I volunteered with the hotel for 2 weeks to help update their website. Jose is very kind, nice to talk with, and is passionate about the outdoors. My hours were flexible depending on the day, for example I shifted my hours one day to ski, or when we had days that were more or less busy I would help in the restaurant or bar as well. The area is very beautiful, in the mountains with a river close by. There is a small town 20-30 minute walk away with some hiking as well as a cascade. There are some buses but hitch hiking is also safe and easy here :) Very relaxing and beautiful experience!

Mi experiencia en el hotel fue super buena, partiendo por el equipo de trabajo que son un 10, muy amigables y cooperativos, mis tareas fueron ayudando en la cocina ya que el restaurant es uno de los fuertes y donde mas se requería asistencia, también pude cooperar en el ámbito digital. Jose como anfitrión también super amable y flexible al momento de colaborar en este proyecto que me permitió ofrecer mi tiempo y habilidades. La convivencia en el lugar y la gente local fue super. El lugar y los paisajes son hermosos. Agradecido de esta experiencia y a las personas :DDD ¡Gracias!

Desde el primer momento me sentí como en casa, el personal muy amigable y con grandes corazones. Las tareas se las tiene que buscar uno mismo ya que no había mucho que hacer, fui cambiando de tareas y adaptándome a la necesidad diaria. La zona es espectacular, a pesar del mal tiempo pude disfrutar de la subida al parque natural de Corralco y a los alrededores. En general todo ha ido muy bien.

El hotel es hermoso ! Hay mucho por hacer conocer y recorrer cerca y lejos , jose una energía hermosa. Tenes muchas opciones para movilizarte y la gente de la zona es súper amena . Lo que acordas es aún mejor de las condiciones que se establecen así que en ese sentido un mil ! Quizás hay que estar dispuesto a ser bastante proactivo en las actividades porque no hay cómo mucho por hacer así qué hay que inventarse las actividades para sentir que uno es de ayuda , aclaró que yo viaje fuera de temporada entonces la realidad es que no había mucho por hacer y a veces se torna un poco tedioso.

Aprendi ajudando no hotel, tanto ajudando na cozinha quanto atendendo pessoas. O restaurante é muito bom e serve pratos excelentes, recebemos gorjeta o que acaba ajudando. A região de Malalcahuello é belíssima, próxima de Parques Nacionais e com paisagens deslumbrantes. José e sua família são solícitos e te ajudam quando necessário. Achei que os horários de trabalho não foram muito respeitados, as horas extras trabalhas acabam não sendo levadas em consideração pelo anfitrião. Apesar disso, recomendo muito conhecer o lugar e agradeço muito pelos dias que passei ali.
