Idris looked after my house and dog for 2 weeks while I traveled. He is very trustworthy and enthusiastic. He likes to cook and he is always eager to clean the dishes.
I only wish I had more time to share my gardening knowledge with him. With instruction he does very well.

I would have liked to have shared more of my gardening skills with them but time did not allow although they were keen to follow instructions.

It was a pleasure hosting Michel. He is very much a gentleman, comfortable working on his own with very little instruction. He checked off my list with pleasure and enthusiasm. He could see what had to be done before I asked and accomplished each task with pride. He is reliable, clean, neat and tidy. I felt comfortable leaving him alone in my home… read more

Had a great week with Lynda. Lovely location in the hills looking down on samaipata. Plenty of work to keep us busy which was good. We tried to get most things done on her list but run out of time. Thanks lynda for having us.

John and Karen stayed with me for a week and we got most of my list checked off. Raised garden beds were made, Front door painted, shed painted and other touch ups. Weed pulling and plantings kept them busy. They approached each day with enthusiasm.

It sure was nice having a mature and knowledgeable person help me out here. Kevin helped with some painting and some electrical work. He is meticulous and takes great pride in his work.
He was clean, neat and tidy and communicated well. His knowledge of spanish was a plus.

Hannah came and helped me for a week here, Samaipata Bolivia. Hannah helped me sand and paint two small tables. I was so pleased with her attention to detail.
Hannah is a delightful and conscientious young woman. Let her in the kitchen, you will be pleased.

This was the first time I had left my guest house to anyone. I was gone for a week and when I came home everything was clean and orderly and the guests were happy.
Skylar and Maddi are very reliable trustworthy. I took a chance and was very happy.
I'll call them next time I want to go away...

I had a lovely time, and lynda was a great host to have. I helped out and put some windows on in one room, painted them, cut the grass. It was the perfect place to collect some thoughts and meet nice people, very chillax. Thanks for a nice experience.

Such a pleasure to stay with Lynda. I had to enjoye the services like a guest although she was not that fit at that time and she gave me every information I needed to explore the village and the nice sights near Samaipata. Lynda, it would be nice to meet again, I'm already missing to be picked by Guapita!

It was a pleasure having Gerald help me here. He is a hard and enthusiastic worker who puts in more time than what is expected. He can see what has to be done and proceeds with enthusiasm. I think one of his best skills is organizing. I had an area that was a mess and he just went in and tackled it like a pro.
I would highly recommend Gerald.

I stayed with Lynda for 2 weeks to paint her fence and help out around the garden. It was a great experience! I worked about 4 hours a day, and Lynda was very flexible and allowed me to choose my hours to suit the weather and to fit in what I wanted to do in the area. She also makes a great breakfast every morning! Samaipata is a nice quiet town… read more
