¡Entendido! Aquí tienes la versión ajustada y mejorada con “remodelación de su casa”:

Muy buena experiencia para mi primer voluntariado. Yolanda estuvo siempre atenta y disponible. Me asignó una tarea para colaborar en la remodelación de su casa histórica, muy bien ubicada en el centro de Burriana (Castellón), cerca de tiendas y servicios. Es un proyecto muy bonito que busca conservar parte de la historia de la comunidad, y me encantó poder aportar a ello.

The experience here was not quite as expected and needs quite a few improvements before I can recommend it. The house itself is falling apart and needs much more work than volunteers can possibly provide before it is safe and comfortable. While in theory the experience sounds interesting, the lack of basic amenities for cooking and living didn't make staying at this place worth it.

In the lead up the host (Yolanda) was appalling at communicating, and when she did get back to me it was to tell me, less than a week before I was due to be at the experience, that she wouldn't actually be there herself. Instead it was another man who she'd found on facebook. Already there was a major issue as this man hadn't been verified or anything by Worldpackers. Once I arrived, the house itself was a health and safety risk. There's exposed wiring everywhere, holes in the roof, no heating or insulation and not even the basic amenities like a kettle.

Host with whom I chatted virtually seems like a lovely lady. BUT, she does NOT live there
When I arrived & entered the empty house, it looked like a scene from a horror movie
The house is like a construction zone & not a renovating project
I felt compelled to stay at a hotel
In short - description does not reflect reality. Material facts as to condition of the house are omitted. The construction integrity did not seem sound
Sadly, Host reported me as NO SHOW, so I could not leave a review. Similar has been done to other WPs. Luckily, I recorded my arrival and was able to prove otherwise

I liked this experience for getting around and seeing some places, as for example you just need 30 minutes to get to the train station, from where you are able to get to Valencia, Castellón or even Peníscola. I had a lot of free time, so I could even visit another place on a working day! I loved to go to the beach which takes about 50 minutes of walking, but it's totally worth it! The supermarket is just 2 minutes away and the laundry center is also close by, however it is around 5-6€ for washing. This place still needs a lot of work, so it's not for everybody. But to see spain it is perfect!
