I was sure I arrive to the place to be a yoga teacher, was very hard to communicate with the owner before arrival. only in the morning before picking me up at Panama City in a heavy rainy day he told me I will not teach yoga there, I didn't have other choice at that point.
I asked what will happen if I come and I will want to leave before time?… read more and he threatened me that he will leave a bad feedback about me on workaway.
I was feeling lost and uncomfortable at the place, the place is very dirty, there is no real place to practice yoga at all. as a volunteer food supposed to be included for me but everything was chaotic and they were cooking mostly meat for the team (im vegan). so I had to buy my own food for the whole period.
I had to cook for myself in a very dirty kitchen, the gas was workingvery bad.
I had to understand myself what should I do as a volunteer and the place felt abandoned with almost no people including the team.
I was sitting at the reception desk 5 hours a day doing nothing... the work schedule was really not clear and anyway like I said before, I was sure I arrive to the place as a yoga teacher and this was my interest in arriving. so I felt from the the beginning like Iv'e been manipulated to arrive.
one time I did the laundry for 2 girls that asked for their laundry to be ready at a specific time, and paid. I thought the owner would e happy I work in the laundry because there was accumulation of dirty laundry because the cleaning lady didn't arrive, but instead he got very angry, saying its not my authority to enter the laundry room (never been told about that).
after that he was also writing to a girl I met there that was his guest at the hostel by WhatsApp message to stay away from me because i'm a ad influence for her.
another night the cat pee at my room in the dorms and the smell was horrible, their solution was just to spray horrible chemical spray all around and didn't offer us other room instead. eventually we asked for another room because the smell was impossible.
I asked the owner to leave after one week of work at his hostel, one day in advance, and I got very bad reaction from him, felt afraid unwelcome without any compassion to try to understand me or just saying goodbye in a good way.
I was afraid to come back to the hostel to take my stuff, was accused to be spoiled and complaining person.
the negative experience is still with me and I recommend you to avoid working or being a guest at this place...

We have had many volunteers and years. we have no problems with any volunteer but we cannot leave a positive evaluation, it is important to follow the rules of the place and comply with the tasks, not to speak badly of the place that gives you the opportunity to enter, not to comply with the rules and criticize the place that only wants to help or… read more
