I enjoyed working at the restaurant, preparing and serving food. The food is absolutely delicious, I will miss it and will try some of the recipes at home for sure. Thanks for… read more

Iina was a fantastic volunteer we really enjoyed having her. She did everything that was asked of her and was very good training new volunteers. I would highly recommend her to any other workaway.

I can highly recommend this place! Amazing team, beautiful view, delicious food, easy work, lots of free time and additional benefits like free stay at some other hostels in Guatemala. I enjoyed my time so much I ended up extending and staying twice as long as I'd planned.

Teaching at Raul's English academy was a lovely experience. The students are very friendly, polite and eager to learn. The staff Raul, Shamir and Morena are welcoming, helpful and friendly.

We couldn't have asked for a better volunteer than Iina! At the time she arrived we were very short staffed and she stepped up working extra hard to help us bridge this gap, she was the perfect person to have at a difficult time. She was very social and great with our guests and :asterisk_symbol:also:asterisk_symbol: excellent at the office work… read more

I love this place! I stayed at the Auberge for six weeks doing mostly front desk. Getting a hang of the job isn't hard because the place is so well run. Every datail is thought out and instructions are clear. Working front desk is interesting and versatile and you will always have management's support when you need it. The perfect location between… read more

Micah is an absolutely awesome host. He's a really nice, hospitable and open minded guy with endless funny stories. He's an excellent cook and you definitely won't go hungry at his farm. True to his word he doesn't work the volunteers hard so you will have a lot of time to enjoy the beautiful region. This was my first time working at a farm so it… read more

Iina was a wonderful guest here on the farm. Very pleasant to get along with and the easiest to please Vegan I have known haha. She was a huge help and once she knew what to do, was a self starter and required very little direction. A pleasure to have around and talk to. Highest rating !

I stayed at Grace's place in Jersey City for three weeks helping her keep the house clean. The house is very close to the subway which will take you to Manhattan in 10 minutes and the neighborhood is nice. The help wasn't too hard and left me a lot of time to explore New York City.
Grace and Liky are both super nice and cook amazing food. Grace… read more
