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!

The lodge is an amazing place to volunteer at if you are looking to submerge yourself in nature. There are some beautiful hikes you can take yourself on and the surrounding jungle is perfect for exploring. The food is delicious and plentiful and there is an opportunity to work alongside the local mayan women which was a truly unique experience. The team who work at the lodge are friendly and chilled and the dogs are just gorgeous.

I've stayed in the lodge as a cooking volunteer for one month. My working schedule was as described, so I had 3 days off and then work for 4 days in row. It was a big advantage for me to speak spanish so that I could communicate easily with the kitchen staff. You definitely need to know how to cook, because you are coming up with the menu of the family style dinners and you will lead the kitchen. There is always one woman working with you, so you are never alone, but it is a lot of work with cleaning the dishes by hand and making dinner in busy season for 30+ people. I def learned a lot.

I honestly did love it here, definitely fully immersed in nature which has its ups and downs. The high points would be the tours that you can go on and meeting locals, one big low point was the mould that is in the dorm room that does eventually get to your clothes and bags. All volunteers have had the same problem and you can clean everything repeatedly but unfortunately the mould is inescapable I do wish I had known that to better prepare myself. Other than that i would recommend this experience as the actual hotel was really nice and the food they give you is amazing.

The lodge is a beautiful spot surrounded by the stunning nature of Semuc Champey, offering a peaceful atmosphere to connect with nature. I had a great time there, meeting wonderful people. However, if you're looking for a project focused on sustainability and social change, it might not meet those expectations, as it seems to operate more like a traditional hotel. Also the volunteer agreement specifies 30hrs per week, but the workload can sometimes exceed that (37hrs) if there are not enough volunteers. Female travelers should also be aware that some local workers may catcall on a daily basis.
