Vom Workawayer (NOELLE & Charles-Antoine ) für Host

Our stay at Roque was only supposed to last a week ... and in the end we stayed at Kays' Hotspring Resort for over a month :)

We were delighted to be able to participate in the development of the organic farm and particularly in the construction of the pig fences. That's one of the reasons why we decided to stay longer - we wanted to contribute… read more

Vom Workawayer (Kyle) für Host

I spent about two weeks at the at hot springs in Sta Lourdes. While the accommodations were acceptable, the situation as a volunteer was a bit surprising and not at all what the host listing made it out to be. Sir Roque fulfilled his duties as a host making sure the volunteers were fed and housed but that was about the extent of it. The reality of… read more the situation is that all the businesses that are talked about in the listing have been closed since the start of the pandemic as they were businesses targeted at the tourist industry which was nonexistent when things went into lockdown. Additionally the hot spring "resort" sustained damage during the typhoon in 2021 and is in major disrepair. In the evenings it still draws a few guests that come to soak in the few spring fed pools that are still maintained but it's far from the functioning tourist resort it once was. It seems as though many of the rooms in resort have been left to deteriorate over the past few years, with the bathrooms covered in rust and corrosion and the ceilings, walls, even dressers covered in extensive mold. I'm not a very high maintenance volunteer- I've stayed in pretty rough conditions, sleeping on the floor in a shipping container with no air conditioning for instance, but the conditions here had me genuinely concerned for my health.

The work itself was at the "farm" which also seemed to have not been functional as a farm for quite some time. The main task the volunteers were given for the short time I was there was putting up concrete posts for fencing around the property and then also clearing out and fencing in a pen in preparation for raising 20 piglets. A majority of the tasks we were given seemed to not have a purpose behind them and felt more like they were given to us just to keep us busy. There were tools we could use to make certain jobs more efficient and yet we were given specific instruction to perform the tasks by hand instead. For the majority of my time there I was tasked with carrying large rocks from a river about 500m away to the future pig pen to stack around the bottom of the fence so the piglets couldn't squeeze through the gap under it. I tried to keep a positive attitude and look on the bright side at what I could get out of the experience, namely getting a good workout and exercising my body but that was about the extent of the benefits. We mainly worked with Sir Roque's employee Eloy who was actually really kind and helpful and I would say interacting with him was the only redeeming part of the experience. Sir Roque on the other hand was largely absent doing his own thing and the short amount of time we would spend together during meals he mostly neglected to engage with the volunteers instead choosing to interact with others in Tagalog instead.

Overall it felt like as volunteers there we were largely under-utilized or under-appreciated which led to most of the volunteers leaving shortly after they arrived. I arrived with pretty high expectations after reading the previous positive reviews, but left feeling disappointed and sad for the other volunteers who also planned their travel based on a listing that clearly hasn't been updated to reflect the current situation.

Sir Roque is a very generous host with amazing stories. I spent 10 days staying at the hot springs with his family and other employees. I would work one full day and then get a day off. The employees at the farm are wonderful and Hannah (6 year old Daughter) is always keen to learn and play.

My first work away. We enjoyed our weeks stay in the hot spring. They have provided us a good accommodation and enjoyed our breakfast with Sir Roque and the staffs. Also, trying their hotspring pools at night is the best for relaxation.

At first, the staffs are shy talking to us but talk to them daily and offer help as a volunteer. You'll find… read more

So where to begin ... we spent about 2 weeks at the Hot springs with two other great volunteers and the amazing staff.

Sir Roque owns various businesses, the hot spring resort and spa, the Park Grill, a cafe, a restaurant, a souvenir outlet, the pearl musuem so there is plenty of place to help out.

The staff at first might seem a bit distant… read more
