La Casa de las Estrellas

The animal sanctuary and rescue center is a unique place for a volunteering experience. There is a variety of rescued animals, who are all treated and cared for as individuals. There is the opportunity to spend time with and connect to the animals, as well as learn about them and their needs.

I am happy to share everything with the people living at my place. I would like people to be part of the community, help each other out, and treat everybody, including animals and the surroundings, with respect. We also share meals together and we want to respect all types of diets, and expect the same from our volunteers.

The work is simple, you have to give the animals food and medication when needed, and clean. The finca is surrounded by nature and you can reach the sea on foot. The accommodation has limited resources, which leads you to an awareness of the environmental footprint. The close contact with the animals can be challenging at times as it is difficult to have moments of silence and tranquility. Unfortunately we were not told that the shower only works in a narrow time slot, but only that there is no hot water.

Unfortunately, we missed the deadline for leaving official feedback – so we’re sharing our thoughts here in the comments.

Noemi carried out the tasks assigned to her in a conscientious and well-organized manner. She was great with cleaning and did a good job in the kitchen: together with Roberto, she often ensured that everyone had something nice to eat. Interaction with people and animals remained rather neutral and sometimes showed little emotional engagement.

My experience was positive and immersive for the deep contact with the animals: in addition to giving them food and cuddles in certain situations medications are also required. The farm is located in a beautiful place, completely immersed in the nature of Lanzarote from which you can see and easily reach the sea. The accommodation may not be within everyone's reach due to the limited resources and the close contact with the animals but it is still an experience that I recommend to develop awareness of the needs of the animals and of one's own environmental footprint.

Roberto was a valuable support for our team. He was friendly, well organized and worked in a structured and reliable way. He showed great empathy towards the animals and often offered his skills and time beyond what was expected. In addition, his work in the kitchen was especially appreciated – together with Noemi, he many times made sure we had something nice to eat.

I had an amazing experience at la Casa de las Estrellas! It's definitely a one-of-a-kind place where I met many incredible people from all over the world.
The first few days can be a bit challenging because of the new environment (living so closely with animals, limited access to water & electricity, hearing animal noises all day long). But once you adapt, the work with the animals is truly rewarding and you begin to appreciate the simple, slower pace of life.
So if you love animals and don't mind a more rustic and off-grid lifestyle this is an amazing experience you will never forget!

My stay at la casa de las estrellas was a great experience. I learned a lot about animals.
I never had an intense contact with farm animals before, it was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever experienced .
Every animal is very friendly, and I also fell in love with a few:)
There are also many kinds of animals inside the house, which was hard to get used to for me.
But after a few days, it was completely normal and I also liked it in the end:)
I had a great time and I’m sure I will come back one day.

The experience was very good overall. The people were great and the animals are friendly. We get lots of food options to chose from and the work is manageable. The worst part is the noise of all the animals but if you can handle the noise then the work is very rewarding and the island is interesting to explore.
