now call these guys my friends!
10/10, would recommend to anyone.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Cameron)
Cameron has stayed and helped us several times over the last five years (June 2017 to January 2022), both while our guesthouse was open during the summer, and with maintenance, construction and gardening in winter. He is an extremely friendly, willing and reliable Helper, and we very much enjoy having him stay with us.
Over the years, Cameron has

Shaun stayed with us for about 5 weeks in June / July 2019. He took responsibility for a range of daily chores, keeping the pool and terraces clean and tidy, and we were grateful for his punctual and conscientious approach to work.

We appreciated Shaun's early communication to plan his visit and, having worked through a number of detailed questions, the way he made clear travel plans and stuck to them.
We are happy to recommend Shaun to other hosts, and wish him well for his future travels.

Mark and Tom are special, but so is this oasis in the mountains. Surrounded by pure beauty with the sounds of nature, it’s only for the special few who get to experience it. Time with Otis and Homer (dogs), and the cats became appreciated for this New Yorker seeking out calm.

I was always on time and always put in my best, as I tend to go beyond expectations. My efforts seem to be appreciated. The work was a breeze, and using common sense is recommended. I looked forward to my work days.
The location, my room, and not to mention the amazing culinary delights of Tom, made it all worth it. I came to look forward to dinners with the guests, it was a chance to do what I enjoy most about traveling, connecting with people from all walks of life. I also enjoyed my conversations with mark, while Tom mostly rehearsed piano for his upcoming concerts, and that was a wonderful soundtrack to our day's routine.
Thank you Tom and Mark for sharing your home with me. it’s a moment in time I will not soon forget. I with you the best always.

I had an amazing experience this past month helping out Mark and Tom. The daily chores were laid out clearly and I understood what was expected of me. Mark and Tom prepare dinner twice a week for all the guests that you assist with and it’s a nice way to get to know everyone.
Mark and Tom are wonderfully kind, helpful, and very patient.

We had the most wonderful time with Mark & Tom! An unbeatable workaway experience. We enjoyed working on their land, learning all sorts of new building and laboring skills, and staying in their beautiful Finca which they have put so much love into. Of course, like many other workaway reviews, special mention should be made of Tom's superb cooking

Annabel & Brian stayed with us for just over two weeks in January 2013, and were very friendly and willing helpers to have around.
