I arrived late at night and was welcomed with dinner (pizza night) and dessert (cake) and a table full of other volunteers who laughed and shared their stories with me as though I was already family! In the morning, I awoke to a beauty unparalleled: the jungles of Guatemala, the river, the birds, and peace! Pia, Mario, and all team of wonderful people that work at the lodge made me feel a part of a unit almost immediately. And the other volunteers: Julio, Sarah, Victor, Jacqueline, Jack, Alexa, Karla, and Hannah were a burst of pure joy. Family dinners with them were my absolute favorite!

I received a good introduction at the beginning and was able to settle in well. While working in the kitchen, I was constantly supported by the managers, which made communication easier. They were always available to answer questions. The relationship between what I received (food, accommodation, benefits) and the work I had to do was also very fair. I had a great time and felt very comfortable. It's a wonderful, transformative experience to be in this place, surrounded by nature.

Had an amazing month at the lodge! From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome. The work was more than fair — especially considering how well we were looked after with incredible food and drinks. As a meat eater, I was honestly blown away by how delicious everything was. We made great friends, spent hours playing in the river, and really enjoyed the slow jungle lifestyle. The hardest part was leaving. Hopefully we'll be back one day — this place is something special.

We loved our time at the lodge! The surrounding area is gorgeous, with Mayan locals living all around you in the village of Samill. There are lots of places to explore around the river. Semuc is close by. The hours are very reasonable, we worked 5 hours for 3 days, then had 2 days off. They made sure we had a day off together as a couple. The staff have a good sense of humour and it's a nice culture. The meals are excellent! You'll find yourself feeling very relaxed at the lodge. I really recommend it. The sorts of people who get drawn to volunteer here are lovely, it was sad to leave.

A very good experience. There is a schedule you follow and you have to do your shift so there is no confusion when you have to work. The place is very good and there are a lot if volunteers so you kind of create your own community there. We did have a small issue with the wifi and it was hard to get to a place with a wifi but other than that everything was great!

Volunteering at the lodge was an amazing experience for me. I had the opportunity to teach yoga and guide chocolate tours, and I'm incredibly grateful to all the beautiful souls I met along the way. This magical space allowed me to grow and unfold in ways I didn't expect. A special thanks to Pia, the manager, who supported me completely in stepping into my role as a yoga teacher. Her encouragement helped me feel confident, and I genuinely enjoyed every class I held at this stunning spot surrounded by nature. Thank you, the lodge, for everything. I carry this experience in my heart, see you!

My boyfriend and I had such a great time at the lodge! The tasks were super easy, and the volunteering hours were really fair. The food was delicious and varied every day. We're definitely going to miss the amazing staff and the beautiful nature around us.

We had a wonderful time volunteering at the lodge very close to Semuc Champey! The owner, Pia, is warm and welcoming, and I'm very grateful to her for making our stay so beautiful. The working hours were exactly as described fair, light work, with plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. The food was absolutely delicious, and we always felt respected and cared for. I definitely recommend volunteering here if you want a peaceful and rewarding experience in the Guatemalan jungle!
