Comunica molto chiaramente quindi… read more
¡Gracias por estar con nosotros!
El trabajo fue divertido, aprendí mucho y siempre estoy feliz de volver con barbara y franco.
Súper adecuado para el ambiente de nuestro hostal.
Comunicativa y divertida
I just think you lack experience.
She was supposed to stay with us for 1 month, but after 2/3 days she preferred to give up

Pero ella no se conectó con nadie del staff y no cooperó en nada.
Pasó sus horas trabajando en la computadora por sí misma, tomándose unos momentos para promocionar nuestro hostal on líne.… read more
Tutto positivo!
Grazie Mariana di essere tata con noi!
In assoluto il migliore volontario con cui abbiamo collaborato!
Solare, disponibile, intelligente, geniale, comunicativo, simpatico, gentile e non so cosa dire di piu' ....

Muchas gracias por todo cariño y amistad. He… read more
