I had an amazing experience at the project. The work was good, the feeding program was awesome, and everyone was so nice. They were so accommodating and I would absolutely recommend.

I read the negative review and must confess that I had some doubts coming here, especially because it was said that the animals were malnourished.I'went anyway, luckily! I had a wonderful three weeks. I felt very welcome and enjoyed every minute. Javi is an attentive host and likes to take care of it that you are having a good time by Introducing you to friends and guests and preparing delicious food. The dogs and cats are great. They are certainly not malnourished, but are well cared. The location is beautiful and working in the garden was a pleasure. I hope to come back one day.

I really enjoyed my time at the project! Javi, Ruben and the team were super kind and welcoming, the work was light and reasonable, serving people was amazing, each day was different, and the volcano views are unmatched!! As everyone mentions, Javi is a chef and the food was delicious :) However, I do agree with others that communication and expectations here can be an issue, and it does at times feel like you're walking on eggshells trying to follow unspoken schedules or expectations. But if you're a respectful guest who is ready to enjoy lots of free time in nature, I recommend it!

Ready to have breakfast with the view of two volcanos? Once you finished should be ready for working in the garden and enjoy time in the nature 🌱 I had a really nice time there,playing with the dogs, having amazing food for lunch and prepraring soup for locals. My only recommenation is to pay attention to house rules (like anywhere) and dynamics in general to have a nice stay 🤗

My stay was nice! Work & hours as described, food is amazing, & fresh from garden. Dogs well cared for. Ruben is a legend, Javi is lovely but can be unclear in his expectations/communication which can lead to tension (amongst other staff, volunteers and himself). Experience tainted by Javi's girlfriend's behaviour. From not allowing us food at times, to switching hot water off from volunteer shower, a miserable presence who created a low energy environment. Would recommend for personal fulfillment (lovely garden, serving food to locals) but you need to see past chaotic & awkward social aspect.

We learned a lot about sustainability in the garden and kitchen. The food we received was very good and you can also improve your kitchen skills with Javi if you like. Serving food to people was very nice and you can feel that you have an inpact.

Our stay at the project was a really cool experience. We worked outdoors from 8 a.m -1 p.m and could relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in the afternoon. Breakfast and lunch was included and believe me: it was very tasty! On thursdays we headed to antigua to give out soups- it's a wonderful experience. Im grateful for the time at Benji's and hope to come back one day:-)

I had a great time at the project! I connected with nature and could help in the garden / at the field. On thursdays we gave out soups in antigua, that was a nice experience as well! The working time is from 8 in the morning till 1 p.m. Benji prepares breakfast and lunch - it's delicious!! I ate the best cannelonis ever :)) If you wanna work outdoors, learn more about gardening and escape the city life this is a great opportunity. Cute cats and dogs included:D

The property is beautiful, however, felt uncomfortable from the beginning. There is a clear disrespect towards locals, the host would judge and criticize them in english, in front of them. Chef was constantly complaining about other volunteers, passive aggressive and unorganized. I am very surprised there are such high ratings with others, he talked down on many of them. Avoid the chaos. There are many beautiful animals on the property, however only some are favoured and most are well underfed. The host gave us blood, pee, and mold stained beds… avoid at all cost. I have photos for proof!
