Sam, Jim, and Mark were extremely welcoming, patient, and supportive with all the volunteers. They give you leverage to decide on what part of the job feels most comfortable to you and where you could provide most help. The accommodation is not a 5 star hotel, but you have everything you need: cantina with food supplies and internet, comfortable shared dorm with bathroom, and closed shower just outside the cantina. Plus Mark's cooking really is quite good. I felt super at home here at the host and am very grateful to have had such a wonderful first volunteer opportunity.

My time at the host has allowed me to get back to the basics with nature, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone here is very welcoming, and I felt very included from the start. This place is excellent for learning new skills and meeting new friends, an experience I would recommend and will never forget. Thank you to all at the host Team.

Volunteering with the host was an incredible experience. The work is very physical, which can be tiring at times, but it is also very doable. This opportunity is great for learning languages, as there's a chance that another volunteer is a speaker or learner of your target language/s as well. There's ample free time that I used to explore the surrounding wilderness and build deep connections with the other volunteers, and the organizers planned fun outings for the weekends. The dorm situation is comfortable, and Mark cooks delicious food for lunch. I truly loved my time there.

From the moment we first arrived at the host, we felt very welcomed. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. The work is psychical, as mentioned on their FAQ page, although it is rewarding and interesting to acquire new skills and learn about the project itself. The connection with the group of volunteers and hosts is brilliant; we enjoyed socialising with everyone at the weekends and getting to know people from all over the world. We would highly recommend this as a unique experience.

The host is one the most ambitious art projects I have seen in my life and I felt fortunate to contribute a little bit. The task at hand is massive but satisfying at the same time, so come work and learn new skills, you won't regret it! The team is amazing and will welcome you with open arms and delicious food, making you feel at home right away. It was wonderful to meet volunteers from all over the world and share stories. Be warned that the place is remote, so the weekend break is more likely to be a relaxing afternoon by the lake than clubbing all night... Thanks and see you next year!

My time at the host was awesome! I'm really happy this was my first volunteering experience, the team is great and the group of volunteers I had the chance to meet was super nice. The project is incredibly interesting and I feel super happy to have contributed for at least a couple of days. The work is challenging but if the vibe of the group is good the time moves so quickly! Building walls is like making a 3D puzzle, fun! Much love, Flor

The best experience of my life. My first volunteering and recommended to everyone, what an amazing place, sensational people. Suzy and Sam literally make you feel part of the family and the place. People from all countries gathered always in connection with nature, respecting and sharing their cultures. I will definitely be back! The love that is in that place is indescribable, everyone is amazing, each one with their own particularity but always with respect and love for others. I recommend it to everyone, please go live the best experience of your lives. Love you all and thanks again!

The host was my first volunteer exchange and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the second I arrived I felt welcome and appreciated, and all of the staff and volunteers were wonderful. Sam and his sister Suzie are some of the most positive and friendly people I have ever met and are super passionate about their father's vision. Mark is an excellent cook and Jim is an incredibly knowledgable, friendly and open minded individual. There is always food, clean running water, toilet facilities and great company. Thank you all for an unforgettable 3 weeks!

This was my first experience as a volunteer, and it has been far above my expectations. the host is an amazingly ambitious project that brings together people from all around the world. I've learnt how to build a wall, carve the stone and even drive a tractor! I met people whom I never forget and that made me feel part of a big family. The only suggestion I would like to make would be the overall hygiene condition of the dorm and the canteen. Small habits and little rules can make a huge difference! Thank you Sam, Jim, Mark and Suzie. You are the best :)

I agree with your comment about canteen and dorm, the rules are in place, volunteers need to follow them. I do remind volunteers on occasion.

An unforgettable experience. Being in the host is like being with family, Susy as coordinator of events and tourist places is incredible, she always sees that you feel comfortable, she is always aware of even the smallest detail. Jim is the one who will support you throughout the construction process, with a lot of patience and a lot of fun, P.S. things that make him very happy is the food. Marck is the star chef of that place, he enjoys cooking and loves what he does, without a doubt it shows in the taste of his dishes, I hope that one day he will take out his recipe book.
