It is located in a really nice area, peaceful and calm, surrounded with nature. The host family is very kind, it was a pleasure to meet them. Madrid is quite close, which is a pro as well. However, personally, for me it did not reach my standards when it comes to hygene and cleanliness. Overall it was a nice experience, met some nice people:)

The other volunteers and Marta are great! The place is a bit isolated from most things but a great place to enjoy the quieter countryside life.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ❌ Unfortunately, the app only allows 600 characters. I joined this volunteer program seeking peace, but it was exhausting from the start. The room was mixed though I was told it wouldn't be; Martha fixed it on the second night. Martha is kind, but the place doesn't deliver what it promises: the 6-hour work schedule is not respected, very poor hygiene with trash, many flies, and the food were leftovers from events, some even a week old. For more info or videos, message me.

El alojamiento es mixto, nadie te dijo q no, siempre fue así y nadie se quejo, cuando lo requeriste, nos adaptamos, igual que a tu alimentacíon, a que solo quisieras cocinar para ti, te di lo que pediste para preparar tu dieta especial. Como te dije, mucha intolerancia y poca comunicación de tu parte. Como os dije a los 3. En privado me das las gracias,me deseas lo mejor pero con tu reseña cierras a otros la oportunidad de disfrutar de lo que podemos ofrecer con amor. Disfruta de tu viaje.

I leave 5 stars only because I can't leave more. The experience was up and above my expectations. The farm is beautiful and cozy, Marta was always extremely welcoming and open to suggestions. The work was manageable and wasn't that hard. I would definitely volunteer again at Rincón the farm.

I had overall a good experience at El Valle Secreto even though there were not much volunteers at the time I was there, we still managed to have fun and make day trips to Madrid as well as visit the beautiful village of Miraflores. The place we slept in could be a little cleaner but everyone was very nice and caring ! I also had the opportunity to learn more about catering and learn from Martha as well, a very intelligent and ambitious person, I enjoyed our conversations and dinners together ! :)

I'm so glad about my experience in the host. It was very interesting to see what tasks are behind a catering and to cook so much together. Marta and her family are so lovely and try to make you a great stay. We ate and talked together every day and I improved my Spanish a little. I met so many nice people, we were a cool group, had a lot of fun and I really enjoyed my time. The surroundings are pretty, Miraflores is such a cute village and we did an amazing day trip to Madrid. I will never forget this experience, thanks for everything! :)

I had a great time with Martha, her family, and other volunteers. The tasks were absolutely manageable and as expected. It was also really nice to have other volunteers present, however you need to speak at least a little bit of Spanish if you want to have any conversations with them (because they don't know a lot of English), so keep that in mind. But besides that everything was great!

It was a really nice experience! We had the chance to get to know a lot of different people and their cultures, also Marta and her beautiful family were very kind and friendly, and the place is located in a very nice region where you can go for a walk or visit the cute city of Miraflores de la sierra, and obviously Madrid.

Marta is very nice. I think she means well and wants this program to succeed, however the volunteers need more communication and direction for that to happen. The place is also not what I expected, and was not clean enough for me to be comfortable there long term. No one could tell me if the sheets on my bed were clean or not, nor find a clean towel for me, which was disturbing. There were mice running through the catering warehouse as well. I understand this is in nature but all of the above was terrible for my allergies and I unfortunately made me very uncomfortable and I left early.
