I stayed one week woth Ruby and Khirol and everything was perfect! Their house is in the middle of a tropical jungle and it’s the perfect place if you need to relax and take some time for yourself. Both of them are very friendly and willing to give you a hand, I had a great time there!

Both of them are so lovely and they took care of me like i was a family member of them. I enjoyed the work (gardening, feeding animals...) a lot.
