Steve and Dawn were very welcoming and generous and they always had tasks for me to do to make me feel productive. The dogs, Zorro and Badger, are absolutely adorable, and walking them in the morning is a great way to start the day. They also found time to take me to other parts of Andalucía, which I really enjoyed, and gave me lots of free time to travel independently on my days off as well. Villalengua is a beautiful village with very warm and friendly locals who took the time to chat to me, and make me feel at home in the town. This is really not an opportunity you want to miss out on!

Muy buena experiencia, pasamos buenos ratos con Steve y Dawn pasear.con zorro es muy bonito, es un lugar muuy tranquilo por lo cual es necesario que seas cuidadoso y silencioso para no molestar a los invitados, ya que esa es su política, compartas el baño con ellos y las comidas también. es pueblo es muy pequeño pero puedes conocer otros a pocos quilometros , Steve es muy amigable y Dawn lleva muy bien su negocio y sabe cómo quiere que se hagan las cosas así que no dudes de su método!

We went for a week and end up staying for almost 20 days, and when we left we felt like it was too soon. Dawn and Steve really know how to make you feel at home, they are thoughtful and always have a funny anecdote to share. The region is incredible, with wonderful landscapes. The house is stunning and has a beautiful garden. The tasks were simple, cleaning, painting, gardening and some translations. Not to forget walking the lovely dogs, Zorro and Badger. Everything was delicious, the food, the wine, the ice cream. Thank you so much for the amazing time! We will be back

Steve y Dawn son geniales y el lugar es presioso fue una muy grata experiencia. Los perritos son lo más hermoso del mundo!!. En cuanto a las labores, ayudarlos ha sido muy satisfactorio ya que han trabajado muy duro por este lugar. Es un lugar muy tranquilo y de mucha paz!!.

I've learned a lot with Steve and Dawn, from marketing to cleaning walls. They're very friendly and respectful. The village is super super quiet perfect to rest, get into the culture and connect with nature. They were very attentive and took me to meet some places around. Wonderful experience. I fall in love with the Village

Dawn and Steve are really nice people. Although we stayed a short time with them, we enjoyed a lot helping at the hotel project and knowing the area and surrundings. Very recommended experience!

Lamentablemente no fue una buena experiencia para ninguno y mi aporte no es lo que necesitaban. Se presentaron malos entendidos quizá por la barrera de idioma y cultura, porque no congeniamos o porque están pasando por un momento de estrés a causa de la licencia pero no me sentí cómoda a diferencia la casa otros voluntariados en los que he estado. Por otra parte, nada justifica el trato ofensivo en la última conversación de parte de Dawn, por esa razón me fui antes. Con otro ambiente de diálogo se hubiesen podido solucionar los problemas. Resalto la amabilidad de Steve y la naturaleza.

Se você vai com mais alguém para ajudar no trabalho, pode ser bom, ou ainda se você tem costume em limpar 4 ou 5 banheiros, quartos e sala, em um período de 5 horas sem almoçar, pois só se relaxa após finalizar tudo. Ah, você também precisa falar o inglês, pois não se fala espanhol na casa. Foi uma experiência de crescimento, sobretudo para o autoconhecimento. Tudo é aprendizado.

Hello. We both know this was a terrible experience. The worldpackers here all loved their stay.

Unfortunately, you had no awareness of how to help and of the situation.

We had three rooms to change, not five. In the first two hours that I left you, hardly anything was done. I asked you if you wanted a break. Finally, we finished, with a lot of my help and me recleaning everything that you should have done. We finished at 2 pm and you started at 10.am. That is four hours.

In addition, you said that you could speak some English and could help us speak Spanish. Therefore, as we are English and do not speak very much Spanish, it would make sense that you could communicate just a little with me.

When you decided not to give it another day (because you said you were a writer and teacher and could not do it), you then proceeded to ignore me and then after eating left plates and pans for me to wash and clear away.

None of these things are how a worldpacker should be.
