Description
Hi my name is Kendal! I’m from Southern California in the United States. At some point in my life I had a realization of how important it was to me to see the diversity of the world and began to seek out travelling to other countries. I love the beach and ocean, swimming anywhere and everywhere, adventure, and exploring new places, meeting new people and getting to have friends all over the world. I've been to 24 different countries and volunteered 14 different times (after working countless hours in the states and saving for my travels) I and hope to keep continuing my travels around this beautiful world.

My time with Sharom was great. Sharom is an amazing host. He took us to some of the best local food I’ve had in Malaysia and some of my favorite dishes of the world. We always had lunch and dinner together and it was a great time enyoying a meal and conversation. He showed us Melaka and lots of it’s staples, including cendole and coconut shake… read more

A Dynamic Duo: Kendal and Zara - Pillars of Hospitality

I recently had the pleasure of hosting Kendal and Zara at my hostel and guest house from March 20th to April 5th, 2024, and their contributions were nothing short of exceptional. They effortlessly transformed the atmosphere of the establishment with their dedication, professionalism, and… read more warm hospitality.

From the moment Kendal and Zara joined our team, they demonstrated a remarkable work ethic and an eagerness to exceed expectations. Their responsibilities ranged from maintaining the cleanliness of the premises to ensuring that guests felt welcome and attended to throughout their stay.

First and foremost, Kendal and Zara tackled housekeeping duties with unparalleled efficiency. The cleanliness and tidiness of the rooms were consistently impeccable under their care. They approached each task with meticulous attention to detail, leaving no corner untouched. From preparing beds to refreshing amenities, they ensured that every guest felt as though they were entering a haven of comfort and serenity.

Moreover, Kendal and Zara exhibited exceptional interpersonal skills in their interactions with guests. They went above and beyond to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, greeting arrivals with genuine smiles and engaging in friendly conversations. Their personable nature fostered a sense of community within the establishment, making guests feel like valued members of our extended family.

In addition to their exemplary service within the hostel, Kendal and Zara also took charge of maintaining the guest house's pool area. Their diligence in keeping the pool clean and well-maintained contributed significantly to the overall guest experience. Whether it was skimming debris from the water's surface or ensuring that poolside amenities were fully stocked, they approached their responsibilities with dedication and a keen eye for detail.

Furthermore, Kendal and Zara proved to be invaluable assets in managing the administrative tasks associated with the hostel and guest house. From keying in new bookings to updating the reservation system, they handled their duties with efficiency and accuracy, ensuring seamless operations behind the scenes.

In summary, Kendal and Zara epitomize the epitome of hospitality. Their unwavering dedication, exceptional work ethic, and genuine warmth significantly enhanced the guest experience at my establishment. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any host or employer seeking individuals who are not only proficient in their duties but also passionate about creating memorable experiences for guests. Kendal and Zara, thank you for your outstanding service – you are true gems in the realm of hospitality.
Plse come back again in the near future. Bye
Sharom

My stay at the hostel was amazing. The vibe around the river is so nice, Emilio is a great host and treated us very well, the work we did was some painting, sanding and staining, and helping clear the lake for paddleboarding. In our free time we went kayaking, enjoyed the nature around, and when Emilio is there your sure to do something fun like… read more

Cuenca, the school, and all the people are great. The staff is friendly and the students of all different levels are great to talk to. Cuenca is a beautiful city to explore in your freetime. Diego is a great host and the house is cozy and has a great kitchen and patio. I had a wonderful time at this school and with all the people!
